; SLUP) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary WITS, Inc. has been awarded a contract for a project for the Town of Keysville, Virginia's wastewater treatment plant Wastewater treatment plant also called wastewater treatment works
  • Sewage treatment – treatment and disposal of human waste.
  • Industrial wastewater treatment – the treatment of wet wastes from manufacturing industry and commerce including mining, quarrying and
. This is the initial result of a decision by Solucorp/WITS to further focus efforts and to commence a nationwide marketing campaign to introduce WITS treatment package to municipalities with wastewater treatment plants throughout the country. WITS is in late stages of contract negotiations with other companies and municipalities. WITS has signed agreements with several leading marketing firms including MC2 of Omaha, Nebraska “Omaha” redirects here. For other uses, see Omaha (disambiguation).
Omaha is the largest city in the State of Nebraska, United States. It is the county seat of Douglas County.GR6 As of the 2000 census, the city had a population of 390,007.

 and American Environmental Corporation of Indianapolis, Indiana. The installation of the Keysville, Virginia wastewater treatment plant will serve as the first full scale commercial operation of the WITS technology. It is estimated that there are thousands of municipal wastewater treatment plants and a large percentage of them cannot meet the new requirements on discharge of contaminants.

Since these government regulations make requirements on contaminant contaminant /con·tam·i·nant/ (kon-tam´in-int) something that causes contamination.

 remediation more stringent, the normal biological treatment process frequently is unable to remediate the contaminants to acceptable regulatory levels. WITS' technology separates itself from other traditional treatment technology by being able to surpass the most stringent regulatory levels for all contaminants of concern. After being added to the Record of Decision (ROD), WITS' technology was selected by F.L. Showalter, Inc., the general contractor on the project.

WITS' package was specified for copper removal from the Keysville waste stream by B & B Consultants, a Virginia-based engineering firm. The equipment proprietary to WITS, required for this project has been ordered from the manufacturer who will build it to WITS required specifications. The delivery of the equipment to the site will be in December 2004. This will meet the terms of the COD purchase order that WITS has received. WITS utilizes electrocoagulation electrocoagulation /elec·tro·co·ag·u·la·tion/ (-ko-ag?ul-a´shun) coagulation of tissue by means of an electric current.

 to remove contaminants from wastewater. Although electrocoagulation is not a new technology, having been utilized almost 100 years, WITS refines the process to increase removal of contaminant rates and lowers capital and operating costs while meeting new regulatory requirements giving testimony for Solucorp's decision to purchase WITS.

Electrocoagulation is one of the components of the package. This process is based on the use of strong electric fields and electrically induced oxidation and reduction oxidation and reduction, complementary chemical reactions characterized by the loss or gain, respectively, of one or more electrons by an atom or molecule. Originally the term oxidation  reactions.

This process removes the majority of heavy metals heavy metals,

 and is also able to kill microorganisms in the water (such as fecal coliform coliform /col·i·form/ (kol´i-form) pertaining to fermentative gram-negative enteric bacilli, sometimes restricted to those fermenting lactose, e.g., Escherichia, Klebsiella, or Enterobacter.  and salmonella). It is also able to precipitate charged colloids (organics and inorganics) and remove significant amounts of other ions (heavy metals) colloids and emulsions. This contract marks the first that uses a new user- friendly chamber design.

The WITS wastewater treatment system is scheduled to be fully operational in the first quarter of 2005 attesting to the practical application of WITS' advanced system.

About WITS Inc.

WITS Inc., founded in 2001 and purchased by Solucorp in June of 2004, is capable of supplying package systems to treat contaminated contaminated,
v 1. made radioactive by the addition of small quantities of radioactive material.
2. made contaminated by adding infective or radiographic materials.
3. an infective surface or object.
 wastewater as low as 20 gallons per minute and upwards of 200 gallons per minute. By installing multiple package systems, flows greater than that can be achieved. In addition to pricing advantages, the WITS package produces a better water end result without using harmful chemicals. The major water/wastewater areas where the WITS' package can be utilized with significant benefits includes water utilities; wastewater utilities; sludge processing; combined sewer overflows; industrial pretreatment pretreatment,

This technology is also presented in a periodical produced by the EPA titled Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) Program, Technology Profiles 10th Edition, and Demonstration Program. As an outgrowth of MBS, Solucorp has and continues to develop products and prototypes for its IFS (Integrated Fixation System) technology, which can be used as a coating or additive to paint strippers, paint booth filters, batteries, ammunition, computers, switches, liners, coal fire furnaces (mercury) and a host of other products where hazardous metals come in contact, to enable manufacturers to produce products that self-remediate there by eliminating environmental pollution at its source.
