CASE STUDY
2023Washing cabin upgrading for the railway sector
Impact
From sandblasting to washing
The wash cabin built in the plant was originally created as a sandblasting cabin for finishing railroad industry components. Now obsolete, the sandblasting cabin was converted to new use through a complete revamp: the original masonry structure was retained and covered with watertight insulated panels, and the underground foundation area was revised and brought up to today’s standards.
Liquid recovery system
“Chutes” were made from scratch, placed under the grated flooring of the washing booth, to allow degreasing and rinsing effluent liquids to drain quickly into the recovery pit. In this way, the liquids collected in the pit are fed back into the relevant recovery tank and made immediately available to be reused in a continuous cycle. This solution, supplemented by a 3-stage skid, allows each flushing liquid to be recovered separately and filtered of impurities in order to store the liquids or reuse them in a continuous cycle.
This recovery mode ensures that no discharge ends up in the sewer, a great benefit to the environment and a reduction in management and disposal costs.
