Our success case

Customer needs

•  Purification of toxic gases emitted, in order to reduce the concentrations of
  the chemical substances that are mostly contained by chloroparaffins.

• Reduce the high estimated costs of € 1,200,000 / year, of the current conventional system for gas purification, based on filters and chemical neutralization processes.

• Eliminate the risk of proliferation of dangerous emanations for the neighboring population.

The solution

The solution consisted in replacing the toxic gas purification train with a gas flushing system, combined with an AMAPEX biological solution that allows to eliminate the polluting toxic gases and significantly reduce the high costs of the previously used cleaning system. Gas cleaning is carried out by passing through a cold plate chamber that
condenses the vapors on a circulating water tank.

Once the gases are liquefied, dissolved or dispersed in water, it is treated. The system consists in applying a solution that contains a mixture of bacteria and nutrients specifically designed for each client. The bacteria are activated very quickly and efficiently, metabolizing the pollutants presents in the water.

For the multiplication of bacteria, an intelligent unit has been designed that, reading the parameters of the waters to be treated, activates the biological mixture to provide it with optimized activity

Applications

This AMAPEX solution can be successfully applied in any manufacturing plant for elastomers, technical rubbers or alike that emit toxic pollutant gases to the exterior

Necesidad del cliente

• Depuración de los gases tóxicos emitidos al exterior, con la finalidad de reducir las concentraciones de las sustancias químicas contenidas en su mayoría por cloroparafinas.

• Reducir los altos costes estimados en 1.200.000 €/año, del sistema convencional actual para la depuración de los gases, basado en filtros y procesos de neutralización química.

• Eliminar el riesgo de proliferación de emanaciones peligrosas para la población colindante.

La solución

La solución consistió en sustituir el tren de depuración de gases tóxicos por un sistema de lavado de gases, combinado con una solución biológica AMAPEX que permite eliminar los gases tóxicos contaminantes y reducir significativamente los elevados costes del sistema de limpieza anteriormente utilizado.

El lavado de gases se efectúa mediante su paso por una cámara de placas frías que condensan los vapores sobre un depósito de agua en circulación.

Una vez que los gases son licuados, disueltos o dispersados en agua, se procede al tratamiento de la misma.

El sistema consiste en aplicar una solución que contiene una mezcla de bacterias y nutrientes diseñada expresamente para cada cliente. Las bacterias se activan de manera muy rápida y eficaz, metabolizando los contaminantes presentes en el agua.

Para la multiplicación de las bacterias se ha diseñado una unidad inteligente que, leyendo los parámetros de las aguas a tratar, activa la mezcla biológica para dotarle de una actividad optimizada.

Aplicaciones

Esta solución AMAPEX puede aplicarse con éxito en cualquier planta de fabricación de elastómeros, gomas técnicas o similares que emitan gases contaminantes tóxicos al exterior.

Customer need

•  Industrial wastewater treatment as a product of the industrial dry-cleaning process, in which there are produced
  150m3/ day of wastewater.

• Elimination of high load of pollutants presents in industrial waters, which contain a significant amount of oils and fats from the use of textile dyes, in addition to other chemical elements from the fixing and dyeing process.

• Discoloration of wastewater heavily contaminated by dyes used in dyeing.

• Reduction in the consumption of public network water used in the production process.

•  Reduction of materials and subsequent filtering techniques.

•  Reduction of the corresponding sanitation fee due to discharge to the public network.

The solution

The Amapex solution tailored designed for the existing wastewater treatment system, simplifies the process of
purifying wastewater. The system consists of treating the wastewater with a solution that contains a mixture of bacteria and nutrients specifically designed for each client. The bacteria reproduce very quickly, acting effectively in removing the contaminating compounds presents in the treated water.

For the activation of the bacteria, an intelligent unit has been designed that, reading the parameters of the water to be treated, activates the biological mixture to provide it with optimized activity.

The use of the system, in addition to greater efficiency in removing the load of contaminants, saves the client the use of complementary techniques such as carbon filters, ozonation and others, which are expensive and needs frequent
replacement.

Applications

This AMAPEX solution is specific for the treatment of residual waters in the
textile industry, which can be successfully applied in industrial dry cleaners, textile finishes and purification stations for tanning processes.

Customer need

•  Purification of industrial wastewater as a product of the manufacture of fertilizers, insecticides and pesticides.

•  Elimination of high load of organochlorine contaminants present in wastewater, especially Lindane (> 7900 ngl), highly toxic and very difficult to eliminate.

• Reduce the cost of the conventional method of water purification that costs more than € 150 / m3.

The solution

AMAPEX solution allows reducing the Lindane content of purified water, with a significant cost reduction compared to
traditional wastewater treatment systems. The solution is to treat the contaminated water by passing it through retention tanks, applying a solution that contains a mixture of bacteria and nutrients, specifically designed for each client.

The bacteria are activated very quicklyand efficiently, metabolizing especially the organochlorine compounds present in the water.

For the multiplication of bacteria, an intelligent unit has been designed that, reading the parameters of the waters to be treated, activates the biological mixture to provide it with optimized activity.

Applications

This AMAPEX solution is specific for the treatment of wastewater in the chemical
industry, which can also be successfully applied in the plastics, styrene industry and, in general, in all industries derived
from the petrochemical sector with high production of effluent wastewater chlorinated.

Customer needs

•  Purification of industrial wastewater as a product of leather tanning.
• Elimination of high loads of pollutants, made up of liquid chemical residues
  that contain ammonia, dyes and mineral salts.
• Elimination of organic solid residues of animal origin, which contain fats, remains of fur and hair.
• It involves combined physical, chemical and biological water treatmentDepuración de aguas residuales industriales como producto del curtido de pieles.

The solution

Tailor-made AMAPEX solution in the current effluent purification process that allows obtaining similar results in reducing the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Ammonium (NH4 +) of the purified waters, with a significant cost
reduction compared to traditional wastewater treatment systems.

Depending on the applied process and the client’s needs, the AMAPEX System can be proposed as an alternative to
the current debugging system or as a complement to it.

In this specific case, the results correspond to the total substitution and it is essentially a matter of introducing a
mixture of bacteria and trace elements into the purification ponds.

These bacteria and trace elements have been previously activated in an intelligent reactor, designed by Amapex.
The results in terms of contamination parameters are better than with the conventional system, after 3 days of
treatment and with a cost of less than 50% of the current cost.

Each case must be studied in detail, due to the great variability of water treatment carried out in tanneries, depending on leather type and use

Applications

This AMAPEX solution is specific for the treatment of wastewater in tanneries, which can also be successfully applied in treatment plants for collecting water from various leather treatments.
