WaterHog
Cut waste fluid disposal costs by up to 95 per cent
Waste coolant disposal costs have risen sharply over recent years; this is especially true when disposing of fluids, such as water-miscible cutting fluids, crack detection fluids, floor scrubber solutions and fluids from rumblers and parts washers, used in many of today's production processes. These costs will surely just increase over the forthcoming years.
There is a simple solution at hand that will reduce waste disposal cost by up to 95% that solution is WaterHog
How does it work?
WaterHog is a waste fluid evaporation system that doesn’t cost the earth and is simplicity in itself to operate and install. The system reduces waste coolant volumes to a minimum by evaporating excess water content from emulsion waste and safely returning that water to the atmosphere as steam. This leaves the residue to be disposed of in the normal way.
The commercial benefits of WaterHog are clear and immediate. For example: A WaterHog can reduce 800 litres of waste coolant at a rate of between 50–70 litres per hour, generally speaking you can budget for the process being completed overnight, taking advantage of low cost electricity, making the whole procedure even more economical.
- Reduced waste coolant costs
- Lower running costs
- A cleaner working environment
- A safe and reliable process
WaterHog Applications
TThe WaterHog can be used in a wide range of applications where you are disposing of fluids that are not toxic or flammable and with a high water content.
For example:
- Water miscible cutting fluid – coolant
- Waste from floor scrubbers
- Crack detection fluid
- Wash bath fluid
- Fabric colour processing
Simple operation
Operating WaterHog is simple: Open the lid and fill the unit; shut the lid and push the green button and leave it running overnight. The unit automatically shuts down when evaporation is complete and the residue of the oil will be in the bottom of the tank ready for removal and disposal in the normal way. Typically from an 800 litre load of coolant there will be 50 litres of residue remaining. So 94% of the original content (the water) will have been turned into steam.
The residue should be removed using a sump sucker or drained via the drain tap and the process can be repeated. It really is as simple as that.
Operating cost
The cost benefit of using a WaterHog increase exponentially (The greater the volume of waste, the greater the savings), this in turn means the payback time on is incredibly short. This is very much a mathematical calculation rather than a sales pitch and Jemtech would be happy to visit your site and provide a no obligation survey. A further advantage is that WaterHogs can be supplied on a range of flexible payment options.
The sums add up with WaterHog
A typical manufacturing company creates 68,000 litres of waste coolant per year. This in turn generates an annual waste disposal cost of £12,660.00 based on the average of 0.18p per litre, plus certification charges.
By installing a WaterHog System the total waste volume is reduced to just 3,500 litres per year, resulting in a reduction in waste disposal costs of over £10,000.00.
At these figures the WaterHog unit pays for itself inside of 12 months!
