Only the 5% oily waste needs disposing

Waste water: recover, re-use and save
July 27th 2006

A major step forward in industrial waste water disposal – from both a production process and environmental points of view – can now be gained from the creation of a new operating division of specialist component washing system manufacturer MecWash Systems. The company is focusing its activities in this area through the launch of ‘Aqua-Save Technologies’.

The Aqua-Save technology allows the recovered clean water to be returned to the wash tank or a clean container for re-use

Aqua-Save Technologies offer a choice of units each of which is designed to recover and re-use industrial waste water arising from wash and rinse solutions and waste coolant. This removes the potentially high cost and inconvenience of off-site disposal and produces water than can be recycled back into an industrial process. Concentrated oily waste, which typically represents less than 5% of original volume, is then the only material that requires environmentally safe disposal – a far more simple task than that presented by conventional alternatives.

“The Aqua-Save technology allows the recovered clean water to be returned to the wash tank or a clean container for re-use,” comments director Paul Young. “With ever-tightening regulations presenting increasingly vigorous challenges and with water bills set to rise significantly, these are benefits which will be immediately recognised by many in the manufacturing and engineering industries.”

Systems can, for example, be built into a choice of MecWash aqueous based component cleaning systems or can be provided as mobile ‘stand-alone’ units that are connected directly into an aqueous wash system. Alternatively the organisation can develop turn-key installations which can provide treatment facilities for a wide range of process waste water solutions – from machine coolants and floor cleaning machine waste, to parts wash solutions and rinse waters from other industrial processes.

“We believe this represents and important step forward which will allow our customers to gain from a highly focused capability in a key area of manufacturing industry,” concludes Paul Young.
