Neutralization Pit Services

Whitman offers services to clean, inspect, and recharge the neutralization tanks in school laboratories. This service helps minimize liabilities related to chemical or gas exposure for students and staff while ensuring that acid waste is properly neutralized before being discharged into sanitary sewer systems and sent to publicly owned treatment facilities.

During the process of neutralizing the acid water, the limestone breaks down and eventually becomes spent. Typically, after two to three years, the limestone degrades to a point where it can no longer effectively neutralize materials. At this point, in order to maintain the integrity and safety of the neutralization tank, it should be recharged.
