New Mecwash division brings greater focus than ever before to industrial waste water processing
A major step forward in industrial waste water disposal - from both a production process and environmental points of view - can now be gained from the creation of a new operating division of specialist component washing system manufacturer MecWash Systems . The company is focusing its activities in this area through the launch of `Aqua-Save Technologies` which will concentrate exclusively on the ongoing development and installation of the company's waste water treatment capability. Benefiting form the organisation's recent move to new premises, which has enabled MecWash to offer a highly focused service to its customers, Aqua-Save Technologies will now offer a choice of units each of which is designed to recover and re-use industrial waste water arising from wash and rinse solutions and waste coolant.

This removes the potentially high cost and inconvenience of off-site disposal and produces water than can be recycled back into an industrial process.

Concentrated oily waste, which typically represents less than 5% of original volume, is then the only material that requires environmentally safe disposal - a far more simple task than that presented by conventional alternatives.

'The Aqua-Save technology allows the recovered clean water to be returned to the wash tank or a clean container for re-use,' comments Director Paul Young.

'With ever-tightening regulations presenting increasingly vigorous challenges and with water bills set to rise significantly, these are benefits which will be immediately recognised by many in the manufacturing and engineering industries.' A range of processes and capacities can be addressed with the choice of Aqua-Save units now available from Aqua-save Technologies.

Systems can, for example, be built into a choice of MecWash aqueous based component cleaning systems or can be provided as mobile `stand-alone` units that are connected directly into an aqueous wash system.

Alternatively the organisation can develop turn-key installations which can provide treatment facilities for a wide range of process waste water solutions - from machine coolants and floor cleaning machine waste, to parts wash solutions and rinse waters from other industrial processes.

'Our aqueous-based component cleaning system technology is now very well established both in the UK and overseas,' continues Paul Young, 'and is shown every time to produce high quality cleaning results, even with highly complex parts.

However the process benefits that the technology offers cannot be separated from crucial environmental obligations which is the basis upon which we have new created the Aqua-Save Technologies division.

'We believe this represents and important step forward which will allow our customers to gain from a highly focused capability in a key area of manufacturing industry,' he concludes.
