The commitment to sustainability and the environment is\nthe premise at Hidronor Chile. This is how in the treatment processes of\nwaste the company incorporates the recovery of wastewater from\nby RILes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur commitment as a company is inclusive. That is to say,\nwe not only recover and revalue waste so that it can be\nreused by other companies, but we take advantage of some, such as wastewater,\nto operate in our own process plants \", highlights Juan Andr\u00e9s\nSalamanca,<\/strong> gerente de Ventas y Marketing de la compa\u00f1\u00eda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The treatment of these liquids, which enter Hidronor as hazardous liquid waste, such as IRRs from processes and contaminated waters, is carried out through physical-chemical processes to abate the dangerous components with a control of the process parameters. The treatments used include neutralization, metal precipitation, advanced oxidation, chemical reduction and filtration of the treated waste. After this process, the liquids are already in optimal conditions to be reused as process water in plant operations, and it is used by Hidronor and other industries. In other words, Hidronor reuses water within its processes, minimizing the use of industrial water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Currently the company has three operating plants\nthroughout the country, distributed in Antofagasta, Pudahuel and Concepci\u00f3n. \"In\nWe all implement the same process, in order to make even stronger\nour commitment to the environment \u201d, adds Juan Andr\u00e9s.<\/p>\n
