CONTAMINANTS
Uranium
WRT’s Z-92® process is the most effective and environmentally responsible choice you can make for removing uranium from drinking water and the community. That’s because after removing the uranium, we return it to the fuel cycle; eliminating the disposal of treatment residuals and the associated long-term liability.
This process removes uranium by passing contaminated water through a fluidized bed of our proprietary Z-92® adsorptive media in treatment columns—without adding chemicals, generating liquid waste, or wasting water. We provide a complete solution, from process equipment and radiation safety assurance to the handling and transportation of uranium-loaded media.
