Company Overview

Ecochimica, established in the 1970s with over 40 years of experience, specializes in environmental solutions for the foundry industry. The company designs, manufactures, and maintains customized air treatment plants worldwide, serving major foundry companies. Services include installation, assistance, and scheduled maintenance for both Ecochimica and third-party plants.

Core Technology: Venturi Quencher VQC-hi®

The VQC-hi® is a high-efficiency system designed for the treatment of oil vapours generated in die-casting foundries. Its primary goal is to convert oil vapours from the vapor phase to the liquid phase, enabling effective removal.

Working Principle

  1. Vapour Condensation: Incoming air containing oil vapours passes through a set of specially designed Venturi Quenchers. These are equipped with anti-clogging nozzles that wash the system continuously, promoting condensation of oil vapours.
  2. Final Filtration: The air then undergoes further filtration through packing materials inside a tower before being released into the atmosphere via a fan.

Additional Technologies and Applications

  • Baghouse Filters: Used for dust treatment in foundry environments.
  • Vacuum Sealed Evaporation Plants: For specialized evaporation processes.
  • Venturi-Scrubber: Applied for acid fumes and dust treatment from melting furnace slagging.
  • Static and Electrostatic Filters: Alternative or complementary solutions for oil vapour abatement.

System Benefits and Performance

  • Self-cleaning system to prevent production downtime.
  • Reduction of investment and maintenance costs.
  • 20% reduction in installed power requirements.
  • 90% reduction in waste production.
  • Consistent treatment efficiency over time.
  • Lower CO2 emissions contributing to environmental sustainability.

Comparative Analysis of Ecochimica Systems for Oil Vapours

Ecochimica offers three main systems for oil vapour treatment:

  • Static Filters (FCO®)
  • Electrostatic Filters (F-EL®)
  • Venturi Quenchers (VQC-hi®) – noted for high efficiency and lower power consumption.

Additional Services and Solutions

  • Collection and purification of oil vapours from die-casting machines.
  • Treatment of acid fumes from melting furnace slagging.
  • Soundproofing solutions for industrial environments.
  • Energy recovery and savings through motorized hood production.

Installation Examples and System Configurations

Ecochimica provides centralized Venturi Quencher systems with treated air recirculation for die-casting foundries. The company also offers solutions for single machine oil vapour treatment and has installations in research centers and industrial plants. Centralized aspiration systems and motorized hoods are part of the comprehensive offering.

Key Advantages

  • Cost savings in management, energy consumption, CO2 emissions, waste production, and plant operation.
  • High treatment efficiency ensuring compliance with environmental standards.
  • Robust, self-cleaning design minimizing maintenance and downtime.

ECOCHIMICA HISTORY LA STORIA DI ECOCHIMICA Ecochimica Venturi Quencher VQC-hi® FOR OIL VAPOURS TREATMENT NUOVA TECNOLOGIA PER ABBATTIMENTO VAPORI OLEOSI HIGH EFFICENCY / ALTA EFFICIENZA SIMPLE CONCEPT / SEMPLICE CONCEZIONE MONEY SAVING / RISPARMIO Ecochimica was born in the 70s and has 40 years experience in the environmental sector. Ecochimica has made numerous installations worldwide for the most important foundries companies; it designs and realizes customized plants in order to satisfy specic customer requirements, and it supplies also assistance and scheduled maintenance both of its own plants and third part plants. Ecochimica è nata negli anni ‘70 e vanta un'esperienza di 40 anni nel settore ambientale. Ecochimica ha realizzato numerosi impianti in tutto il mondo per le più importanti aziende del settore della fonderia; progetta e realizza impianti su misura per soddisfare al meglio le speciche richieste del cliente e fornisce anche assistenza e manutenzione programmata sia per i propri impianti sia per impianti di terze parti. ECOCHIMICA WORLDWIDE ECOCHIMICA NEL MONDO Our goal is to treat the oil vapours changing from vapour phase to liquid phase Il nostro obiettivo è abbattere i vapori oleosi riportandoli dalla fase vapore alla fase liquida Venturi Quencher VQC-hi® working principle Principio di Funzionamento Venturi Quencher VQC-hi® DIE-CASTING FOUNDRY AIR TREATMENT DEPURAZIONE ARIA IN FONDERIA DI PRESSOCOLATA The VQC-hi® is composed of two treatment stages: VQC-hi® è composto da due stadi di trattamento: 1. vapours condensation: The oil vapours contained in the air at lter’s inlet pass through a VENTURI QUENCHERS set, which are specially designed and washed with anti-clogging nozzles, causing the oil vapours condensation. 1. condensazione dei vapori: I vapori oleosi contenuti nell’aria all’ingresso del ltro passano attraverso un set di VENTURI QUENCHERS, appositamente progettati e lavati da speciali ugelli anti-intasamento, provocando la condensazione dei vapori oleosi. 2. nal ltration: The air has a further nal ltration through the tower’s packing material and then is sent to atmosphere through the fan. 2. ltrazione nale: L’aria subisce poi un ulteriore ltrazione nale attraversando i riempimenti nella torre. Successivamente l’aria è in atmosfera attraverso il ventilatore. Via Zambon, 23 - 36051 Creazzo (VI) Italy Phone: +39 0444 371402 r.a.
