KMU LOFT Cleanwater GmbH applications
In industry, a lot of water is needed and is contaminated by a wide range of pollutants in the most diverse production processes. Unfortunately, most of the industrial waste water is wasted. In order to avoid this, we are developing high-performance waste water treatment plants with the vacuum evaporator as the core element.
Industry challenge: In metal manufacturing and metal processing a wide variety of processes, e.g. metal cutting, surface processing and forming, are required to achieve a high-quality product. Water is an indispensable ingredient in many of these processes. Depending on the process, it can contain a whole variety of materials and substances. Typical types of metal industry wastewaters are emulsions (coolants and lubricants), separating agents (from aluminum die casting, autoclaving), cleaning waters, rinsing and chemical baths, electroplating and grinding waters and rinsing water from crack-test systems. Usually, wastewater from these processes is not re-used and must be disposed of. But there is a much better solution!
Industry challenge. Surface technology optimises parts and tools to meet specific requirements. Processes used in surface technology: Chemical pre-treatment of surfaces, e.g. cleaning, degreasing, etching. Mechanical surface treatment, e.g. grinding, polishing. Surface coating, e.g. painting, powder coating. Water is an essential ingredient in many of these processes, for example in pre-treatment. As a consequence, water can contain a wide variety of substances after completion of the respective processes.
Industry challenge: Energy generation, energy storage, energy use and energy transport are the main technology issues in the energy industry. This is also true for nuclear power plants. Producers want to achieve high yields of usable energy in the most efficient, economical and environmentally friendly ways. In many applications, in the production of individual components as well as in energy generation itself, water is an instrumental ingredient. In silicon processing, wastewater can contain a wide variety of substances such as acids, PEGs or fluorides. Energy production from biomass creates wastewater containing solids and organic compounds. Due to strict regulations, these types of wastewater must not be led into sewage without a prior treatment.
Industry challenge: Be it die casting or electroplating - the automotive and aerospace industries generate large amounts of wastewater in various production processes that can contain a wide range of substances.
Industry Challenge: The most common products here are plastics, pharmaceutical products, plant protection products, organic and inorganic base materials, chemicals and cosmetic products for everyday use. Ressources like water and air play an important role in chemical product manufacturing and purification processes. As a result, a vast variety of wastewater is generated, containing all kinds of residues from cleaning processes, pharmaceutical products, aqueous chemicals or dyestuffs. Legal requirements for the disposal of those types of wastewater are extremely rigid. This is a reason why these industries rather treat their wastewater than dispose of it.
Industry Challenge: The waste disposal, recycling and remediation industries produce a great variety of wastewaters. Water is an indispensable ingredient in many of these processes. Depending on the process, it can contain a whole variety of materials and substances. Typical types of metal industry wastewaters are process waters from metal recovery, metal recycling, and waste minimisation! Our evaporator technology effectively cleans process wastewaters and produces up to 98% re-usable high-quality distillate. You can re-introduce this distillate into your industrial processes for efficient re-use. KMU LOFT develops fully integrated customized plants designed to meet your individual process and process water requirements.
Industry Challenge: The wide range of production processes which have to comply to rigid hygienic guidelines characterizes these industries. Water consumption is high and the wastewaters can be very complex. They often contain all kinds of proteins, carbohydrates, fats and oils. These organic substances have a high chemical oxygen demand (COD). Evaporator technology produces a purified wastewater which can be re-introduced into the production cycle for efficient re-use and a sustainable resource management. As this purified wastewater complies with hygienic guidelines, it can also be led into the sewage system. approach offers significant economic and environmental advantages. KMU LOFT Cleanwater GmbH offers fully integrated, perfectly customized solutions for the treatment of your wastewater, including pre- and post-treatment, to exactly meet your individual economic and ecological requirements and objectives.
