Projects & Cases
Discover how painters, vocational schools and industrial companies optimize their water use and save costs with Trivec installations.Practical examples of sustainable results, proven in practice.
Van Vuuren Deuren produces high-quality doors where waste water is released daily in the gluing line. Increasing volumes of rinse water created a need to expand the existing waste water processing system. To ensure continuity and to set up the process in a more user-friendly and efficient way, Trivec was called in for a suitable custom solution.

RAI Amsterdam, international event venue, was looking for an efficient and safe solution for cleaning painting tools and processing released wastewater during set-up and take-down periods. To test the feasibility of various set-up options, it was decided to conduct a hands-on pilot together with Trivec B.V.
Dockinga College in Dokkum provides the Construction, Living & Interior (BWI) course. During the lessons, many brushes and mini rollers are used daily. Proper cleaning of tools and responsible processing of rinse water are therefore important. However, the existing rinse water installation with a capacity of 50 liters became too small due to the growth in the number of students. Dockinga College asked Trivec to help think of a solution that would better suit current practice and future growth.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions about our installations, use and maintenance.So you know exactly what to expect before you get started.
How often should I change the water in my rinse water system?
What types of materials can I clean in a rinse water plant?
In a rinse water plant, the water is not continuously replaced, but separated into clear water and sludge during each rinse. The purified water can be disposed of or reused for cleaning tools. How often you completely change the water depends on the use and degree of contamination.
How does separating paint and water work?
During the cleaning process, a coagulant is added to the rinse water. This causes paint particles to clump together to form flakes. These flakes settle and remain in the filter basket as sludge, while the clear water is filtered and discharged or reused.
How much maintenance does a flush water system need?
Maintenance of a rinse water plant is limited. In practice, this consists mainly of removing the dried sludge from the filter basket, checking the installation and topping up the coagulant in time. In normal operation, this is a simple and quick operation.
What companies is a flush water system suitable for?
Rinse water systems are used in workshops where water-based paint, varnish, glue or ink is handled. Think of painting companies, paint shops, interior builders, educational institutions and other workshops where tools are regularly cleaned.
