Coolant Recycling Technology
Coolant Recycling Technology
Industry-first recycling system for spent engine coolant
The Process:
Queensland-developed solution for reclaiming & recycling spent coolant
The Product:
Coolwash: biodegradable, performance-based, safe cleaning detergent
Solutions – urban mining in practice
Coolant Recycling Technology (CRT), developed by Prochem Group of Companies, is the first of its kind for the region. By reclaiming and recycling spent engine coolant in heavy industrial and mining environments, the CRT system converts the waste product into a biodegradable, performance-based, safe cleaning detergent. Prochem is proud to offer this solution to mining and heavy industry.
Decades of experience in coolant handling
Prochem boasts two decades of experience supplying coolant packages in Australia and the owners have developed a strong understanding of the required technology, handling skills, patterns of use and disposal issues associated with these products. This affordable, efficient & sustainable coolant recycling program offers all generators of waste coolant, and in particular large mining companies, a service backed by experience, knowledge, and data.
COOLANT RECYCLING TECHNOLOGY (CRT)
How does the Coolant Recycling Technology (CRT) work?
- Coolant type and application recorded
- Biodegradability of spent coolant confirmed before receipt (only propylene glycol-based products accepted)
- Trade waste certificate supplied to customer
- Coolant recovered from site through primary filtration system – cost per litre based on quantities supplied
- Transported to our Mackay production facility
- Volume and origin information transferred to production facility as part of record keeping process
- Waste from this process is recovered and disposed of by licensed waste company to approved landfill or incineration
- All tramp oil, heavy metals and heat affected components removed by chemical treatment and filtration
- Components used in re-engineering process are selected based on biodegradability, performance, safety, and environmental impact
- Finished products are logged into traceability system, labelled with a recycled logo and returned to market as COOLWASH

Research-backed data and results
Prochem was so confident in this coolant handling system that it partnered with world-leading researchers at James Cook University over several years to undergo testing and analysis of the technology with much success. To learn more about the results of this comprehensive research and findings, contact us today. We look forward to showing new and existing customers the amazing results this technology has in cost-efficiencies and biodegradability.
Environmental sustainability
Coolant disposal is often a time-consuming & environmentally risky process for business owners, not to mention the increasing costs. Through ongoing product development, we strive to continually find ways to minimise the environmental impact of all our products whilst retaining quality. We take our commitment to ethical and environmentally sustainable products and services seriously, so you can rest assured that when you work with us, you are making a responsible choice.
