DOST-FPRDI develops wastewater treatment equipment
- Details
The DOST-Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI) recently installed its wastewater treatment equipment to a Pampanga-based furniture and handicraft company.
The equipment was developed to help RSU Manufacturing Corporation properly dispose of the used water coming from their finishing spray booths (FSBs). RSU produces furniture and handicrafts from wood, rattan and other non-wood forest products, and currently operates nine wet-type FSBs.
“This equipment addresses the improper discharge of wastewater that usually contains toxic chemicals from the finishing overspray. It takes into account the wastewater’s characteristics and the best treatment method for it,” explained project leader Engr. Edward S. Marasigan.
