Our guidebook on the subject of "wastewater-free production".

How much of the world's water pollution is caused by industry? A very considerable amount. Industry accounts for about 20 per cent of the fresh water withdrawn worldwide. This water is used in production and becomes polluted.

Traditionally, electroplating processes are used to apply functional or decorative metal coatings to steel or iron surfaces. More recent developments are now also leading to an increasing demand for plastic electroplating, which uses plastic as the substrate for the metal coating.

The cleaner the rinse water, the better the pre-treatment. For the high-quality treatment of rinse water from a wide range of industrial productions, vacuum distillation has established itself as one of the most economical and sustainable methods. In case of H2O this also includes solutions for very high quality requirements and strict COD limits.

We cannot do everything. But what we do, we do particularly well. Our VACUDEST vacuum distillation systems are excellently suited for the treatment of a wide range of industrial waste water. For numerous process water classes, vacuum distillation is considered the best available technology (BAT) and is already helping companies worldwide to achieve wastewater-free production. However, vacuum distillation also has its application limits. 

In the current crisis, every cent saved is worth its weight in gold for companies. The pandemic, with its high fixed costs, is hitting the aviation industry particularly hard. Leading aviation companies are already saving not just a few cents, but a quarter of a million euros through sustainable wastewater treatment with VACUDEST. Interested parties can find out exactly how this works in this article.
