DAS Solutions for Wastewater Treatment in the Cosmetics Industry

The cosmetics industry generates highly variable wastewater, often containing surfactants, dyes, oils, and high COD. DAS Environmental Experts offers flexible, customized treatment systems that adapt to changing product lots and foam levels, providing efficient and cost-effective biological wastewater solutions.

DAS Solutions for Wastewater Treatment in the Cosmetics Industry

The cosmetics industry accrues many kinds of wastewater. The challenge for wastewater treatment is that product lots are often changing, thus changing the composition of the wastewater. Switching to a new product lot, produces large amounts of wastewater that are contaminated by surfactants, dye, oils and emulsions and high COD concentrations. In addition, wastewaters foam excessively at times. The specific loads from surfactants, dye, oils and emulsions differ significantly between product classes and lots. 

Therefore, our customized systems are flexible and can be expanded at any time. If required, they adopt to differing foam quantities in a short time. DAS Environmental Experts plans and manufactures integrated processes for biological wastewater treatment. After a detailed analysis of the specific wastewater composition our experts identify a customized concept assuring a targeted, efficient and cost sensitive treatment of your wastewater.

Effective Processes for Cost Efficient Water Recirculation

In addition to developing problem-specific wastewater concepts, DAS Environmental Experts plans and manufactures integrated processes for biological wastewater treatment. The high adaptability of our wastewater technology and systems paired with the high adaptability of the biomass enables to degrade persistent substances and surfactants at little energy input. Highly loaded stream branches are treated separately. Mechanical separation processes, such as flocculation, filtration and floatation remove first pollutants while customer-specific methods discolor the wastewater.

Treating the wastewater with DAS technology reduces cost by recycling the water, which reduces the amount of wastewater, thus saving sewage charges.

A clean solution for growing cosmetics production:

An innovative cosmetics manufacturer modernises and expands its wastewater treatment plant – reliably reducing pollutant loads despite increasing production volumes. Together with DAS Environmental Experts, a highly automated solution combining chemical-physical and biological treatment was implemented, ensuring compliance with all discharge limits even under strongly fluctuating wastewater volumes and providing capacity for future growth.
