Liquid Waste Reduction

Vacuum Distillation System
There’s a compelling need to reduce waste water discharge in most manufacturing industries. Lessening the impact on the environment and conserving our natural resources often is an imperative for a wide range of industries such as solar cells, semiconductor, pharmaceuticals and metal plating or finishing. These industries typically have wastewater that is mostly de-ionized water, with only a very small concentration of contaminants. Rather than throw away this water after a single use, environmentally conscious manufacturers find ways to reduce fresh water consumption, recycle or reuse wastewater where possible, and reduce the volume of liquids that must be discharged into a sewer or hauled away for off-site treatment and disposal. Liquid waste reduction is essential for those manufacturers compelled to operate a zero discharge system. Significant operating cost savings can be achieved through this effort by incorporating a Wastech Vacuum Distillation system. Up to 95% of the water in the waste stream can be recovered for recycling and reuse, leaving only a small fraction of concentrated waste behind for disposal or further treatment. The waste water is boiled under vacuum conditions at low temperature, which improves energy efficiency and avoids unwanted side reactions or chemical decomposition. Wastech Vacuum Distillation System can be integrated with other waste water treatment systems, such as pH neutralization and ion exchange, to provide a comprehensive program for waste reduction, recycling and zero discharge.
