Water treatment systems

The different issues related to the use of water in industrial processes and in particular in vibrofinishing applications have introduced a series of specific requirements that can only be addressed by combing technology and science.

NOVAGUM S.r.l. tackles these issues by leveraging the knowledge acquired in over forty years of experience and with the aid of a highly specialized team, a chemical research and testing laboratory and a technical department that uses ultra-advanced CAD design systems. The chemical laboratory of NOVAGUM S.r.l. carries out the necessary tests to determine the type of waste water produced by vibrofinishing processes. Laboratory results are then used to design a customized treatment plant or to select the existing purification plant that best matches the customer's needs. TECHNOLOGICAL WASTE WATER PRODUCED DURING VIBROFINISHING PROCESSES The waste (or process water) generally produced during wet vibrofinishing processes comprises the actual water used during the process, which has intrinsic characteristics and contains different substances like inorganic residuals, abrasives, metal residuals (in the form of molecules and particles), chemical pollutants (surfactants, salts, fats, soaps, etc..), organic substances, and substances resulting from other processes that become indirectly part of the cycle. These pollutants significantly influence the possibility of re-using the water as is for subsequent working cycles. This is why it is necessary to “clean or purify” the water with several methods in order to be able to re-use it as much as possible. Treated water can only be re-used for a specific amount of time that varies according to the load and type of pollutants it contains and to the method used to purify it and produce the so-called “technological water”.
