Project Idea ConceptCurrent Situation of Production at RUC-site in Kallo, Belgium
Waste streams contain large amounts of Mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT), some amines, Zn2+ and other chemicals
Complex pre-treatment in several tanks with sulfuric acid before biological waste water treatment
Some recyclable fractions can be used again, but most are burned or abolished in the biology before the waste water is passed to the river
5
Project Idea ConceptFuture Scenario: Development of robust waste water pre-processing
Membrane and/or ion exchange technology
For large scale factories and small scale pretreatment plants
Decreased amount for biological waste water treatment
Higher recycling rate of components, e.g. MBT, bromide
6
Idea Impact
Reduction of the amount of zinc having to be treated in the biological waste water treatment
currently: around 430 kg/year possible reduction to „0“
Recycling of MBT which is now burned or abolished and that could be used again in the process
raw material savings: -10%
Cost savings – reduction of costs for sending certain components to the river
Simplified Process Design in general

Existing Project Consortium
Testing and implementation
ECOSYNTH/Belgium Evaluation of the oxidation process
MIONTEC /Germany Evaluation ion exchange technology

Looking for partners…
… specialist in membrane technologies to remove selective organics from waste water
… specialist in alternative technologies to remove selective organics from waste water
… other companies having similar waste water problems
