Abstract
A method for processing a coolant includes filtering a coolant using a first filtration system to generate a first filtered material, and filtering the filtered coolant using a second filtration system to generate a second filtered material. The second filtration system is different from the first filtration system. The first filtered material is transferred to a first waste treatment container and converted to a first waste product for permanent disposal, and the second waste product is transferred to a second waste treatment container and converted to a second waste product for permanent disposal.
Claims17
A method for processing a coolant comprising:
- filtering a coolant using a first filtration system to generate a first filtered material;
- filtering the filtered coolant using a second filtration system to generate a second filtered material, the second filtration system being different from the first filtration system;
- transferring the first filtered material to a first waste treatment container to convert the first filtered material to a first waste product for permanent disposal;
- and
- transferring the second filtered material to a second waste treatment container to convert the second filtered material to a second waste product for permanent disposal.
A system comprising:
- a first filtration system configured to filter a coolant and generate a first filtered material;
- a second filtration system configured to filter the filtered coolant and generate a second filtered material, the second filtration system different from the first filtration system;
- a first waste treatment container configured to convert the first filtered material to a first waste product for permanent disposal;
- and
- a second waste treatment container configured to convert the second filtered material to a second waste product for permanent disposal.
