Resources, emissions and operator expertise, among other factors, have the greatest influence on the decision. When selecting the optimum paint mist separation process for a particular operation, it is necessary to decide between investment and operating costs and to weigh up sustainability factors. Likewise, site-specific and operational aspects must be considered and planned for a rebuild or new construction. In addition, there are issues such as ensuring operational safety, effective and cost-efficient treatment processes, and optimal water and waste management. Given the complexity of the task, it makes sense to involve experienced industry experts with expertise in water technology to assist in the selection process.
The advantages and disadvantages of the dry separation process and the wet leaching process must be thoroughly weighed. For example, new technologies in the dry separation process can significantly reduce both water and energy consumption. In contrast, expanded logistics and increased waste disposal (up to a factor of 10) for the dry separation material must be considered.
