Process water treatment systems

In industrial manufacturing, especially in areas such as insulation production, chemical production or the construction industry, process water filtration plays an indispensable role. IFA Technology works with customers to develop customized process water treatment solutions. These solutions protect the environment, reduce operating costs and meet legal requirements. This enables efficient and sustainable water reuse.
 

Request systems

The process water treatment plants from IFA Technology are specifically geared to the requirements of various industries. They reduce water consumption, lower operating costs and optimize the production process. The focus is on the chemical and mechanical treatment of process water. Together, both methods ensure that water can be reused without compromising the quality of the production process.

Chemical processing

In chemical treatment, water is purified by the targeted use of chemicals. This method is necessary for water contaminated with poorly soluble substances such as oils, greases, resins or acids. The aim is to bind, neutralize or remove these substances.

Chemicals efficiently remove contaminants that arise during the production process. Each system is specifically tailored to the respective production process to ensure maximum efficiency. The use of special chemicals protects against corrosion in pipes and machines. IFA Technology uses modern programmable logic controllers (PLC) to monitor and adjust the chemical treatment process.

Flocculation systems are frequently used for chemical treatment. These systems use special chemicals to bind unwanted substances in the water. This enables the treated water to be safely returned to the production process, optimizing water quality and supporting sustainable production.

Mechanical processing

Mechanical treatment is crucial for the removal of solids and suspended solids from process water. IFA Technology uses multi-stage mechanical cleaning processes that combine various technologies to achieve the highest cleaning quality.

Settling tanks with agitators separate coarse particles and solids from the water by sedimentation. Screening machines and drum filters remove fine suspended solids from the wastewater. Hydrocyclones use centrifugal force to separate the smallest particles from the water. These processes enable the purified water to be returned to the production cycle, significantly reduce water consumption and minimize environmental impact.

Each water treatment plant from IFA Technology is specifically adapted to the needs of the customer. Both the mechanical and the chemical treatment methods are aligned in their size, capacity and function with the individual production processes. In this way, IFA Technology ensures maximum efficiency and sustainable use of water resources.

The plants in the insulation materials sector achieve capacities of up to 650 m³/h. This adaptability also allows the realization of future projects with higher capacities.

  • Mineral wool wash water systems filter and clean waste water from mineral or rock wool for reuse in the production process.
  • Turnkey plants: IFA Technology also offers turnkey solutions that include planning, design, commissioning and maintenance. The plants can be operated manually or fully automatically, as required.

The process water treatment plants from IFA Technology offer fully automatic monitoring and control. Modern PLC systems continuously monitor process parameters such as pH and flow rate. Operating personnel have access to a central control room and can intervene quickly if necessary. This ensures maximum operational reliability and a smooth production process.

Environmentally and economically friendly

These systems help to ensure compliance with strict environmental regulations and to reduce operating costs. The reuse of treated water reduces the demand for fresh water and the amount of wastewater to be disposed of. This leads to significant savings in production and minimizes the company's ecological footprint. The efficiency and benefits of the systems depend heavily on the individual production conditions and the actual water consumption. The specific water consumption can be precisely determined by using the process water treatment system. This system optimizes the use of water resources.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between chemical and mechanical processing?

In chemical treatment, chemicals are used to neutralize or bind contaminants such as oils, greases or pollutants. In mechanical treatment, physical particles are removed by filtration, sedimentation or centrifugation. Users often combine both methods for optimal cleaning. One example is a flotation plant with a flocculation system. This enables effective pollutant separation using flocculation agents. Users often combine both methods for optimal cleaning.

How does industrial process water treatment reduce my operating costs?

Reusing treated water significantly reduces the consumption of fresh water. This saves on the costs of procuring fresh water and disposing of wastewater. In addition, the treatment increases the service life of the machine by reducing corrosion and deposits.

How to monitor industrial water treatment?

IFA Technology uses modern programmable logic controllers (PLC). These monitor all relevant process data in real time. The operating personnel can view the plant status via a central control room and intervene quickly if necessary.

Which industries benefit from process water filtration solutions?

Our solutions are suitable for industries such as the insulation industry, chemical industry, construction chemicals and building materials production. These industries produce specific types of wastewater that can be efficiently cleaned and reused.
