SUR/FIN Presentation – “Process Rinses Recycling to Deionized Water for Surface Finishing Facilities”

By Water Innovations Admin

Steven Ward, VP of Water Innovations, will be presenting at the SUR/FIN Conference in Cleveland, OH on Wednesday, June 6, 2018. This presentation will focus on how finishing facilities are faced with increasing water scarcity & cost and stringent quality requirements. Water recycling to produce deionized (DI) water is a means to ensure a reliable supply of high-quality water that lowers operating costs & improves product quality. Established technologies include ion exchange (IX) & reverse osmosis (RO) to closed-loop recycle process rinses and RO & multimedia filtration for end-of-pipe. Proper technology selection and successful implementation require an understanding of which rinsewaters are suitable to recycle, evaluation of relative costs & advantages/disadvantages, and knowledge of associated operational & regulatory requirements, which will be addressed to provide the audience a basic understanding to make an informed decision.

Water Innovations Facility Upgrade

By Water Innovations Admin

 Water Innovations Facility Upgrade

A few facility upgrades at Water Innovations worth mentioning this quarter at our San Diego 10,000 square foot facility. As we continue to hire a growing workforce across departments, and several years of our continued investment and growth. We have invested in an Electrostatic Precipitator, to use in our in-house paint both. This is a device that removes suspended dust particles from a gas or exhaust by applying a high-voltage electrostatic charge and collecting the particles on charged plates. Electrostatic spray painting is a method that can reduce problems with uneven coverage and overspray that result from using a regular spray painter. For us it will ensure complete surface coverage on our stainless steel HFX, CIX and WDI skids for superior corrosion resistance and equipment longevity.Another area we are investing in, is an upgrade to our media blast both and change in media type. We are moving from a more traditional garnet blast media to metallic media utilizing Clemco abrasive blast equipment. High-performance blast cleaning system produces a uniform surface texture, and creates a surface profile to increase bonding for our stainless steel HFX, CIX and WDI skid polyurethane coatings. This new equipment and process also gives us added health and safety benefits to our growing staff.

About Us: Water Innovations’ CIX complete ion exchange water recycling system is an integrated skid-mounted system engineered for closed-loop recycling of metal finishing rinses. This system is designed to produce deionized (DI) water at 75 percent cost savings and provide quality water with counter-current regeneration of packed-resin beds using feed-forward grain counting, as well as feedback based on outlet water conductivity and pH. These systems are designed with a multistage feed pump, duplex carbon and bag filters, duplex cation and anion exchangers and a DI water pump.

Water Innovations offers several water treatment technologies, unique in the industry, for virtually any water quality concern. Please contact us at 760-294-1888 or sales@waterinnovations.net

Ion Exchange Systems- Estimated Operating Cost

By Water Innovations Admin

Ion Exchange Systems

This calculation is “fully-burdened” including ongoing operating costs and routine & long-term service requirements. While calculated for a 10 gpm CIX10S, it can be generally applied to all CIX systems. Based upon known CIX operating parameters and typical water & chemical costs, with 24-hour operation 26 days per month at 10 gpm flow with feed water @ 200-ppm TDS.

Labor: Assumed $12 per hour wage and a routine daily operating requirement of 1.5 hour – $468 per month

Electricity:  Assumed 460V 3Ph power @ $0.10 per KWH to operate feed & DI Water pumps – $35 per month

Bag Filters: Assumed 2X per week change out of 20-inch 5 micron filters @ $5 each – $40 per month.

Resin Replacement: Conservatively-assumed every 4 years of 5-ft3 cation @ $100/ft3 & anion @ $250/ft3, 1 man-day labor at $150, waste disposal of 2.5 drums @ $150 each; for $2,350 total or $49 per month.

Carbon Replacement: Once per year including 3-ft3 @ $250 & ½ man-day at $75 for $255 total or $27 per month.

Regeneration chemistry: Assumed 2 cation regens per day using 9.8-gal 32% HCl @ $2/gal or $19.60/Day & 3 anion regens per day using 5.1 gal 50% NaOH @ $3/gal or $15.30/day for $39.20/day or $1,019 per month

Wastewater: Assumed 1 carbon backwash/week producing 80-gallons or a total of 320-gallons per month, 3 cation regenerations per day producing 255-gallons or a total of 6,630-gallons per month, and 3 anion regenerations per day producing 285-gallons or a total of 7,410-gallons per month with a combined water/sewer cost of $6/1,000-gallons and treatment costs of $9/1,000-gallons, for a combined cost of $215 per month.

Total Operating Cost: Total estimated operating cost as detailed per above is $1,853 per month.

DI Water Cost: At 10-gpm service 24 hours-per-day/26 days-per-month, 374,400 gallons of rinsewaters would be processed each month with 14,360 gallons lost to backwash & regeneration for a total volume of DI water produced of 359,640. $1,853/359,640=$0.00515 or $5.15 per 1,000 gallons of DI water produced.

Comparison with Alternatives: While every facility is different, the assumed combined cost for wastewater treatment and water/sewer is $15 per 1,000 gallons or nearly 3X rinsewater recycling by ion exchange so for 374,400 gallons per day, the expense for conventional treatment is $5,616 per month. The expense for DI Water from Service DI is typically $50 or more per 1,000-gallons or 10X or more than on-site regenerable ion exchange for a relative monthly expense for SDI of $18,700. Another alternative is Reverse Osmosis (RO) followed by Service DI with an operating cost somewhat less than recycling by ion exchange although “back-end” RO is problematic because of the potential for membrane fouling which greatly increases its need for membrane replacement and overall operating cost.

This calculation was performed by Steven A. Ward, Vice President of Sales for Water Innovations which engineers and markets ion exchange water recycling systems.  Steven earned an MPH degree, completed his thesis examining the economics of wastewater treatment in the printed circuit board industry.  For more information please contact Sales@waterinnovations.net  or by telephone at 760.294.1888 to discuss how this estimate may differ from other applications.
