Lock Company Saves with Arbortech
In the process of improving its waste reduction program, American Lock Company approached Arbortech to help evaluate its process and recommend an economical solution. American Lock's wastewater contained a high concentration of cutting oil, which was previously disposed of through an oil reclaimer."We needed a system that would help reduce our waste removal costs and aid in a waste reduction program," said Joe Zajac of American Lock. "We needed to treat process cleaning water that contained cutting and lubricating oils and detergents." |
UF
Helps Meet Regulatory Requirements
Ultrafiltration technology is especially good for this application. The polymeric membranes effectively separate oily emulsions from the wastewater, making it safe to discharge into the sewer, while meeting regulatory requirements. Arbortech met with American Lock, conducted a pilot, and custom-designed a system with the level of control sophistication necessary for the application. With increased volumes to be treated, the capacity of the unit was recently doubled by Arbortech's service group."With Arbortech's expertise, we now filter the oils and detergents from the wastewater enough to discharge to the local P.O.T.W., and feel confident that it meets their standards," said Zajac. "The unit works well-it's low-maintenance and trouble-free. The system upsizing was handled on-site with little interruption to our overall operations. These guys are good." |
