WAUKEGAN, Ill., July 16,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- UCC Environmental (UCC), a
leader in sustainable engineered solutions for air pollution
control, water and wastewater treatment, and solids handling, and
Vacom Systems, a wastewater treatment technology provider, today
announced a strategic teaming agreement to jointly offer advanced
wastewater treatment solutions tailored to meet site-specific Zero
Liquid Discharge
(ZLD) requirements in coal-fired power
plants across North America. This collaboration
integrates the strengths and expertise of both companies,
presenting a unified solution to meet EPA's 2024 Effluent
Limitation Guidelines and environmental regulatory
requirements.
This partnership leverages Vacom Systems' proprietary wastewater
remediation technology for ZLD applications, complemented by UCC's
expertise in solids management, wastewater treatment, and project
execution as well as established customer relationships within
power generation. The integrated solution provides advanced
salt-dewatering technology and a one-step crystallization process.
It also highlights our combined engineering expertise and project
execution capabilities while providing our customers with
best-in-class ZLD technology and the lowest cost of ownership under
a single contract. This approach enables customers to achieve
compliance safely, efficiently, and affordably.
"With the final Effluent Limitations Guidelines recently issued,
we understand the growing need for affected coal-fired plants to
satisfy these complex environmental standards," says Jim Schleiffarth, President and CEO of Vacom
Systems. "By partnering with UCC, we combine our complementary
expertise to offer customers a seamless and efficient approach to
meeting regulatory requirements. This collaboration ensures
guaranteed system performance, delivering superior value and
reliability to our customers."
Kevin McDonough, Executive Vice President and Chief Revenue
Officer at UCC, added, "Vacom's proprietary evaporation and
crystallization technology represent a significant advancement in
wastewater remediation. In parallel, UCC brings over a century of
experience and a highly respected reputation for designing,
supplying, and installing sustainable, turnkey wastewater solutions
within power generation, where we tackle the most complex and
demanding challenges on behalf of our customers. By coordinating
efforts, our two companies are collaboratively managing risks and
ensuring the delivery of the most cost-effective solutions for our
customers."
The joint UCC-Vacom offering applies to any North American power
generation facility requiring concentration, crystallization, or
ZLD for wastewater remediation. UCC Environmental
will lead sales operations and manage customer engagements for this
