Gestamp delighted
by unexpected
benefits from new
RO System
Llanelli based Gestamp, a leading designer,
developer and manufacturer of metal automotive
components, is benefitting from significant
environmental and process improvements
following a decision to invest in Reverse
Osmosis technology for its low conductivity
process water generation requirements.
As part of its Vision to promote sustainable
economic and social development, Gestamp
was primarily looking for a cleaner and cost-
effective water treatment process to replace
an ageing chemically activated ion exchange
system.
Gestamp contacted filtration specialists Axium
Process to discuss the suitability of Reverse
Osmosis for the application and after comparing
the benefits of the technology against the
ion exchange process, made the decision
to proceed with an Axium standard reverse
osmosis system. Equipment reliability, short
delivery time, technical support and service
backup were considered important elements in
the scope of supply.
“We chose an Axium RO system because
the technology is safer to operate, eliminates
bulk chemical and disposal costs and does
not present a toxic pollution hazard to the
environment. After using the Plant for a
number of months we are happy to report
unexpected benefits such as enhanced paint
finish resulting from improved water quality,
as well as less downtime because the system
requires minimal maintenance and has been
programmed to self-clean” reports Simon
White, Gestamp’s plant technician.
Designed for ease of operation and low
maintenance, Axium’s standard RO systems
primarily remove salts and particulates
from a variety of water sources providing
a reliable, stable source of high-quality
water that can be used for many industrial
and process applications. The systems are
supplied as standard with high rejection low
energy membranes, multiple sample points,
conductivity monitor, level sensors, feed
pressure switch and an inverter controlled
pump.
