Ovivo Permeate Water Reuse
Ovivo is focused on the production of high quality water and for the sustainable, effective and reliable treatment of wastewater for industrial users. We are committed to adding value to the water used and to the water treatment processes for reuse and recycling wherever possible in order to save money and for the good of the environment.
As part of this mission, Ovivo has developed an absolute understanding of the needs of the specialist markets and industries which we serve, and in some areas we can see that our knowledge and technologies can solve other problems experienced by our clients. We assist our clients to recover precious metals and process chemical ingredients or constituents that, although at present perceived to be a problem waste, we would recover or recycle to the financial benefit of those customers.
Working closely with our customer base, we have developed many new methods and applications for product recovery and reuse. Our modern technology and development facility, in Germany, is very well equipped to design and provide pilots plants which quickly verify practical suitability on-site.
In the metal finishing sector, wastewaters are a real problem to dispose of. They also contain levels of precious metals that can be recovered for reuse in the process.
Typical product reuse is the reuse of spent acid (see acid recovery) were large amounts of chemicals needed for the process can be reused after a cleaning step. In addition, the chemicals for the waste water treatment can be saved by using a life time extension for the process solution. This means a really sustainable and environmental friendly procedure.
Different methods for life time extensions can be delivered for several process solutions.
GOEMA® THERM Cr Technology
Cleaning and recycling of chromic acid with the combination of ion exchanger and vacuum or atmospheric evaporator
Advantages :
The metals recovery systems, developed by Ovivo, can be integrated into the production process in order to treat wastewater wherever it is generated; with ion exchangers or in combination with an electrolysis system. By combining GEOMA® IONEX and electrolysis we have been able to create more value out of electrolytically pure metal.
Our standard systems for metal recovery are available in several configurations:
