Project overview

This project treats water-based solvent cleaning waste liquid from an automotive paint shop at a scale of 0.4 m³/h. It combines ultrafiltration and nanofiltration for cleaning-liquid reuse and volume reduction.

Plum’s scope of supply

Plum supplied the treatment systems described for this project, including ultrafiltration to retain paint residues, nanofiltration separation, and cleaning-liquid recovery.

Process route

Water-based solvent cleaning waste liquid → ultrafiltration to retain paint residue → nanofiltration separation → cleaning-liquid reuse and volume reduction

Ultrafiltration retains paint residue, followed by nanofiltration separation as part of the cleaning-liquid recovery process.
