Sustainable Water Management Success Story

In an era of escalating environmental regulations, water reuse isn’t optional—it’s imperative. For a steel plant grappling with effluent violations, LEFILTER engineered a comprehensive overhaul of their water treatment systems, achieving zero liquid discharge (ZLD) compliance and slashing operational costs.

Sustainability Milestones

·         Wastewater Recycling: Upgraded systems now reclaim 95% of process water, reducing freshwater intake by 15,000 m³/month.

·         Energy Savings: Variable-frequency drives (VFDs) on pumps cut energy use by 28%, saving $900,000 annually.

·         Emission Reductions: Eliminated 2.3 tons/month of iron oxide particulates through improved filtration efficiency.

Innovation Spotlight

·         Dual Cyclone Separators: Retrofitted with ceramic-lined liners to handle abrasive slurry, increasing MTBF (mean time between failures) to 12,000 hours.

·         Automated Backwashing: Installed on 16 self-cleaning filters to optimize media cleaning cycles.

This project exemplifies how smart engineering drives both sustainability and profitability.
