Provided by YP.comA major retrofit at a large military hangar in northern Washington state included the removal of the original lead-based paint from the interior of the massive metal building. This was a multi-phase project that included planning and implementation of an environmentally sound plan that included safe disposal of the residual lead paint. The plan included pressure washing to blast off the old paint into large collection pans underneath each work area. Once collected and prior to disposal, all of the contaminated water needed to be treated and prepped before discharge. This included large amounts of accumulated lead paint chips, dissolved lead particles and other pollutants resident on the hangar interior after years of use.
The management team devised a solution that started with a series of bag filters followed by filtration columns filled with MetalZorb Metals Removal Media. As the water flowed through the bag filters into the columns, the MetalZorb media polished all of the water to remove the lead before safe discharge.
MetalZorb performed well in this environment with its high capacity, low impedance to flow and no backwash required. The lead was captured and held in the absorbent media, preventing the metallic ions from leaching out.

- * Inexpensive Solution for Construction Sites * Easy To Access and Clean For Trash and Debris Removal * Very High Capture Capacity for Suspended Solids The CleanWay's Storm Clean curb inlet filtration inserts are highly effective at capturing and removing pollutants from storm water runoff. They can be used in curb inlets for direct capture at the source, as well as pretreatment for Underground Injection Controls (UIC), as secondary devices in treatment trains for protection of downstream devices such as swales, detention/retention ponds and infiltration trenches. To control and capture pollutants common to buildings with metal roofs, downspout filters provide an efficient and cost effective solution. Along with metal roofs, many buildings have rooftop equipment that could contribute to metals and oils runoff where downspout filtration is the answer. CleanWay offers high efficiency Storm Clean wall mount filtration inserts for use in a variety of applications. We offer several sizes and configurations in standard dimensions that fit into a wide range of existing structures. For parking lots and any impervious surfaces where oil and heavy metals such as zinc, copper and lead are prevalent, check out our highly efficient Adsorption Booms. For highly effective metal removal from storm water, industrial and wastewater discharge, CleanWay offers a proven product that efficiently removes heavy metals through ion absorption and filtration.
