Flotation aid

Flotation aids are chemical substances that are used in industrial wastewater treatment to optimize the flotation process. The main function of these aids is to improve the separation performance of flotation plants by facilitating the separation of undissolved substances, fats, oils and other pollutants from the wastewater. Flotation aids typically include precipitants,

Flotation sludge

Flotate sludge is a by-product/waste product that is produced as part of a flotation plant used for wastewater treatment. This physical separation method is used to remove undissolved particles and impurities from wastewater. Flotate sludge typically consists of fats, oils, suspended solids and other organic or inorganic substances that are removed by the chemical treatment of the wastewater.

Liquid hazardous waste

Liquid hazardous waste from industry poses a particular challenge as it often contains highly concentrated pollutants. This waste is generated in numerous industries and differs in terms of its composition and hazardousness. Typical examples are Chemical industry: solvents, acid residues, alkalis and reaction residues. Metal processing and electroplating: Rinsing water containing heavy metals, emulsions, oil-water mixtures.

GAK

GAC or granular activated carbon is a highly effective filter material used in water and wastewater treatment to remove organic compounds, odors and flavors as well as micropollutants such as pesticides, heavy metals and pharmaceutical residues. Technical basics Adsorption and filter effect The effect of GAC is based on adsorption, a physico-chemical process in which organic compounds are adsorbed.

Galvanization

Electroplating is an electrochemical process used to coat metal surfaces with a thin layer of another metal. The aim is to improve the properties of the base material, such as corrosion protection, hardness, conductivity or aesthetic aspects. Technical background The workpiece is immersed in an electroplating bath as a cathode,
