ViroChrome™ Reagent - removes 99% of chromium in tannery waste water, and greatly reduces odour.
Tannery effluent before and after treatment with ElectroBind™ reagent.
ViroFlow™ Technology, utilising our patented ViroChrome™ reagent, is achieving remarkable results for tanneries - and normally requires minimal capital works.
ViroChrome™ reagent binds chromium so tightly in the sludge that it is not deemed hazardous. Other benfits include reduction in sludge volumes, high pH buffering capacity, and increased settling times resulting in improved water quality.
> A comprehensive TECHNICAL DATA SHEET covering the
chemistry and application of ViroChrome™ reagent to the TANNING INDUSTRY and how it can remove 99.8% chromium in a 24 hour treatment period.
> A CASE STUDY of how ViroFlow™ Technology was applied and integrated with great success at TASMAN SHEEPSKIN TANNERY reducing sludge and odour, and raising effluent pH.
> See how ElectroBind™ reagent outperformed lime, dramatically reducing the chromium concentration in waste water, and also odour, at BIRDSALL TANNERY in this comprehensive CASE STUDY.
> ViroFlow™ Technology using ViroChrome™ reagent was used to treat tannery sludge at TASMAN SHEEPSKIN TANNERY. Treated residues can later be used as compost or soil conditioner to facilitate revegetation. View the details of this CASE STUDY.
EXTRACTS OF TESTIMONIALS FROM VARIOUS CASE STUDIES:
>“The results achieved were very good, with chromium concentrations being lowered significantly... (another) substantial benefit of ViroFlow™ Technology was odour reduction.” Manager, Tasman Sheepskin Tannery
>“The use of ViroFlow™Technology has resulted in all parameters being below the discharge requirements... We have also found that the odour generation from our waste water system is considerably less since using ViroChrome™ reagent.” Operations Manager, Birdsall Leather & Craft
