Arbortech Ultrafiltration System Cuts Hauling Costs Page: 12; July, 2001 Arbortech Corporation, award-winning manufacturer of customized ultrafiltration (UF) systems for wastewater treament and the recycling of aqueous cleaners, has just relased the story of its successful work with McCook Metals, L.L.C. "Success Story:McCook Metals" details the dramatic 95+ percent reduction in hauling costs achieved in the first year of operation, with the UF system processing wastewater generated during the casting, rolling, and processing of aluminum sheet and plate. Further financial benefit is derived as McCook thermally cracks the residual waste from the UF and gets paid for the resulting oil phase! The entire project cost has been recovered in just the first twelve months of operation, with over 1 million gallons of wastewater treated in that time. Matt Ochalski, McCook's president, says, "... fantastic performance. I'm truly impressed with what Arbortech has done for us. I'm so pleased... that I've put them in touch with...our sister locations in hopes that they can work miracles for them, too. This is how all equipment should work. This is how all companies should support their products." The accolades are in part due to Arbortech's state-of-the-art controls' design that permits them to monitor and operate McCook's UF system remotely, performing daily checks, downloading reports, running, cleaning, and maintaining the equipment at a distance of more than 50 miles from the McCook site. In business since 1981, Arbortech designs, engineers, and builds customized ultrafiltration systems and recently introduced a standardized line for recycling aqueous cleaning solutions. The company has become a success by working closely with its clients, from lab scale and pilot testing through equipment start-up and beyond.
