Metalworking fluids(coolants) are very common throughout world-wide industry. The disposal of these fluids can contribute to water pollution and to solid, and sometimes hazardous, waste streams.

 

Pollution prevention for metalworking fluids or coolants should be practiced whenever possible to reduce the amount of coolants that are disposed prematurely.

Historically firms have tended to dispose of their coolants or metal working fluids as soon as they showed signs of fouling or decreased efficiency: Much of the time such disposal is not necessary: A thorough management program can indefinitely extend the life of metal working fluids and is profitable for the firm. Firms that practice pollution prevention save on the cost of new materials and on the cost of disposal for used coolant.

Technofluids integrated treatment system using the international patent technology WaterWall® can be incorporated by a business to increase effectiveness of the coolant by extending its life. In summary:

• remove substances that physically interfere with the coolant;
• remove organisms that degrade the coolant;
• remove substances that create habitats for destructive organisms; and
• initiate a coolant management system for the long term.
