Solution
On this basis, an innovative process combination was developed with an Envopur® ultrafiltration system at its core. The new concept utilises existing tanks for buffering and pre-treatment of the ultrafiltration. The energy-efficient ultrafiltration ensures an exceptional water discharge quality. It has replaced the existing evaporator system since January 2023.
As the operating staff require a higher level of expertise to operate the ultrafiltration system, EnviroChemie experts trained the operators at ZF. The digital service platform WaterExpert™ supports system operation. The app’s integrated InformationHUB collects the data, visualises the most important KPIs and provides the required documents in a straightforward interface.
At the same time, the app assists operators in their day-to-day tasks: from sending alerts to their smartphones via push notifications and providing recommendations for action during maintenance work and inspection tours, all the way up to periodic reports. This saves time and cuts down on documentation work whilst also providing transparent visualisations of trends and overviews.
As a result, energy consumption was cut significantly as early as in the first six months.
