In the small studios of Painting Company Colorful, it is noticeable that water consumption is high. The company is now investigating ways to reduce waste and work more sustainably.

In five steps, you’ll see how we turned the challenge of this project into an efficient, sustainable solution.
The existing 50-liter capacity AS50 plant was no longer adequate. This made it increasingly difficult to efficiently clean paint tools and properly dispose of the contaminated rinse water.
The growth in the number of students created structural capacity problems. The entire plant was sometimes filled after only half a block of lessons. As a result, the purification process had to be restarted several times.

The growth in the number of students created structural capacity problems. The entire plant was sometimes filled after only half a block of lessons. As a result, the purification process had to be restarted several times.
Trivec bought back the existing AS50 plant for a trade-in fee. This plant will be completely cleaned and technically overhauled for reuse.
This trade-in allowed the investment amount for a new AS120 rinse water system to be reduced. With a capacity of 120 liters, Dockinga College now has enough space to clean paint tools on a daily basis and process the rinse water responsibly.
The existing brush cleaner and high-pressure pump were still functioning well. These were therefore reinstalled on the new system.
Completion took place just before the summer vacation. As a result, the practical classroom was ready in time for the start of the new school year.
We delivered the new installation, connected it and made it ready for use. The existing accessories were reassembled. We immediately took the old installation for overhaul and reuse.
Dockinga College now has sufficient capacity for cleaning brushes and mini rollers, even with a growing number of students.
The new installation provides more practical space in the classroom and allows for more efficient handling of rinse water.
The trade-in allowance and reuse of accessories kept the investment limited. In addition, the old installation gets a second life after overhaul.
