Case Study Surpassing Aerospace Compliance
AllWater Technologies Successfully Implements TSA Process

A specialised engineering firm in aerospace manufacturing, Aero Fabrications Ltd. sought support for its business expansion. To meet this need, AllWater Technologies designed and installed a comprehensive water treatment solution for their new Tartaric Sulphuric Anodising (TSA) line.

Case Study Overview

  • Company: Aero Fabrications
  • Industry: Specialised Engineering for Aerospace Manufacturing
  • Requirement: Support growth in aerospace business.
  • Implemented Solution: Comprehensive Water Treatment for New Tartaric Sulphuric Anodising (TSA) Line
  • Results: Supply of high purity water for process solution make-up and rinsing Effluent treatment consistently achieved compliance limits set by the local water authority

The Challenge

The aerospace industry’s gradual shift away from hexavalent chromium, due to its carcinogenic properties, and continued growth led to a requirement for Aero Fabrications to install a new TSA process line. The distinctive chemistry of TSA makes it inherently more challenging to control and maintain compared to hexavalent chrome. The interactions between Tartaric acid and Sulphuric acid demand precise monitoring and adjustment, posing operational challenges during the anodising process. Treatment of TSA waste presents many challenges due to the complexing nature of the contaminants.

The Solution

AllWater Technologies designed and implemented a tailored solution that included a Reverse Osmosis (RO) plant to meet Airbus spec A water requirements and an advanced Water Treatment Plant for the TSA line’s waste. To ensure optimal efficiency, AllWater Technologies conducted rigorous laboratory testing, and designed a robust, automated system capable of handling the complexities of TSA chemistry.

Steps Taken

  • RO Plant Design: AllWater Technologies conducted tap water analysis and RO membrane projections, to design an RO plant that would produce water meeting Airbus spec A standards.
  • TSA Waste Treatment: Laboratory tests were conducted using TSA samples to optimise the waste treatment process, ensuring the highest possible level of automation and compliance with discharge regulations.

The Result

From town’s water inlet to compliance with discharge to foul sewer, AllWater introduced a comprehensive solution to all Aero Fabrication’s water and waste water requirements. The fully operational water treatment and anodising systems now exhibit efficiency and effectiveness, whilst meeting compliance limits for external governing parties, including Boeing and Airbus.

Conclusion

The validated TSA process positions Aero Fabrications as a go-to provider for Boeing and Airbus, potentially attracting more business as the industry shifts away from hexavalent chrome. AllWater Technologies’ role in this transformative journey has ensured that their Aluminium anodising process receives a consistently high quality of pure water for rinsing and also consistently achieves compliance limits.

      Kingsley Beverages
      Turnkey Water Treatment Solution for New Can Manufacturing Facility

      When Kingsley Beverages decided to install a new can line they contracted Stolle, a global supplier of can manufacturing equipment and plants for a turnkey project in South Africa. In turn, Stolle subcontracted AllWater Technologies to conceptualise, design, create, oversee, and manage the build of the entire water treatment system.

      The Challenge

      The water treatment system required a reliable system to produce water of <10μS/cm for production and a wastewater treatment solution to consistently achieve local discharge consent limits, including low levels of Fluoride.

      Requirements:

      • RO water quality: <10 μS/cm
      • RO serviceable water rate: 8 cubic metres per hour
      • Effluent discharge rate: 10 cubic metres per hour

      Infrastructure

      • AllWater coordinated closely with Stolle to design and build the infrastructure, including providing layout design. load bearing information and suggestions for area containment.
      • The layout design included a dedicated tank farm with access gantry to reaction tank area and filter press, pure water generation area with clear delineation from wastewater treatment area, ergonomic flow path reducing the need for pumping wherever possible and ease of forklift access to powder reagent make-up system.

      Reverse Osmosis

      • To enhance water quality and increase overall system recovery, it was decided to operate two RO units in series. Twin pass RO system designed with 2 identical plants, either of which can be operated in the ‘lead’ or ‘lag’ position, or independently, offering a high-level of flexibility and operational security.
      • Operating the units in series ensured exceptionally good water quality and increased the overall recovery level of the system, providing maximum output and efficiency.

      Wastewater Treatment

      • Two reception tank system, able to accommodate day-to-day rinse water, periodic discharge of higher strength concentrates and also emergency holding capacity.
      • Two stages of reaction tanks and settlers, all joined via gravity, in order to achieve low Fluoride discharge consent limit.
      • Continuous outfall monitoring including auto-divert and retreatment for out-of-specification effluent.

