DAF Westerlo – From 750 m³ of wastewater to only 12 m³ per year
Sector
Types of water
Challenge
DAF Westerlo wanted to make its rinsing process more sustainable and optimise it by using demineralised water after degreasing-phosphating and at the same time drastically reduce the wastewater stream. The solution had to meet the quality standards of the Central Laboratory and contribute to operational reliability and efficiency.
Approach
Chosen Water Treatment
Result
Minimal waste stream, maximum control and top quality.
hanks to Eco-Vision’s integrated solution, the wastewater stream at DAF Westerlo was reduced from 750 m³ to only 10 to 12 m³ per year – an impressive ecological saving. At the same time, the water quality was significantly improved, to the level that even after two months of production the water remains crystal clear and fully meets the internal laboratory requirements.
The combination of a mobile demineralisation unit and a vacuum evaporator not only delivers purified process water, but also provides a much safer, simpler and more maintenance-friendly regeneration process. Thanks to real-time monitoring of conductivity and pH, deviations can be proactively corrected, which leads to a more stable process and less downtime.
The result is an energy-efficient, circular and user-friendly installation that significantly reduces both environmental impact and operating costs. A sustainable and future-oriented investment that perfectly combines production efficiency and ecology.

Other cases
Bendec
Zero Liquid Discharge in aluminium treatment
For Bendec, Eco-Vision realised a mobile closed water circuit, reusing rinse water via ion exchangers and evaporating residual water with a vacuum evaporator on heat pump. Result: 11,000 m³ water savings, €22,000 annual savings and no more liquid discharge. 100% circular water management is now a reality.

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.
