Manufacturers of paints and coatings can now reduce their carbon footprint, every day, by using a liquid product recovery (often called ‘pigging’) technology, according to a new report from independent sustainability and energy consultancy Carbon-Zero.
Compared to conventional processes and in terms of equivalent carbon savings, HPS pigging technology reduces carbon emissions by over two tonnes every time a manufacturer changes the product pumped through the pipe. Using water-based and solvent-based paint production as examples, the report demonstrates that around 2.6 tonnes are saved every time there is a product changeover. Because many companies will use one line for several different products, they make several changeovers every day.
