Managing Wastewater in the

Automotive Industry

Achieve compliance with fine-tuned water treatment system fitted to your facility and application

Automotive industry manufacturers across the world use our treatment processes to: 

  • Purify and deionize source water for chemical baths and rinses
  • Treat and recover wastewater for parts washing and surface preparation
  • Eliminate liquid waste discharge from electrocoating and other plating processes

Heavy Metal Removal

Kontek engineers self-protected and fitted water treatment processes that consistently produce compliant water.

  • Meet strict environmental regulations on effluent discharge
  • Remove heavy metals from wastewater streams with reliable equipment
  • Automatically reprocess non-compliant water

Automated Protection

Fined-tuned logic and safety features guarantee compliance while driving down costs.

  • Reduce operating, labor and maintenance costs with automated IntelliKon controls
  • Optimize chemical efficiency, reducing costs for consumables
  • Avoid inadvertent non-compliance, spills and accidents

Solids Dewatering

Reduce your liquid waste hauling and disposal costs with efficient solids dewatering processes.

  • Reduce slurry and sludge disposal costs by minimizing waste volume
  • Lower operating costs with efficient and automated equipment
  • Lengthen system lifespan with corrosion-resistant systems built for long-term rugged use
