Industrial water treatment

INDUSTRIAL
WATER TREATMENT

In the water treatment of evaporative cooling systems, we are taking a completely new approach with an innovative and sustainable approach: for the first time, we are enabling 100% substitution of biocides – as has long been envisaged in the Ordinance on Hazardous Substances – by using natural microorganisms and stabilizers for hardness through biological inhibitors based on biopolymers. We also work with P-reduced corrosion inhibitors to further improve wastewater quality for our customers.

USE OF
FUNCTIONAL MICROORGANISMS

Our Sustainable Water Innovations have a positive impact on the environment by reducing the impact on surface water quality, protecting already overused aquifers, and enhancing biodiversity and biodiversity. Our disruptive approach to product change benefits the industry multiple times: in the future, hazardous substances are no longer used but are substituted at 100%. This can reduce water consumption by up to 38% and optimize total operating costs by up to 29%. It also improves CO2 emissions.

CHALLENGES OF
INDUSTRIAL WATER SUPPLY

For decades, there have been few real innovations in the industrial water treatment of evaporative cooling few real innovations, although the industry is facing major challenges:

1. industrial economy/ water use

The industrial economy consumes around 75% of the water in Germany, with 85% of this amount being used for cooling production and energy generation plants, which is often extracted from aquifers via deep wells.

2. water pollution

To prevent cooling water contamination, 1.6 million tons of biocides are used globally every year.

3. inefficient cooling systems

Inefficient cooling systems not only emit more CO2, they also consume significantly more water than optimized and microbiologically clean systems. A biofilm thickness of just 1.4 mm on heat exchangers reduces the effectiveness of heat transfer by 50%.

HOW DO OTHERS SOLVE THE PROBLEM?

Cooling water treatment – Conventional

BIOCIDE USE = SYMPTOM TREATMENT

THE CONSEQUENCE

Excess biocides enter the into the environment and damage its biodiversity

TRANSPORTATION / CONSUMPTION

Much higher consumption of material, therefore much larger storage and transportation

LIMITATION

Biocides are used to introduce unwanted water substances are also introduced via biocides, which generally limit thickening.

HOW DO WE SOLVE THE PROBLEM

Cooling water treatment – Innovative and sustainable

MICROORGANISMS = PROBLEM SOLUTION AT THE ROOT!

 

 

THE CONSEQUENCE

Uncontaminated waste water is returned released back into the environment without without affecting biodiversity

TRANSPORTATION / CONSUMPTION

Much lower consumption of material, therefore much lower storage and transportation

LIMITATION

No introduction of additional limiting water ingredients, which increases the thickening (= water saving) can be increased.

CONCLUSION

Through the continuous addition of innovative functional microorganisms, which are taken from

taken from nature without genetic engineering adaptations, the treated cooling systems

cooling systems undergo an unprecedented natural and deeply effective cleaning process.
