Environment and sustainability in the process industry

Processöverskott AB works for a more sustainable process industry by giving tanks and process equipment a new life. Our focus is to utilize equipment that is still of high quality and can be used in new operations and processes.

Through reuse, companies can reduce the need for new manufacturing, save resources and at the same time have access to functioning equipment with shorter delivery times. This makes used tanks a sustainable option for companies in the food, chemical, beverage and other process industries.

Used tanks – a sustainable alternative

Many process tanks, storage tanks and stainless steel tanks are built for a long industrial life. When a fully functional tank can be reused instead of scrapped, the need for new steel, energy, transportation and other resources is reduced.

For many businesses, this brings both environmental and economic benefits. A second-hand tank can often be a faster and more cost-effective option than new production, without compromising on function or use.

• less need for new construction,
• reduced material consumption,
• shorter delivery times,
• lower investment cost,
• and longer lifetime of existing industrial equipment.

Long life of stainless steel tanks

Stainless and acid-proof stainless steel are materials that lend themselves well to reuse. Many tanks are designed for demanding process environments and can therefore continue to be used for a long time after previous use.

Circular economy in the process industry

The circular economy is about using resources longer and more efficiently. In industry, equipment often has many years of life remaining, even when it is no longer needed for its original purpose.

By passing on such equipment, Process Surplus helps companies to make use of existing resources instead of always choosing new ones. This contributes to reduced material waste and a more resource-efficient industry.

• we extend the lifetime of tanks and industrial equipment,
• we help customers find existing alternatives,
• we reduce the need for unnecessary scrapping,
• and we make it easier to choose more circular solutions.

Reuse instead of new production

New manufacturing requires raw materials, energy and production time. Therefore, when the right equipment is already available, reuse can be a better choice – for the environment, the economy and the project timeline.

Shorter delivery times and smarter investments

Another important advantage of second-hand equipment is availability. Many new tanks have long delivery times, while an existing tank can often be delivered significantly faster.

This can be crucial for refurbishments, capacity increases, temporary needs or projects where time is of the essence. At the same time, the investment cost can often be lower compared to newly manufactured alternatives.

Through our network and partnerships in Northern Europe, we can offer a wide range of tanks, storage tanks, mixer tanks, tank containers and other process equipment.

Advantages of used process equipment

• Reduced resource consumption
• Shorter delivery times
• Lower investment costs
• Less material waste
• Reuse of existing industrial equipment
• Wide range of tanks and process equipment
• Ability to find solutions tailored to your industry and process

New production when the right second-hand solution is not available

Our first option is always to investigate whether a suitable used tank or process equipment is available. However, in some cases, the customer’s process, dimensions, materials or schedule require a different solution.

When the right used alternative is not available, we can also help with new production and customized solutions through our network and partners in Europe. This way, the customer can get the right equipment regardless of whether the solution is reused or newly manufactured.
