Paint Sludge Recycling

Seeking innovative, sustainable, and cost-effective solutions for recycling paint sludge to meet environmental regulations and quality standards.

  Commensurate

 
Reward money is paid in exchange of legally acquiring the solution, implementing it to solve the problem and meeting the success criteria. Milestones for paying the reward money would depend upon the complexity of challenge and maturity of the proposed solution, which would be discussed with the solver as soon as the proposed solution is selected by us.

Challenge details:

Painting processes generate paint sludge, a hazardous waste consisting of overspray paint particles and other residues. A typical paint shop generates approximately 140 MT of paint sludge annually. Disposing of this waste is a persistent challenge due to its adverse environmental impact. Increasingly stringent regulations necessitate exploring alternative, green recycling solutions.

Efforts to recycle paint sludge into fresh paint have failed to meet essential quality-specific parameters, including viscosity, color consistency, dry-film thickness, gloss and drying time etc.  

We, therefore, seek innovative, sustainable and easy-to-implement solutions for recycling of paint sludge that offer environmental benefits without incurring additional costs. Your contributions can help mitigate environmental risks, comply with stringent regulations, and create value from waste.

Online condition monitoring of Leaf Spring Stack for torpedo Ladle Car
In the steel manufacturing industry, torpedo vehicles transport ladles containing molten metal (temperature of 1400-1500 Deg C) along a rail track. Each Torpedo vehicle is equipped with a pair of leaf spring stacks to support the ladles during transit.
...
Inspection and cleaning of high-rise chimneys in paint shops
High-rise chimneys carry fumes of burnt gases, paint fumes, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). They require regular internal and external health assessments to prevent fire risks from exhaust particle deposits. We seek cost-effective, innovative solutions for real-time monitoring and cleaning of chimneys to enhance safety and operational efficiency.
