Is Wasting Water Diluting Your Profits?

(PRWEB) July 13, 2007 -- The industrial sector is learning that reducing water usage and increasing reuse is an essential ingredient of improved productivity and higher profitability.

Today's manufacturers now realize that water conservation saves cost. Giant conglomerates like Ford Motor are focusing on aqueous cleaning (http://www.suparator.com) to not only conserve water, but also to improve process uptime, product quality, along with reducing exorbitant waste disposal and maintenance costs.

Oil-water separation technology operates on a different principle -- Bernoulli's Effect. The Bernoulli Effect is probably best known as the principle that creates the "lift" of aircraft wings. Dynamic separation uses the fluid pressure differential to enable the separation of liquids of differing specific gravities. This device, which has no moving parts, was developed by Aqueous Recovery Resources (ARR) and incorporated in its Suparator (R) systems specifically for this type of application.

This dynamic technology removes oil so effectively, that lots of dirt and other foreign matter are separated with the oil. Elimination of these contaminants results in a much cleaner process, cleaner parts, thus translating to better quality products and far less rejects.

Oil-water separation (http://www.suparator.com) also extends bath life, providing significant savings in detergents. The number of Bath changes is greatly reduced, vast quantities of water are conserved, oils are more efficiently recycled and far smaller volumes of cleaners and coolants have to be disposed of.

Ford Dearborn -- pressing for perfection

At Ford' Dearborn plant a giant, 2,600-ton Schuler press turns 700,000 pounds of steel per day into doors for the Ford F150 pickup truck. The steel blanks must be washed thoroughly to get rid of the oil and any dirt or other foreign matter prior to being stamped explains Ed Spencer, Controls Engineer at Ford's Dearborn stamping operation

"We have very tight demand," Spencer explains. "We have an assembly department downstairs that puts the inner and outer door panels together and then we ship it off to assembly. If we remain shut down because of dirt issues with the aqueous cleaning solution, we have problems: productivity loss, manpower standing around and wasted parts."

The Ford stamping operation installed a Suparator unit in 2006. In addition to meeting high Ford quality standards, which was essential, Spencer recognized that a truly effective oil-water separation (http://www.suparator.com) technology would help maximize the uptime of the critical Schuler press that had to meet extraordinarily high volume requirements.

"When we heard of the Suparator technology, I thought we should test it," Spencer continues. "And it works -- about 100 times better than the other system. We get only a small amount of water with the oil, but it is about 100 times more efficient than the other system. And the key is it takes out the fine dirt particles better than the centrifuge ever did."

"We're now realizing major savings on quality and availability," he says. Uptime is now averaging up to 95%, which is excellent for the stamping industry. We also have less wasted materials and get extended cleaner life. Obviously, that adds up to a lot."
