Effective use of water in production:
• Process and cleaning baths
• Surface finishing
• Cooling lubricants and rolling emulsions
• Cooling water, heating steam

Cycle completion and disposal:
• Water and recoverable materials cycles
• Waste water treatment (mechanical, chemical, biological)
• Treatment and recycling of residual products (sludge, spent oil)

Our services:
• Process development
• On-site analyses with mobile laboratory and service vehicles
• Extensive testing facilities (customer technical centre for water, chemical,
  membrane testing)
• Mobile demonstration apparatus (long-term testing, remote monitoring)
• Extensive water-related expertise
• Laboratories for water, emulsion and solids analysis
