1 Automotive plant Germany

2 Back ground - Old plant with very high production volume - Change over to demulsifying chemistry - Suparator and Q-Filter were installed and integrated with the existing equipment.

3 Old situation ZONE 1 Spray degreasing 21 m3 ZONE 2 Dip-degreasing (part.) 68m3 ZONE 3 Dip-degreasing 234 m3 Lakos Lakos Lakos Lakos Lakos Lakos Lakos Lakos Kratzbandtank Polo Filter

4 Operation (old situation) - Hydro-cyclones flushed once every hour for several minutes. - The bottom cones from baths B10 and B20 flushed once every hour for several minutes. - Medium flushed from hydro-cyclones and bath bottom cones is collected in sedimentation tanks with scraper. - Medium is further treated with membrane filtration system.

5 New situation ZONE B10 Spray degreasing - 21 m3 ZONE B20 Dip-degreasing (part.) 68m3 ZONE B30 Dip-degreasing 234 m3 Lakos Lakos Lakos Lakos Lakos Lakos Lakos Lakos Kratzbandtank Polo Filter Q-Filter QF150/003 Suparator 84/1080/xxx 6-12 m3/h Q-Filter QF150/003 Suparator 84/1080/xxx 6-12 m3/h 20 m3/h 1,5 bar 12 m3/h 3bar 20 m3/h 1,5 bar 12 m3/h 3bar 21/56L/3000 3m3/h Oil discharge Flotation tank 12 m3 21/56L/3000 3m3/h Oil discharge Flotation tank 12 m3 Filterstation Filterstation

6 Operation (new situation) - The hydro-cyclones are flushed to Q-Filter once every 10 minutes for 15 to 30 seconds. - The bottom cones from baths B10 and B20 are flushed to Q-Filter once every 10 minutes for 15 to 30 seconds. - Continuous overflow from baths to settling tank for oil separation. - Oil is removed from settling tanks with Suparator in bypass. - The effluent from Q-Filter is send back to the baths directly. - The effluent from settling tanks is sent back to baths via filter stations.

9 The dirt that s s removed The bottle contains dirt, scraped from the filter cloth, after oil was removed via extraction. On the right is a small magnet, clinging to the bottle. Clearly most of the dirt is metal dust. Magnet

10 Dirt analyses (by weight) 120,0% 100,0% 80,0% 60,0% 40,0% 20,0% 0,0% 0-25µ 25-32µ 32-71µ µ µ >200µ Differential Cumulativ Red indicates the % of each of the fractions. More than 40% is between 32 and 71µ. Blue indicates the accumulated % of the fractions, starting at the right. Removing particles > 32µ removes 95% of the dirt.

11 The particles Microscope exposures from the dirt. The coarser material (>200µ), clearly visible on the left, is mainly paint flakes and non metallic. The finer particles are metallic.

12 The Suparskim skimmer - A floating Suparskim skimmer, installed in the floatation tank. - Continuously removes the surface layer. VIDEO

13 The Suparator removing the oil Concentrated oil inside the Suparator device. The separated, pure, oil.
