Pilot Anodizing Facility, Industrial Waste Streams & Circular Manufacturing Environment

What we offer to a consortium:

• Real operational anodizing facility in Kyiv Oblast as a pilot and demonstration site (TRL 6–8)

• Well-characterised rinsing water streams with known contamination profiles

• Multi-process environment: anodizing + CNC machining + 3D printing — enabling cross-process circular economy approaches

Our circular economy challenge: The anodizing process requires large volumes of rinsing water between process steps. This water accumulates contamination — dissolved aluminium ions, residual acids and alkalis — and currently cannot be reused. We are seeking a circular solution to treat and reuse rinsing water on-site, closing the water loop within our production facility and eliminating discharge costs and environmental impact.

What we are looking for: Partners with validated technologies (TRL 6+) for treatment and closed-loop reuse of metal surface treatment rinsing water, including removal of dissolved aluminium, pH balancing, and water recovery for reuse in the production process.
