Situation
• Quality of rolling emulsions decisive for product quality and productivity in 
   rolling-reduction processes
• Need to identify and avoid emulsion contamination during the production
  process
• High disposal costs for spent emulsions/spent oil
• Unsatisfactory state of knowledge about ageing-induced changes in
  emulsion properties

BFI solutions
• Study and modelling of emulsion behaviour
• Development of emulsion maintenance concepts
• Economical de-watering of spent emulsions/spent oils in a countercurrent
  reactor
• Selection and evaluation of emulsion systems and of plant and equipment
  components for recirculation and disposal applications
• Treatment of waste water containing organic matter

Our services and facilities
• Emulsion analysis
• Study of emulsion service behaviour
• Development of processes for the separation/treatment of industrial
  emulsions in a countercurrent reactor (BFI oil concentrator for process
  demonstration and pilot use)
• Avoidance of bacterial contamination in emulsion circuits systems
