Arbortech
Helps OMC Waukegan Reduce Waste
OMC Waukegan, a division of Outboard Marine Corporation, wanted to reduce its weekly disposal of 5,000 gallons of waste soap solution. This waste was generated by the pressurized power washing of its aluminum die casting machinery and equipment.The "soap and water" cleaning solution is heated and sprayed on manufacturing equipment. The combination of oils and soils with the cleaning solution creates a special non-hazardous waste. |
UF
Technology Easy to Use and Operate
OMC Waukegan investigated various methods and technologies to reduce the volume of waste soap disposal, and ultimately settled on ultrafiltration, purchasing a system that was installed in July 1996. |

"UF was selected because it has the lowest capital and operating costs, and requires the least amount of operator assistance," said Anthony Montemurro of OMC Waukegan. "With this technology, we are able to circulate the bulk of the treated liquid back into our process."The company's purchase of the Arbortech system led to dramatically lower waste disposal statistics. While waste disposal had been more than 300,000 gallons in 1995, the company predicts it will be lowered to just over 50,000 gallons. |

"We had every confidence that Arbortech UF equipment would solve the problem and we were right." |
