Background:

The Aramco Research Center is an advanced facility dedicated to upstream research and technology development focused on improving the discovery and recovery of hydrocarbon resources.

Striem products were utilized as part of a project for the facility. The mechanical contractor responsible for the installation was Raven Mechanical, whose team delivered a high-quality installation and helped bring this project to life.

The Solution:

Striem’s Lab Basin™ Centralized Neutralization Tank and CC-1 Command Center pH Monitoring System were selected as an ideal solution for this application.

Designed for laboratory environments, the Lab Basin system provides a durable, low-maintenance approach to acid waste neutralization. Constructed from polyethylene, the tank offers strong chemical resistance and long service life. Its lightweight design simplifies handling and installation, while field-adjustable risers and a cover adapter allow finished floor elevations to be achieved cleanly.

Key Takeaways:

Centralized Acid Neutralization: Essential for large-scale laboratory environments with diverse testing requirements. The system neutralizes low-pH wastewater onsite before discharge to the sanitary sewer or local wastewater treatment facility.
Durable Material Selection: Polyethylene construction provides superior chemical resistance and long-term durability, making it well suited for demanding chemical waste applications.
Long-Term Environmental Protection: Lifetime-guaranteed systems help minimize long-term risk for public and institutional owners while protecting native soil, groundwater, and surrounding waterways.
Application Flexibility: Striem’s Lab Basin™ acid neutralization solutions are designed to serve a wide range of facilities, from educational laboratories to advanced state and municipal research institutions.
Advanced System Monitoring: The CC-1 Command Center pH Monitoring System provides continuous monitoring to verify proper system operation and protect against unintended low-pH discharge.
