Important aspects for the cleaning of process fluids
Industrial cleaning has developed a wide variety of processes to remove impurities. This leads to a more sustainable use of expensive auxiliary materials and also extends the service life enormously.
Industrial wastewater – contaminants containing oil must be removed
The separation of tramp oils must be removed by suitable means before wastewater is discharged, according to legal wastewater regulations. However, these differ in the regulations of sewage treatment plants. This is possible because, although the highest authority has issued basic regulations and laws, these leave a certain amount of leeway for regional wastewater treatment plants to decide.
Ask the wastewater company responsible for the exact regulations
Before commissioning plants that produce wastewater, the local operators should agree on the necessary precautions and technical options that are required to treat wastewater in such a way that it complies with the regulations.
