Reduction of normal hexane extractable substances in wastewater treatment from 150 to 3!

At the cosmetics manufacturing factory for shampoo, body soap, and sunscreen (UV), we switched from the coagulation sedimentation method to the electrolysis method, reducing sludge volume by 70-80%!

We would like to introduce a case where we provided design, construction, and consulting for an electrolysis-based wastewater treatment facility at a cosmetics factory. Since the factory primarily manufactures shampoo, body soap, and sunscreen (UV), the wastewater contains a high level of normal hexane extractable substances. By using electric ions generated to adsorb impurities, we separate emulsified fats from the wastewater and form flocs (aggregates). By removing these from the wastewater, we can discharge the treated water into the sewer system. Previously, we used a coagulation-sedimentation method for treatment, but since switching to the electrolysis method, we have been able to reduce sludge generation by 70-80%. 【Case Overview】 ■ Facility Type: Cosmetics Factory Electrolysis-based Wastewater Treatment Facility ■ Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD): Raw Water 710 → Treated Water 370 ■ Normal Hexane Extractable Substances: Raw Water 150 → Treated Water 3 *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
