Could your wastewater be more valuable than you think? Water retailer Castle Water explains, below.

No matter the industry you are in, you will need to deal with wastewater at some point. Whether you end the day with gallons of industrial effluent or simply dirty dishwater from the office coffee pot, make sure your water is being safely treated before reentering the water supply. Castle Water can help.

Waste treatment plans
Castle Water’s partners employ a meticulous three-stage process to treat and filter your wastewater. This not only ensures your business meets all necessary regulations but also means your business contributes to clean water sources. An initial filtration captures any object larger than 6mm before the water moves onto the Primary, Secondary and Tertiary stages of the process, which will ultimately result in safe water being released back into our rivers.

What about the gold?
Research has shown that in large cities, precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum and copper find their way into biosolids and can be worth up to $13 million every year. In fact, a waste treatment plant in Japan has reportedly extracted more gold than would normally be forthcoming from an actual gold mine, all from the ashes of incinerated waste sludge (this is what is extracted in the primary stage of the wastewater process).
