GE’s MetClear™ metals removal chemistry is used to remove targeted heavy metals including but not limited to mercury, copper, and nickel from wastewater streams. MetClear™ metals removal chemistry can help customers significantly lower the concentrations of metals in discharge streams typically without capital modifications of the existing wastewater treatment system.

Environmental Benefits
By using MetClear™ metals removal chemistry in wastewater treatment systems, customers can significantly reduce the concentration of targeted metals, typically without the cost, installation, and maintenance of additional equipment. In one instance, several competitive technologies were unable to help a customer economically meet their nickel discharge permit limit. Without additional equipment and at a lower cost, GE's MetClear™ metals removal chemistry reduced nickel concentrations by more than 95% to surpass the performance of competitive technologies, permit limits, and toxicity characterization leaching procedure (TCLP) testing requirements.
Operating Benefits
GE's MetClear™ metals removal chemistry produces less sludge than traditional ferrous sulfate technology. In one case, a customer treating 430,000 gallons of wastewater per day generated 49% less sludge by using MetClear™ metals removal chemistry instead of ferrous sulfate technology, without additional capital expenditure for equipment.
