WASTEWATER FROM CHEMICAL PRODUCTION
Cost Savings on Wastewater at Schirm GmbH
Schirm GmbH in Wolfenbüttel, Germany, is a leading manufacturer of chemical products for industrial purposes. The company previously faced challenges in disposing of the accumulated production water and relied on external incineration to manage the wastewater.
In 2011, Schirm GmbH began collaborating with ENVOTHERM to find a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution for wastewater treatment.
Schirm GmbH Challenge
Schirm GmbH needed a solution that could treat and recycle their process water in a sustainable way. The previous system was both expensive and inefficient, and the company wanted to reduce costs associated with wastewater disposal while meeting environmental regulations.
ENVOTHERMs Solution
In 2015, Schirm GmbH chose to lease an ENVOTHERM wastewater treatment system under a three-year contract. ENVOTHERM’s technology enables the treatment and reuse of their process water, and by implementing the system, Schirm GmbH has already achieved a 35% cost saving from day one.
The wastewater treatment system is equipped with advanced sensors that monitor the system and generate alarms well in advance of any required cleaning or replacement of consumables. The system allows Schirm GmbH to monitor all parameters online via touch panels, mobile phones, or computers. ENVOTHERM’s engineers can also remotely monitor the system and respond quickly to any issues.
Schirm GmbH has chosen to extend the lease contract by an additional three years, as the solution has provided the company with a reliable and cost-effective way to manage their wastewater while maintaining a high level of environmental friendliness.
With ENVOTHERM’s solution, Schirm GmbH has achieved both cost savings and an efficient, digitally monitored system that helps promote the company’s sustainable production.
