Environmentally Sound Solutions Testimonials

By implementing advanced electrotechnologies, you can optimize your industrial processes and sharpen your competitive edge.

But that's not all! You'll also be helping to reduce atmospheric emissions and benefit from efficient solutions for treating certain types of industrial waste and recovering heat.

Our Electrotechnology Implementation Support (EIS) experts will be glad to go over the various cutting-edge technologies you can use to improve your waste treatment processes and thus contribute to environmental protection.

Main applications and potential benefits

Electrotechnologies Benefits
  • Heat pump
  • Highly efficient: coefficient of performance (COP) ranging between 3 and 5
  • 1 kWh of electricity can produce the equivalent of 3 to 5 kWh of thermal energy.
  • Induction screw
  • Highly efficient, compact equipment
  • High speed
Electrotechnologies Benefits
  • Membrane filtration, everse osmosis, nanofiltration and ultrafiltration
  • Suitable for concentration applications
    (e.g., metal salts)
  • High energy efficiency
  • Compact, modular equipment
  • Electrodialysis and electrolysis
  • Suitable for reclamation
    applications (e.g., spent acids)
  • Easy to control
Electrotechnologies Benefits
  • Plasma torch
  • Decomposes hard-to-destroy wastes
  • High-temperature melting (over 1500°C)
  • Suitable for controlled-atmosphere treatment
  • Compact equipment
Electrotechnologies Benefits
  • Mechanical vapor compression (MVC)
  • Highly efficient: COP ranging from 5 to 80
  • 1 kWh of electricity can produce the equivalent of 5 to 80 kWh of thermal energy.
