AeroTek is proud to announce the installation of a new closed-loop wastewater treatment system. This installation will significantly reduce AeroTek’s carbon footprint and demonstrates AeroTek’s unwavering commitment to preserving the environment.
The closed loop system significantly reduces AeroTek’s carbon footprint through improving the efficiency of gas, water, and electricity consumption. Additional benefits include increased volumes of clean water for processing operations and significantly reduced wastewater and heavy metals PPM well below regulatory requirements.
AeroTek’s waste treatment and laboratory technicians will have access to real-time analysis of wastewater quality. Off-shift automated identification of issues through cell phone messaging ensures timely and complete coverage of water quality issues. AeroTek’s target is to reuse 90% of the waste and cooling water used in our production process. Local government and the Region of Durham are fully in support of this initiative, as the quickly growing residential area has stretched the capacity of the existing infrastructure. AeroTek will save approximately 200 households of water/year with the closed loop system.
With this new system, AeroTek continues to grow its offerings to customers without the restrictions of water treatment capacity. It also contributes significantly to AeroTek’s sustainability and carbon reduction efforts. AeroTek expects to be fully operational by the end of February 2022.
This is a significant investment in the environment, demonstrating AeroTek’s commitment to lead the way towards sustainable, environmentally friendly metal finishing processes.
