WENDELL, N.C., Feb. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Fortrans Inc. announces an industry first. The Poli-Cut pH control system: a self-contained portable pH control system for the concrete polishing, grinding and cutting industries. The Poli-Cut pH control system is used to lower the pH of the process water produced in these types of operations so that the water can be safely discharged without polluting the environment. Concrete is polished and ground with diamond abrasives using water as a lubricant. The concrete that is removed forms a slurry which is removed by filtration. The high pH water that is left after filtering is recycled back into the polishing or grinding operation. However, there is always excess high pH water that must be disposed of. This water cannot be discharged into the storm water or sewer drain or to the environment without incurring sizable fines from local and state regulatory agencies. The Poli-Cut pH control system is a self-contained, automated machine that solves the problem for the industry.
