¿Sabías que? La remoción de aceite puede reducir los costos operativos

 

In just about every industrial process on earth, whether it’s making steel o cosméticos, food processing, minería, ferrocarriles, or construction, water plays an important role in a company’s operations.

Similarly, in most, if not all of those same industries, oil plays some kind of role. It may be lubrication oil, fuel oil, or the process itself may consume or produce oil—such as in químico plantas y refinerías de petróleo. Es probable que, en algún momento, el agua entra en contacto con el aceite.

In today’s world, the environmentally and economically conscious seek to recycle and reuse both water and oil. The very first step in any recycle or reuse process is to separate the oil from the water.What most companies don’t often realize is that removing oil from wastewater doesn’t have to be a costly endeavor. In fact, many have found using oil skimming technology to separar el aceite del agua realmente puede reducir costos.

Desnatado de aceite = Costos reducidos

Removing oil from water, whether process water or wastewater, is important for a number of reasons and can offer significant benefits such as: 

• Reducción de costos
• Generación de nuevos ingresos
• Mejorando la responsabilidad ambiental
• Proporcionando entornos de trabajo más seguros
• Mejorando las operaciones generales

Es importante remove oil as close to the point of origin as possible (donde el aceite ingresa a la corriente de aguas residuales). ¿Por qué?Removing oil before the wastewater stream “mixes” with oil-free water will greatly reduce the scope and associated costs of down-the-line wastewater treatment equipment. Oil tends to foul downstream filtration equipment, so the more the oil mixes with water, the bigger the scope of the eventual recycling task.Así, grandes oportunidades para reducir costos mediante el uso de tecnología de raspado incluir: 

• Aumentar el potencial de reutilización de agua para los procesos de producción
• Reducir el consumo total de agua prolongando la vida útil del agua de proceso y de los fluidos refrigerantes
• Prolongar la vida útil y reducir el mantenimiento del equipo de filtración de agua y refrigerante
• Reducir la cantidad de químicos necesarios para tratar agua de proceso o aguas residuales
• Reducción de costos asociados con la eliminación de aguas residuales

The two examples that follow highlight companies in the steel manufacturing and food production industries that use Brill^® Tube Type Oil Skimming Systems, and as a result, have benefited from significant operational cost savings.

Caso de Uso: Fabricante de Acero Ahorra Miles

Un fabricante de acero con un laminador de placas de 148 pulgadas y un laminador de tiras en caliente de 86 pulgadas saved approximately $400,000 per year by using an Oil Skimmers, Inc. oil removal system to recover 15,000 gallons of high-grade lubrication oil each month that was mixing with the cooling water.

Caso de Uso: Productor de Alimentos Disminuye Costos

A potato chip plant wanted to increase production by 20%, but needed a better solution for removing oil from the water that was used to wash its fryers. By installing an oil skimming system, the company was able to increase production as planned, reduce the amount of chemicals needed to treat the wastewater y reducir los costos de transporte para la remoción de lodos en un 30 por ciento.

Los skimmers de aceite demuestran su valor

Regardless of the industry, oil skimmers have proven their worth when it comes to removing oil from wastewater in a variety of demanding applications.Designed to improve overall operations while reducing costs, increasing revenue, aiding with environmental compliance and helping provide a safer work environment, a quality desnatador de aceite tipo tubo offers continuous operation for an efficient, cost effective oil removal process.
