At present, treatment and disposal are THE PROCESS the most common ways of handling these wastes. Faltering is one treatment 1~lexographie ink waste usually contains method. The .filter, often composed of from l to-15 percent solids, and has a pH diatomaceous earth (DE), filters out ink between 8.5 and 11.5. Acetic acid is solids from the waste. This creates a added to lower the pH to below 5.0. The solid waste product composed mostly of wastes are then put through a filter press DE with a low weight percentage of to filter out the non-biodegradable metals. This waste product can pass pigments which eventually can clog the most state and local regulations and is ABG. Up to 250 gallons of waste can be disposed of in local or municipal solid filtered in 5 hours. T'me resulting filter waste landfills cake consists of a clay-like solid composed of water, ink pigment and Then, depending on the local sewer binders. These filtered pigments could ordinances and the filtered water's then be recycled in applications such as toxicity, the filtered water may be coloring plastics or dement. The filtrate discharged to the sewer or disposed of is then fed into the ABG system for at a hazardous waste landfall waste water recycling. V Another treatment method uses The Advanced Bio-Gest is a biologically chemical coagulants to separate the ink based, electromechanical-system-that solids from the waste water before it is uses horse manure as its source of filtered and discharged to the sewer microbes. Horse manure seems to be the Both the filter and separation methods best source for these microbe$ since the allow diluted waste water to either enter horse uses the same process to detoxify the sewer without detoxifying the poisonous plants in its own stomach. hazardous components, or they add to Unlike most other herbivores, horses do the volume of hazardous waste that not have a harsh sterilizing environment must be disposed in the last part of their intestines, so the microbes pass through to the manure. The Advanced Bio-Gest (ABG) system The manure is placed in a stainless steel offers an alternative to these methods chamber in the ABG system and acts as of treatment and disposal It also a digestive filter medium.
