Virginia Scrap Metal Recycler Installs Advanced Treatment System
StormwateRx LLC, a provider of industrial storm water treatment and filtration systems, announced today that Davis Industries, a scrap metal recycling facility in Lorton, Va., has installed the most environmentally protective StormwateRx treatment system on the East Coast. The new system removes dirt, sediment, fine particulates, hydrocarbons and dissolved metals from storm water runoff from Davis Industries’ 23 acre scrap metal recycling yard.
The StormwateRx treatment train—which utilizes a basic storm water filtration system to remove dirt and concentrate solids, an enhanced storm water filtration system to condition water and remove hydrocarbons, and an advanced storm water polishing system for removal of fine particulates and dissolved metals—has enabled the company to meet stringent environmental permit requirements and protect local waterways from pollution. Davis Industries also utilizes synergistic water reclamation processes that enable the company to save water by recycling it for use in washing and cooling the company’s automobile shredder.
“The installation of a StormwateRx treatment train at Davis Industries sets another example for the scrap metal industry and demonstrates the company’s commitment to clean water,” said StormwateRx CEO and President Calvin Noling. “It is the most extensive StormwateRx treatment train installed in the eastern region.”
“We are always looking for ways to improve the efficiency and sustainability of our operations, and making sure we have the best storm water treatment equipment is part of that commitment,” said Bill Bukevicz, executive vice president of Davis Industries. “The StormwateRx treatment train has put Davis Industries at the forefront of environmental technology for the scrap metal recycling industry and we are proud to own one of the most environmentally protective systems on the East Coast.”
Construction and installation of the systems was completed early September 2011.
