Radici Group has installed a new lactam wastewater recovery plant at its production site in the North of Italy. Specialised in polyamide six polymerisation and BCF yarn production, the new plant recovers the wastewater from the polymerisation process with a caprolactam concentration of 8-12 percent. The quantity of steam needed for the lactam wastewater recovery process in the new system has fallen by about 80% (although the pressure remains the same) compared to the amount required for the old plant previously in operation. The construction work for the new system was coordinated by Marco Gualteroni, engineer and site energy manager, acting in the role of project leader.
