Environmental impact is an important aspect when planning the installation of a new industrial enameling plant.
Depending upon the selected enameling process, industrial porcelain enameling may generate the following emissions :
- solid waste
- waste water
- gaseous emissions
Depending upon local legislation, precautions should be taken to avoid, reduce and/or treat the above mentioned emissions.
Emission avoidance
The easiest way to avoid emissions is selecting the most environmental friendly enamel process and optimize enamel application efficiency.
It is also important to size the equipment in accordance with the maximum product dimensions and targetted production volume to avoid daily spillage of energy due to underutilization.
Emission reduction
Once the enameling plant has been installed then it is usually not easy to change the enamel process.
Instead improving process efficiency and in-house recycling should help to reduce the overall emission.
Examples of waste reduction initiatives are :
- Introduction of cascade rinsing at pretreatment plants
- Recovery & recycling overspray enamels
- Switching for wet spraying to electrostatic dry powder application.

Emission treatment
Depending upon the local legislation, it may be necessary to treat unavoidable emissions.
Some examples of environmental emission treatment are :
- waste water treatment plants
- fluorine scrubbers
Energy savings
Industrial porcelain enameling projects & operations have furthermore a strong focus on saving of energy.
This aspect, which may result in optimizing the energy consumption of various equipments & re-utilization of waste heat, is driven by the global trend of continuous increasing energy cost.
