University Lab

During the year-long construction of a new laboratory facility, the existing laboratory was disconnected from the university’s on-site wastewater treatment plant. Because the wastewater from the lab could not be discharged directly to the sanitary sewer, the university was forced to find an alternative disposal option for the lab waste stream.

NewStream was able to work with the university to provide a comprehensive solution. NewStream coordinated the delivery and installation of a 20,000-gallon storage tank on the university grounds. Laboratory waste waters could then be diverted to this temporary holding tank and ultimately hauled to NewStream for treatment and discharge.

The benefits to the University were numerous:
  • They were able to continue all laboratory activities and classes during the construction of the new lab
  • They were spared the cost of having to construct and operate a temporary treatment facility
  • They were able rely on NewStream’s fully licensed and permitted discharge capabilities to ensure compliance with their own stringent discharge standards.