      The Chemistry

      Stage 1: Lime Dosing
      • Lime is dosed into the effluent stream to facilitate the precipitation of Calcium Fluoride. This process effectively reduces Fluoride levels to a reasonably low level and neutralises the acidic nature of the effluent.
      • Lime dosing is a cost-effective process that eliminates a large amount of Fluoride from the water.
      Stage 2: Fluoride Precipitation
      • A specific Fluoride removal chemistry is introduced into the effluent within the reaction tank system. This proprietary targets Fluoride specifically, facilitating its removal from the effluent stream.
      • The addition of Fluoride removal chemistry achieves the discharge limit of <5 mg/litre Fluoride.

      Further Support

      • An installation manager from AllWater supervised on-site activities, ensuring adherence to design specifications and quality standards.
      • Commissioning engineers were dispatched to the site to commission the unit, verifying that all systems met the required performance standards.
      • Comprehensive training was provided to the local personnel, covering all aspects of the system’s operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
      • Continuous remote support is offered to address any issues that may arise and to assist with system optimisation.

      Conclusion

      The successful completion of the Kingsley can factory water treatment system highlights AllWater Technologies’ capability to deliver effective turnkey solutions. By meeting stringent water quality and effluent discharge requirements through innovative design and advanced chemistry, we ensured efficient and compliant operations. Our ongoing support and thorough training empowered the local team to maintain optimal performance. This project demonstrates our commitment to excellence and our ability to handle complex water treatment challenges for clients worldwide.

          Case Study A Smooth Transition:
          Enabling Vertik-Al's Chromium-Free Future

          Water Treatment Solutions to Overcome New REACH Prohibition of Hexavalent Chromium, Negotiate Space Constraints and Maintain Production Output

          Case Study Overview

          Vertik-Al, a leading provider of vertical and horizontal Aluminium powder coating for the architectural Aluminium industry, faced a critical challenge when European regulations (REACH) prohibited the use of Hexavalent Chromium in their pre-treatment process. To comply with regulations while maintaining consistent production efficiency, Vertik-Al needed a reliable water supply with stringent quality requirements.

          • INDUSTRY: Multi-industry Powder Coating Manufacturing
          • PROBLEM: Transition from Hexavalent Chromium to Chromium-Free Pre-Treatment
          • IMPLEMENTED SOLUTION: Water Supply with <30 μS/cm Quality

          The Problem

          The transition from a Hexavalent Chromium to a Chromium-free process required a large volume of water with a quality level below 30 μS/cm to ensure effective pre-treatment. Restrictive space at VertikAl’s facility posed significant hurdles for installing the required water treatment systems. Additionally, maintaining uninterrupted production during the transition was crucial for Vertik-Al to meet customer demands and ensure operational continuity.

          The Result

          The integrated water treatment system provided by AllWater enabled Vertik-Al to meet stringent purity standards for Chromium-free processes, ensuring compliance with REACH regulatory requirements whilst enhancing operational efficiency. Despite space constraints and existing infrastructure limitations, the seamless integration of the new water treatment system allowed Vertik-Al to maintain uninterrupted production, eliminating downtime and sustaining productivity. By leveraging AllWater’s expertise and innovative solutions, Vertik-Al successfully navigated the transition to Chromium-free manufacturing processes, demonstrating a commitment to regulatory compliance and operational excellence. 

          The Solution

          • Space Optimisation: AllWater Technologies Ltd and Vertik-Al devised a solution to optimise space utilisation. Existing bulk chemical storage tanks, including redundant units, were removed and replaced with chemical day tanks, which in turn were fed by gravity from IBCs

          • Customised Water Treatment System: AllWater coordinated with Vertik-Al to keep the existing DI plant operational whilst space was cleared for a new Duplex DI plant. Once the new plant was successfully commissioned the old plant was removed from service, refurbished, and once more recommissioned , utilising a new PLC/HMI driven control system which now encompasses all 4 ion exchange DI streams.

          • Monitoring System: Implementation of advanced monitoring technologies, including realtime monitoring of chemical usage and system performance, provided Vertik-Al with enhanced visibility and control over their water treatment processes, facilitating proactive maintenance and optimisation.

          "We have been very happy with AllWater’s professionalism and response times when we have needed help with the plant. The staff are all very helpful and knowledgeable and we are very satisfied with the service provided."
