  Water-reclamation principles—before you spend a fortune on complicated and oversized equipment, first make sure that your wash processes meet the highest efficiency standards in the market: the Christeyns standards. After determining this, capital investment might be the next option (the ROI will still be decisive), for which Christeyns practices the Pareto principle with 20% of the investment achieving 80% of the results. Common sense and the KISS principle (meaning here ‘Keep it simple and smart’) can improve your bottom line more than anything else. It is definitely worthwhile to have this discussion: info.usa@christeyns.com or 617.203.2169.

  Kemco Systems Co. LLC

  727-573-2323

  Full Profile

  Since 1969, Kemco has provided wastewater heat-reclamation systems to the laundry industry. The Kemco heat reclaimer preheats incoming fresh water by transferring the heat from wastewater as it leaves the facility or goes on to further treatment. This can effectively preheat water within 5° to 10°F of the wastewater stream; which means that if the incoming fresh water is approximately 60°F, then the recovery could be up to 60% of the original energy expended for water heating, meeting regulatory compliance for wastewater-discharge temperature and recovering otherwise wasted energy. This will deliver a return on investment from 12 to 24 months.

  Full Profile

  Before spending a fortune in equipment, Christeyns ascertains that an operator is using the most lean and mean wash formulas in the market. Only then can capital investment be the next step (if ROI is still worthwhile), for which Christeyns practices the Pareto principle where 20% of the investment achieves 80% of the results. From the operators’ perspective, this is the best approach: first reduce the fresh water volume significantly by implementing smart wash formulas; then review all equipment options considering Christeyns’ advice that ‘simple is often better.’ Contact Christeyns at info.usa@christeyns.com or 617.203.2169.

  Ellis Corp.

  Full Profile

  Unfortunately, there has yet to be a truly innovative membrane technology capable of treating wastewater to a point of complete reusability. This has all changed with the recent introduction of the Ellis Rotational Turbidity Membrane, also known as Nautilus. The revolutionary Nautilus system utilizes a combination of interlocking disc membranes. As the system continuously filters wastewater, the rotation of the discs creates a scouring effect on the membrane surface. This scouring prevents fouling agents such as FOG (fats, oils and greases), silica, high solids, etc., from coating the surface and causing inevitable failure. Furthermore, the variable frequency drive (VFD) of discs will increase and decrease speed of the membranes allowing for continuous “self-cleaning.” For more information, visit www.elliswastewater.com.

  Full Profile

  The Ludell Waste Water Heat Recovery System is the most efficient way to maximize and reuse heat in any industrial facility. Through a unique, continuous, stainless steel shell-and-tube design, this system reduces the fuel consumption and steam required to generate hot water by recovering heat from wastewater and transferring it to incoming clean water to a hot water system. Lint, string and other waste materials can safely pass through the system utilizing a nonclogging diaphragm-type throttling valve, while a four-way reversing back flush valve automatically reverses wastewater flow to clean the system and keep it working at maximum performance.
