Description
Draco Ltd. is specialized in design, production and sales of waterproofing, renovation, and restoration materials and also industrial floors. Most of Draco’s products are applied in housing segments, public sector, touristic sector and industry sector.
Its production process involves generation of significant volume of waste, mostly water, but consisted of some sediments. When waste is generated, it is stored with the company until appropriately managed by the outsourced company. This means closing the machines and stopping production process.
With this project, Draco is investing into a plant for technological treatment of waste water generated in the production, which will enable saving money on waste water treatment and on other resources (water, energy, gas). It will also increase Company’s production capacity.
The investment will enable introducing new, fully automated technological process, making the entire production process more efficient. The waste generated in the production will go directly into this plant, automatically separating fluid and sediment material, immediately transferring sediment to corresponding tank. The plant will also send separated fluid back to the production process. The water will then be used back in the production, as part of formulation, or for maintenance, or cleaning of machines – depending on the quality.
With this new plant in operation, Draco will be able to continue with production process without stopping it. Since waste treatment will be done inhouse, in parallel with the production process, machines will be working full time, which is why Draco’s capacity will increase, and so will its revenues.
Draco will also achieve significant savings on cost of water and water treatment, in cost of gas (no need for transportation of waste to outsourced company). Decreased production costs will make Draco’s products more attractive and competitive.
Summary of project results
Draco Ltd., a producer of waterproofing and restoration materials, generates significant waste, mainly water with some sediments. This waste is stored until it can be managed by an outsourced company, requiring the machines to be shut down and halting production during this process.
To resolve this issue, Draco invested in a fully automated wastewater treatment plant. The plant improves production efficiency by automatically separating fluid and sediment, directing the sediment to a tank and recycling the separated fluid back into production. Depending on its quality, the recycled water is reused in the production process, for formulation, or for machine maintenance and cleaning.
This investment has increased Draco''s productivity and production capacities, and enables savings of money on wastewater treatment and savings in other resources (water, energy, gas).
