Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| Influent pH before treatment | pH 3.3, against a municipal discharge requirement of 5.5-6.5 | LibertyCES field case study: Automated Wastewater pH Treatment System |
| Civil penalty exposure for non-compliant discharge | $25,000+ per day | LibertyCES field case study: Automated Wastewater pH Treatment System |
| Holding tank | 4,500 gal, polyethylene, double-wall (Snyder Industries) | LibertyCES field case study: Automated Wastewater pH Treatment System |
| Plant flow rate | 20,000-40,000 GPD | LibertyCES field case study: Automated Wastewater pH Treatment System |
| Mixer impeller material | Stainless steel impellers (Grovhac industrial mixer) | LibertyCES field case study: Automated Wastewater pH Treatment System |
| Post-treatment result | Consistent 5.5-6.5 pH, fully automated, zero manual sampling | LibertyCES field case study: Automated Wastewater pH Treatment System |
Closed-loop control with conditional discharge authorization is what prevents pH-overshoot when dosing caustic into a pH-3.3 acidic stream — overshoot itself creates a new compliance failure, so a manual batch-dosed mixer tank is a worse spec than an automated one even before accounting for operator error.
A stainless-steel-impeller mixer isn't a default pick here — it's what keeps a pH-3.3 neutralization tank from becoming the failure point in a system built to eliminate $25,000-per-day penalty exposure. James Riggins specs the mixer material and the closed-loop control logic together, because a mixer that can't hold up in the corrosive holding tank defeats the automation built around it.
