The manufacture and maintenance of airframes and aerospace engines utilise chemical processes to clean and inspect the alloys, as well as to coat and protect against corrosion and wear.

These processes demand pure water for rinsing and replenishment and require ventilation to maintain a safe working environment. This creates waste water and contaminated air which need correction before dispersion to the natural environment.

The aggressive nature of these processes, plus the considerable size of structures processed make the provision of waste correction facilities a considerable undertaking, and are subject to the new IPPC regulations which call for continuous improvement.

e-RPM has developed appropriate process technologies and equipment for waste minimisation and pollution abatement, specific to the aerospace industry. These processes can be readily combined with existing installations, without disruption and ensuring sustainability in this important industry segment.
