Waste management for vehicle production & suppliers
Vehicle manufacturing generates some of the most regulated process water in the industry: surface treatment, zinc-nickel, phosphate baths and large volumes of emulsions. Our on-site evaporation technology concentrates the flow and reduces both waste volumes and CO₂ emissions.
Why waste management is important for the automotive industry
With tightened emission requirements and increased costs for external handling, it becomes important to manage these flows efficiently. A well-functioning management facility reduces both environmental impact and operating costs while ensuring compliance.
Degreasing baths and surface treatment baths
Degreasing and surface treatment baths often give rise to process water streams with high levels of oils, metals and chemicals. These flows can disrupt or deteriorate existing streams and therefore often need to be sent for destruction.
Surface treatment emulsions
Surface treatment emulsions in the automotive industry are used to improve cleaning and corrosion protection. They often contain a complex mixture of chemicals that make them stable and difficult to separate, which means they are often handled with external destruction.
Special treatment
Zinc-nickel plating and phosphating baths are used in the automotive industry to provide corrosion protection and improve surface properties. These processes generate process water with high levels of metals and phosphates, making them difficult to treat.
Opportunity for recycling
Water recycling is becoming an increasingly important part of industrial processes. The distillate from Helios evaporation technology can be returned to production, for example in new emulsions. This reduces both the need for fresh water and CO₂ emissions.
Concentration on-site. Optimal operation.
Process water in the automotive industry comes from different process steps. Helios evaporation technology handles these flows directly on-site through a plug-and-play solution that reduces waste volumes by up to 90%.
