Challenge
Bendec was looking for a solution in line with the Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) principle, in order to fully reuse rinse and process water and completely rule out the discharge of liquid wastewater.
Approach
Chosen Water Treatment
Selected Technologies
Result
For Bendec Overpelt, specialist in aluminium surface treatment, Eco-Vision delivered a forward-looking Zero-Liquid Discharge solution. By reusing rinse water via ion exchangers and evaporating residual water with a vacuum evaporator on a heat pump, we close the water cycle completely.
With this installation, Bendec achieves impressive results:
11,000 m³ water saving per year
Twenty-two thousand euros of cost savings on an annual basis
No liquid discharge any more, fully circular
A mobile, closed system that removes discharge problems and at the same time delivers sustainable and economic returns.
Eco-Vision makes ZLD feasible and affordable.

Eurocircuits
Smart wastewater management in the PCB sector
Thanks to a combination of physico-chemical treatment and advanced ion exchangers, Eurocircuits reuses 60,000 m³ of water each year and reduces the copper content to below 0.05 ppm. Result: official authorisation to discharge to surface water and an annual saving of €110,000.

Datwyler
Closed water loop in the medical industry
At Datwyler, the rinse water from rubber components has been fully reused since 2018 via a reverse osmosis installation in closed loop. The result: 33,600 m³ less water consumption and €85,000 saving per year. Circular, pure and efficient.
