WTEYA Welcomes Korean Client Focused on Lithium Battery Wastewater Purification
WTEYA recently welcomed a client delegation from South Korea. The visiting company specialises in lithium battery wastewater purification projects and delivers advanced water treatment solutions to some of Korea's leading industrial groups, including SK, Samsung and LG. The visit combined a full factory tour, a focused technical exchange on battery wastewater purification and a forward-looking discussion on how the two companies can work together.
🤝 Welcoming Our Korean Guests to WTEYA
The delegation was received by WTEYA's sales and engineering teams at our headquarters. After a short introduction to our manufacturing history and product portfolio, both sides confirmed the agenda for the day: factory evaluation first, technical exchange on lithium battery wastewater second, and a discussion of long-term cooperation third.
🏭 A Full Tour of the WTEYA Manufacturing Base
The guests then walked through our production workshop and followed the complete manufacturing flow — material preparation, precision welding, assembly, electrical wiring, pressure testing and final commissioning. Because the client works on battery plant projects where reliability is critical, the tour focused on the points that matter most in that sector: material selection for corrosive streams, welding quality and in-house testing before shipment.
Seeing equipment at every production stage gave the visiting engineers a concrete picture of our in-house quality control, and of our ability to customise skids, frames and containerised units for overseas projects.
🔋 Technical Exchange on Lithium Battery Wastewater Purification
The technical session focused on lithium battery wastewater treatment — a stream that combines high salinity, complex organics and strict discharge limits. Our engineers presented how pretreatment, membrane concentration and MVR evaporation are arranged into a complete chain, and how the concentrate and crystallised salt are handled so that the plant reaches discharge compliance rather than shifting the problem downstream.
The client raised practical questions about feedwater variability between production lines, scaling control at high salt concentration, energy consumption per ton of water and remote operation of the system — all answered with reference to real project experience rather than catalogue figures.
♻️ Process Discussion: From Pretreatment to Concentrate Handling
Because a battery wastewater project is judged by the whole train rather than a single unit, the discussion then moved to system-level design. Topics included how to keep pretreatment stable when the influent changes, how to size an evaporation stage so that it meets the required recovery rate, and how to make the interface between chemical, membrane and thermal sections simple to operate and to maintain.
Both engineering teams agreed that a coordinated design is what allows high recovery, stable operation and predictable running cost to be achieved at the same time.
⚙️ Matching Equipment to Battery Plant Requirements
The product review covered the equipment most often required by battery manufacturers: MVR evaporators for high-salinity concentrate, membrane systems for recovery and polishing, and complete industrial wastewater treatment solutions that bring the individual units together into one controlled plant.
WTEYA supplies both standard and customised configurations, so capacity, materials of construction and control logic can be adapted to the site conditions of each battery production base.
🤝 Cooperation Talks and Next Steps
At the closing meeting the two parties agreed to continue technical communication on specific Korean battery wastewater projects and to work together on solution design, product configuration and supply planning. WTEYA looks forward to supporting the client's projects with project-matched equipment and long-term partnership support.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can WTEYA treat the high-salinity wastewater produced by lithium battery manufacturing?
Yes. Lithium battery production generates high-salinity, high-organic wastewater, and WTEYA designs complete trains that combine pretreatment, membrane concentration and MVR evaporation so that the stream can be concentrated, reused and discharged within the required limits.
Can WTEYA customise equipment for an overseas battery plant?
Yes. WTEYA builds both standard and customised systems, and can adapt capacity, materials of construction, pretreatment, control system and enclosure type — skid-mounted, containerised or site-assembled — to match local influent quality, power supply and installation conditions.
What information is needed to prepare a battery wastewater proposal?
A proposal is prepared from four inputs: wastewater source and composition, required daily treatment capacity, target discharge or reuse standard, and site conditions such as available power and installation space. With these details our engineers can propose a configuration and an indicative price.
