BASF Coatings AG, Münster – top-quality water for paints and lacquers with ideal properties.

The project
In Münster's Hiltrup district, REMONDIS Aqua supplies the production plant of the paint and coating specialist BASF Coatings with fully desalinated water. Our scope of services encompassed both the construction and subsequent operation of a plant for desalinating municipal drinking water.
 

 

 

The procedure
The innovative multi-stage process removes all substances from the drinking water that might impair the production of lacquers. We developed the process concept specially for this site. It integrates advanced technologies such as electro-deionisation (EDI) and membrane degasification to supplement classical reverse osmosis.
