Wastewater treatment in metalworking and processing
Recycle cooling lubricants – reduce disposal costs
Machining processes generate large quantities of used cooling lubricant emulsions and oil-containing process water. Disposing of these is not only expensive, but also poses an ecological challenge. With atmospheric evaporator solutions , you can reduce the amount of wastewater to be disposed of by up to 95% and lower your disposal costs by the same amount. Our complete systems offer a compact, reliable, and economical solution—tailored to the requirements of your manufacturing operation.
Reliable. Flexible. Safe to operate.
In addition to the actual distillation process, depending on the composition of the wastewater, a mechanical pretreatment can be integrated—for example, to separate chips and sludge . The purified distillate is clear, oil-free, and can be used for the preparation of cooling lubricants or for parts cleaning.
Depending on the composition of the wastewater, we combine evaporation with:
- pH adjustment
- Filtration via bag filters or belt filters
- Oil separation
- Downstream light phase separator
- Discharge monitoring (e.g., pH, temperature)
This gives you a stable, low-maintenance system with a high degree of automation—designed for continuous operation in an industrial environment.
