April 2021	Demand Grows For Improved Water Treatment Systems Stringent discharge rules for trade effluents are fuelling enquiries into the benefits of the latest wastewater processing technology, says Axium Process. The filtration specialist has seen a rise in demand for customised membrane systems as environmental responsibility, operational costs, and discharge limitations put increasing pressure on companies to find improved solutions for trade effluents. Derek Davies, Business Development Director at Axium Process, said “A growing number of industrial companies need to balance their discharge consent against increased levels of production and spikes in output linked to manufacturing processes. Failure to do so can result in hefty fines, snap inspections, and reputational damage
Nov 2021	Axium Thrives Under Pressure Complex regulations and compliance requirements for high pressure pipework are driving demand for specialist services from hygienic fabricators, says Axium Process. The company reports that a growing number of manufacturers are turning to its team to help them modify, maintain and commission high pressure pipework. The nature of this work, and associated risks, means it must comply with Pressure Equipment Regulations (PER), be carried out by tradesmen with appropriate qualifications, and will often be subject to third-party inspections and approvals.
Feb 2021	The Right Mix Developing a liquid mixing process requires specialist expertise, whether manual or automatic in operation. Factors such as solids suspension, distribution and shear sensitivity determine the type of agitation, blending, or mixing required. Positioning of the mixer, access, temperature control and CIP requirements must be considered, along with risk assessments at the design stage to ensure compliance with directives such as PED or ATEX, and appropriate CE markings or Notified Body approvals.
Oct 2020	CNC Investment To Meet Demand For Precision Engineering Swansea based hygienic engineering company, Axium Process have invested in a further two new Doosan CNC machines to meet increased demand for high quality precision manufacturing. This capital investment means the pharmaceutical manufacturing specialist can support the sector with higher volumes of precision engineered components in-house, including one-off designs and batch requirements.
June 2020	New Packaged High-Quality Water System is "Good to Go" Axium’s new “Good to Go” packaged water treatment system is designed for water purifying applications and delivers commercially sterile, sustainable, high-quality water, bypassing the need for ion exchange beds and chemical treatment processes. The system, which utilises Reverse Osmosis technology, is being used for applications where low conductivity (salt removed) water is required and can be used in conjunction with complementary processes such as carbon filtration and ultraviolet (UV) treatment, providing a robust and versatile solution to tackle almost every water purification application.
May 2020	Volac World Leaders in Dairy Nutrition, Award NF Membrane System Contract to Axium Process Volac, a world leader in dairy nutrition, recently awarded Axium Process its Contract to build a new Nanofiltration membrane system for its expanding Felinfach, Lampeter whey protein process operations. The Nanofiltration system contract follows the successful integration of a Microfiltration membrane system which was recently manufactured, installed and commissioned by Axium Process.
Jan 2020	Gestamp delighted by unexpected benefits from New RO System Llanelli based Gestamp, a leading designer, developer and manufacturer of metal automotive components, is benefitting from significant environmental and process improvements following a decision to invest in Reverse Osmosis technology for its low conductivity process water generation requirements.
