For operations & plant managers

Control coolant purchasing, disposal, and operating cost.

Coolant purchases, waste hauling, and fluid-management labor are recurring operating costs. Recycling keeps usable coolant in service and provides a measurable basis for evaluating a capital investment.

What coolant costs your plant

Three recurring coolant-management costs

Review new-fluid purchases, waste-fluid disposal, and fluid-management labor together to establish the plant's current operating-cost baseline.

Recurring coolant-management cost categories
Line	Cost	What it is	Trend
01	New fluid purchases	Every drum of concentrate bought to refill and top up sumps across the plant.	Recurring
02	Waste disposal	Hauler invoices, the fluid testing they require, and the truck to pump it out.	Recurring
03	Labor	The hours spent pumping out sumps, mixing and topping up, and monitoring fluid condition.	Recurring
Summary	Coolant that is purchased and later hauled away creates both procurement and disposal costs. Compare potential reductions in these costs with the quoted system investment to estimate project-specific simple payback. Estimate payback from your current costs and quoted system investment

Capital evaluation

Four inputs for a complete capital request

Combine projected savings, an application review, system sizing, and a formal quotation with specifications and pricing.

Capital versus operating expense

Equipment ownership versus outsourced fluid management

Compare facility-owned equipment with an outsourced fluid-management service based on capital availability, internal staffing, required scope, and recurring cost.

Buy the equipment
Equipment ownership converts recurring fluid and disposal costs into a fixed asset. Estimate simple payback by comparing the quoted system investment with projected monthly savings from fluid, disposal, labor, and maintenance.
Use an outsourced fluid-management service
A service agreement assigns defined fluid-management responsibilities to a provider as a recurring operating expense. Scope, staffing, reporting, and performance commitments depend on the agreement.

Across multiple plants

Standardize coolant equipment across multiple facilities

Standardizing equipment can simplify evaluation, spare parts, consumables, training, and support across multiple facilities. Model selection still follows each plant's fluid, process, layout, and required flow.

Consistent sizing criteria
Select models by application
Equipment is selected for each facility's operating environment. Machine shops use C.R.O.S.S. for shop-wide coolant recovery, with standard models processing up to 1,500 GPH. Tube and steel mills use TMCRS for real-time filtration engineered around the mill's required flow.
Standardized parts identification
Plan replacement items by model
Coalescers, media, and filter bags are identified by model and nameplate number. Standardizing equipment and recording part identifiers can simplify storeroom planning and support requests.
Consistent measurement
Track performance at each site
Establish a baseline from fluid purchases and disposal invoices, then compare the same measures after installation. Each facility can be evaluated using a consistent operating and financial method.

Capital approval

Questions a capex review asks

Q1Is a coolant recycling system a capital expense or an operating expense?: Capital. The system is a fixed asset. Compare the quoted investment with current fluid, disposal, labor, and maintenance costs to estimate project-specific simple payback.
Q2Who approves the capital request?: Approval authority and escalation thresholds are defined by the company's capital-expenditure policy. Support the request with savings projected from facility records, an engineering review, and a quotation with system specifications and pricing.
Q3How should performance be measured after installation?: Use pre-installation fluid purchases and disposal invoices as the baseline. Compare new-fluid spend and disposal volume over an equivalent operating period after installation.
Q4How are projected savings evaluated before purchase?: An EdjeTech engineer reviews the fluid, contaminants, operating volume, and current management practices. The savings estimate can then be evaluated against the recommended system and your actual purchasing and disposal records.
Q5Should multiple plants standardize on one vendor?: Standardization can simplify vendor management, replacement-item planning, and training when the equipment range supports each facility's application. Machine-shop sites can standardize C.R.O.S.S. models and associated equipment. Tube-mill and steel-mill sites require TMCRS configurations engineered around their mill flow.
