Application limits of vacuum distillation

We cannot do everything. But what we do, we do particularly well. Our VACUDEST vacuum distillation systems are excellently suited for the treatment of a wide range of industrial waste water. For numerous process water classes, vacuum distillation is considered the best available technology (BAT) and is already helping companies worldwide to achieve wastewater-free production.

However, vacuum distillation also has its application limits. For small wastewater volumes of less than 100 cubic metres per year, disposal is usually the more cost-effective option. Without intensive pre-treatment certain chemical compounds can be treated less well. These include softeners, latex, varnishes, waxes or resins. Such compounds tend to form hardly soluble deposits in the evaporator. If it turns out in a project that such substances are present and technical difficulties are to be expected later, we will advise you on the safest and best solution - even if it is not from our company. This saves you and us valuable time. We are not interested in selling you a machine. We sell you satisfaction. The satisfaction that arises when the solution perfectly tailored to your production works exactly as it should.

One such solution can be our VACUDEST system. It stands out in many areas of application, such as surface technology, metalworking and processing industry, but also with waste disposal companies and in aviation. Particularly oil-containing industrial waste water can be treated reliably thanks to the patented Clearcat and Purecat technology. You can read here how satisfied our customer Audi is with the quality of the treated water and why they decided to use a VACUDEST system. Salt and heavy metals can also be separated very well by distillation. Due to the good treatment results, the distillate is often reused in the production process. How such a waste water free production can look like, you can see here at our customer thermofin.
