Heavy metal removal from flue-gas scrubber wastewater
Wastewater from exhaust gas treatment in coal power stations Flue-gas or exhaust gas desulfurization systems ("scrubber systems") creat a constant stream of wastewater with high content of suspended solids, salts and heavy metals. Strict limits for heavy metals for wastewater discharge challenge coal power stations increasingly. This applies to both hard and brown coal power [...]
STAIR – Project REWARD – Water treatment in laundries
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 [...]
Container based ultrafiltration unit for drinking water filtration
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 [...]
Food industry – Elimination of starches, proteins and suspended solids
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.
Parts washing in metalworking industry
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 [...]
Sugar industry – Development of membrane applications
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 [...]
