Graham Fraser , Managing Director at Fraser Technologies explains :
“ We have a ‘ customer first ’ philosophy ; focusing on long term partnerships to achieve sustainable , cost-effective , environmentally sound solutions , which meet customer needs . Our overall aim is to be the go to experts for precision cleaning due to our honesty , integrity and passion for finding the best solution for our customers .”
A recent example of this is a project undertaken with a prominent aerospace manufacturer customer , looking for an alternative to the high Global Warming Potential ( GWP ) solvent they were using . Previously , the customer was using 7 Metric Tonnes of solvent per year , so Fraser Technologies worked with them to approve Opteon™ SF80 by Chemours , a specialty fluid designed to meet the high specifications and demands of the industrial cleaning market . It is a safe , non-flammable , and environmentally friendly solvent with an ultra-low GWP .
The team assisted in optimising the customer ’ s processes to reduce solvent consumption and introduced a solvent recovery process to allow them to further reduce waste and reuse the recovered solvent . This cut the customer ’ s overall usage of solvent by 28 %.
While the former product was less expensive than SF80 , the reduction in solvent usage resulted in a cost reduction of around £ 30,000 per year , as well as a significant reduction in CO2 equivalent emissions .
