Joint project of German project partners with the lead partner Karlsruhe Institute of Technology KIT. Research objective: Development of a sustainable recycling process for water and detergent components for commercial laundries. As part of the REWARD research project, since the beginning of 2017 first trials are made at the facilities of our project partner [...]
Design of a compact and easy to install filtration unit In drinking water treatment the importance of utrafiltration is increasing constantly both for ground water and for surface water (river, lake) treatment. Likewise, in pretreatment of sea water prior to sea water desalination systems (e.g. reverse osmosis) ultrafiltration is becoming very popular. Atec develops a [...]
Atec applied successfully its nanofiltration units in first tests for the treatment of waste water with high content of starch. The aim of the filtration is the reuse of the treated water in the production process in order to save water and waste water costs.
Current project: Carbide tool manufacturer - Austria Task: Parts washing bath for cleaning of molybdenum and tungsten alloy. The washing bath contains a cleaning agent and removes cooling lubricant and metal particles from the parts to be cleaned. Impurities and dirt particles accumulate in the wash water and lead to a short lifetime of the [...]
Atec cooperates with a well-known filtration membrane manufacturer in order to develop new fields of application of membrane technology in sugar cane and sugar beet processing as well as in sugar refining. There are several possible uses for micro-, ultra- and nanofiltration membranes in that industry. Potential benefits: Reduction of operating costs Higher sugar yield [...]
Current project: Ceramic production and processing - Germany Task: Waste water from grinding of ceramics. Water is not suitable for reuse and therefore has to be disposed as waste water. Solution: Atec Miditube ultrafiltration cleans aprox. 1 m³ waste water per hour and allows the waste water to be reused in the grinding process. Therefore [...]
Atec micro, ultra and nanofiltration units are very suitable for applications in the food and beverage industry. Both in process and in waste water treatment filtration by Atec reduces operating and waste water disposal costs and provides our customers compliance with waste water discharge limits. Due to inovations in the field of ceramic membranes new [...]
Project duration: 01.03.2014 - 28.02.2016 In recent years increasing amounts of micropollutans such as Bisphenol A or S (BPA , BPS) from industrial effluents or drug residues (antibiotics, hormones, analgesics, disinfectants, etc.) have been found in surface waters and ground waters . They have a noticeable negative impact on the environment: e.g. development of [...]
Project duration: 01.07.2013 - 30.06.2015 The aim of this recent method is the purification and regeneration of process waters for cost-effective multiple use of these fluids in the production process. Depending on the industrial branch there are different separation tasks. For example in metal processing plants oil is to be separated from the working [...]
