Hundreds of liters of untreated contaminated water

A manufacturer of electric sub-stations needs to spray a surface coating and layer of paint on concrete islands during the fabrication process. The tools are cleaned after each application which generates 200 to 300 L of contaminated water per week! These wash waters are then collected in a IBC container, where they are stored, and then transported to the treatment plants for destruction. These logistical processes cause high costs in addition to presenting real ecological risks.

A wastewater treatment solution adapted to the specific needs of our client

In the absence of effective management of contaminated water, the customer increases economical costs and environmental risks and through storage and transport. Our client is determined to finding an efficient and sustainable solution.

We installed an SW100 wastewater treatment and recycling station, with a flow of 100 L/h. The SW100 offers the smallest capacity available and features a semi-automatic operation. Thanks to its electric control panel, it has the advantage of being easy to use and intuitive. The station also includes a wastewater storage tank capacity of 500 L as well as a clear water storage tank capacity of 500 L, equipped with a booster and a series of filters.
 
Our client is now able to manage autonomously its wastewater, which in turn facilitates its industrial operations and avoids environmental damage.

An autonomous process and high-performance equipment

Wastewater is collected in a tank and carried near the treatment station. An immersed stainless-steel pump transfers the wastewater to a storage tank on the spot. This tank is equipped with an agitator that prevents the settling of suspended particles. The wastewater is then sent to the reactor of the station for treatment.

The resulting clean water is transferred to the clear water tank which is equipped with a blower and anti-bacterial filters towards the washing workstation. 

This treatment is continuous and in closed circuit. When the level of water in circulation reaches a minimum threshold due to evaporation, an inflow of city water supply is added automatically.

Clean and recycled water can now be used for the cleaning of the equipment or be rejected with confidence directly to the water line!
