About KMU LOFT Cleanwater
KMU LOFT Cleanwater SE is a mid-sized plant manufacturer headquartered in Kirchentellinsfurt that has been developing technical solutions for treating industrial process water using vacuum evaporation since 1990. The systems of the KLC-MASTER Line, DESTIMAT LE and PROWADEST product lines treat oily, salty and mixed process waters as well as emulsions containing coolants, yielding a reusable distillate and a low-water concentrate. The complete Zero Liquid Discharge solutions include upstream and downstream treatment such as exhaust air treatment, cloth filters, DI water circulation, neutralisation, reverse osmosis and oil separators, and are delivered as turnkey systems. The plants are largely automated, require 15 to 30 minutes of daily maintenance and can be monitored via remote maintenance. The systems are installed in over 60 countries, serve a wide range of industries from the automotive sector to the food industry, and are Made in Germany.

Processes and Process Water
Vacuum evaporation / vacuum distillation
Core process for treating oily, salty and mixed process waters with high water recovery and energy consumption of 25–80 kWh per m³.
KLC-MASTER Line
Vacuum evaporator series for the requirements of different industries.
DESTIMAT LE
Vacuum evaporator series for oily process waters, e.g. emulsions and coolants from metalworking.
PROWADEST
Vacuum evaporator series for salty and mixed process waters.
Reverse osmosis
Downstream treatment stage for further concentration or treatment of the distillate.
Proprietary cleaners, defoamers and additives
Operating agents developed in in-house laboratories for process stabilisation and scale prevention.
