Automotive

In the electro-coating process for applying water-soluble paints on automobiles and other metal products, our filtration systems recover more than 99% of paint resin and pigments, dramatically improving process efficiency and reducing waste. Working closely with manufacturers to understand their processes, we have pioneered solutions for improved cost-efficiency and performance. Our ultrafiltration and nanofiltration membranes for anodic and cathodic electro-coat paint can decrease deionized water consumption, reduce wastewater, improve paint solids recovery, control paint bath conductivity and potentially limit defects.

Oily Wastewater Solutions

  • E-Coat Paint
  • Alkaline Cleaner Recover
  • Deionized (DI) Dip Rinse
  • Water & Wastewater

E-Coat Paint

Our filtration and separation solutions for electrocoat paint operations function as point-source kidney systems, producing filtrate from paint separation for coated part rinsing, optimized paint coating operations, and paint bath chemistry control, while saving paint loss and reducing wastewater treatment costs. E-Coat membrane systems operate continuously on e-coat paint baths and are essential to the overall e-coating process.

Ideal for:

  • Automotive Assembly Plants
  • Appliance Production
  • Industrial E-Coat Operations

Process Conditioning

  • KPAK® PLUS Spiral Membrane
  • ULTRA-COR™ PLUS Tubular Membrane
  • EDCore Anolyte Cells

Point-Source Kidney essential to the electrocoat process for part rinsing and bath chemistry control

Wastewater

  • KPAK® PLUS Spiral Membrane
  • ULTRA-COR™ PLUS Tubular Membrane

Reduces paint solids waste, wastewater volume, and waste treatment costs

Wastewater Reuse

  • KPAK® PLUS Spiral Membrane
  • ULTRA-COR™ PLUS Tubular Membrane

Paint bath water is recovered and used for rinsing. Significant paint loss is avoided by the use of membrane systems associated with all ecoat baths.

Alkaline Cleaner Recover

Our filtration and separation solutions for parts cleaning operations function as point-source kidney systems, maintaining pristine bath cleaning solutions by continuously removing and concentrating oils and other contaminants cleaned off the parts, that build to the point where finished part quality is compromised and high temperature baths and cleaning chemicals are dumped and lost. By recovering clear, suspended solids free, and heated cleaner filtrate for recycle, bath dumps are virtually eliminated, water, heat energy, labor, and cleaning chemicals are significantly saved, and production quality, part consistency, operations, and wastewater treatment are all improved at lower costs.

Ideal for:

  • Paint Operations
  • Metal Degreasing
  • Metalworking Finishing
  • Stamping; Plating
  • Rolling and Extrusion

Process Conditioning

  • FEG PLUS® UF Tubular Membrane
  • Ceramic MF/UF Multi-bore Membrane

Wastewater

  • FEG PLUS® UF Tubular Membrane
  • Ceramic MF/UF Multi-bore Membrane

Wastewater volume reduction, filtrate to discharge, wastewater treatment savings

Wastewater Reuse

  • FEG PLUS® UF Tubular Membrane
  • Ceramic MF/UF Multi-bore Membrane

point-source kidney for pristine bath cleaning solutions by separating out contaminants and recovering clean filtrate for recycle, eliminating bath dumps, saving water, heat energy, labor, and cleaning chemicals, for improved cleaning, part consistency, and reduced wastewater treatment.

Deionized (DI) Dip Rinse

Our filtration and separation solutions for electrocoat rinse operations function to produce filtrate from final DI Rinse e-coat tanks for water recovery and recycle, while recovering paint solids for recycle back to the paint bath. In addition, these systems reduce ion exchange water production and downstream wastewater treatment costs. DI Rinse Water membrane systems operate continuously on final electrocoat rinses and have become an important part of the overall e-coating process.

Ideal for:

  • Automotive Assembly Plants
  • Appliance Production
  • Industrial E-Coat Operations

Process Conditioning

  • KPAK® PLUS UF Sprial Membrane

Point-Source Kidney

Water & Wastewater

Our filtration and separation solutions for automotive industry wastewater treatment produce water for recovery and recycle back to the plant, or for direct discharge to drain. Depending on the technology selected, contaminants are either reduced sufficiently for discharge or significantly concentrated to substantially reduce hauling costs. Wastewaters from these industries are considered the among the toughest to treat, containing high levels of suspended solids, oil & grease, heavy metals, and COD. Our systems solve these problems by not only applying the correct membrane configuration, but by combining these specialized membranes with over 50 years of KSS system design and installation experience on these unforgiving waste streams.

Ideal for:

  • Metalworking
  • Engine Plants
  • Machining Operations
  • Stamping Operations
  • Die Cast Facilities
  • Bearing Production
  • Rolling Operations

  • SPIRAPAK™ PLUS UF Spriral Membrane
  • PURON® HF Hollow Fiber Membrane
  • PURON® MP Hollow Fiber Membrane
  • FLUID SYSTEMS® NF/RO Spiral Membrane
  • MVC Evaporator

Machining coolants, die cast waste, drawing lubricants, cleaner bath waste, plant and facility cleaning wastewater treatment for the separation of suspended solids, oil & grease, BOD and COD solids, and other non-dischargable contaminants.

Wastewater Treatment

  • PURON® MBR Hollow Fiber Membrane
