Fluid recycling
To foster in-depth understanding of the new WasteWizard® and MiniWizard™ industrial fluid recycling systems, Osmonics, has released an interactive CD-ROM. This resource provides information about applications of the new products, describes their mechanics and specifications, teaches users about chemical compatibility of the fluids they would like to recycle and generates cost-savings estimates. The WasteWizard Series systems were developed to purify and recycle spent industrial fluids. These systems employ a new filtration technology for recycling aqueous cleaner baths, mass-finishing compounds, mop water and other water-based industrial fluids in nearly any size metalworking and parts repair operation.
