Dana Corporation
Saves Big with Arbortech
Warner Electric® Industrial Products,
a division of Dana Corporation, needed a way to extend the life
of its aqueous wash system's bath. "We were dealing with
significant user discharge fees," said Dave Waelchli of Dana.
"We needed to recycle a product that was a combination of
phosphatizer/degreaser."

Wastewater Solution
The company found a solution in
Arbortech's line of ultrafiltration systems, which utilize semipermeable
polymeric membranes. While the UF technology is not dependent
on a specific chemistry, it is particularly effective in treating
this type of wastewater. With UF, the treated water is recycled
back into the cleaning process, resulting in significant savings.
Arbortech met with the company,
evaluated their needs, conducted a pilot, and designed a customized
system. A year after final installation, the system continues
to perform smoothly.

The company's investment will be
repaid within another year, and a second pilot has just concluded.
Preliminary results were favorable, and a second Arbortech unit
has been ordered.
"Arbortech's unit has worked
very well with our current phosphatizing/degreasing chemistry,"
said Waelchli. "We have had large reductions in waste haul-off
and maintenance costs."
