The second conference in the G‐STIC series was convened from 28 to 30th November 2018 in Brussels, Belgium. Over 1400 participants, representing policymakers, technology researchers, business and industry captains, and civil society attended the meeting.
SUSTEC, was invited from Solar Impuls Foundation to present our REGMAX(R) solution in the related exhibition and to participate in pitching sessions.
The regeneration of hydrochloric acid in stainless steel pickling poses a major challenge due to the high concentration of ferric chloride (FeCl3), complicating conventional recovery methods. SUSTEC’s REGMAX-CL technology offers an efficient solution, fully recovering hydrochloric acid while reducing environmental impact.
Passivation with nitric acid is crucial in stainless steel production. It enhances corrosion resistance by forming a protective chromium oxide layer. The traditional disposal of used nitric acid presents environmental challenges due to the generation of nitrates in wastewater and toxic sludge containing heavy metals. SUSTEC's innovative solution addresses these issues head on by recovering and recycling the used passivation acid. This advancement not only reduces environmental pollution but also promotes sustainable practices within the stainless-steel industry. By balancing industrial needs with ecological responsibility, we can ensure the reliability and durability of stainless-steel components while protecting environmental health.
