Company Overview
Beta, established in 1980 by founder Bryan Cullivan, is a long-standing innovator in advanced acid recovery and industrial wastewater treatment systems. With over four decades of experience, the company has grown from a backyard shed operation to a global network, consistently pushing the boundaries of environmental technology. Beta's mission centers on delivering high-ROI solutions that enhance operational efficiency, reduce disposal costs, and contribute to environmental sustainability.
Advanced Acid Recovery Solutions
Beta specializes in the recovery of various acids, including Hydrochloric (HCl) and Sulfuric (H2SO4), for diverse industrial applications, particularly in mining and metal pickling. Their HCl recovery systems utilize vacuum evaporation to effectively remove heavy metals and impurities, ensuring a clean acid supply for high-speed pickling processes, capable of purifying up to 10,000 gallons of flux daily and maintaining iron concentrations below 0.5 percent. System capacities range from mid-size (5-10 metric tonnes per day) to large-scale (up to 150 tons per day).
For Sulfuric Acid recovery, Beta's systems employ a chilling process to precipitate impurities as ferrous sulfate crystals, which are then separated via centrifuge. This method significantly reduces energy consumption while returning high-purity acid to the process. Beta's 'Waste to Value Circularity' approach extends to recovering hydrochloric, sulfuric, oxalic, phosphoric acids, and mixtures, removing a wide array of contaminants such as iron, zinc, copper, nickel, lead, and others.
Comprehensive Waste Treatment
Beyond acid recovery, Beta offers robust solutions for flux recovery and general wastewater treatment. Their crossflow microfiltration systems efficiently remove suspended solids from water or flux tanks, converting soluble ions into insoluble solids using peroxide. These systems are applicable for wastewater treatment, flux tank recovery, cooling tower treatment, and oil removal, with capacities up to 1,000 gallons per hour. Beta also designs custom-engineered pH Neutralization systems, which precisely adjust the pH of acidic waste streams containing solids using caustic NaOH, often incorporating polymer blending, lamella settlers, and filter presses for sludge dewatering.
Key Differentiators
Beta's commitment to innovation and customer support is evident in its offerings. All systems are custom-engineered to fit specific operational needs and space constraints, with 3D models generated for real-world integration. Proprietary software allows for remote monitoring and automated control, while a dedicated team of experienced engineers provides direct support and troubleshooting. The company boasts a proven track record of delivering significant ROI, often within two years. Furthermore, Beta emphasizes environmental responsibility, utilizing corrosion-resistant materials like FRP/GRP tanks and offering performance and accuracy guarantees, solidifying its position as a trusted leader in environmental technology since 1980.
