By the identification of some sub- -processes with CP opportunities, focus points were identified and subjected to some technical modifications and innovations. The most significant results were obtained regarding waste waters, through the modifications of existing waste water generation and a possible switch to an other technology, the reduction of K-silica waste through a technological modification, a system of powder transport, as well as the production of coated electrodes. %K welding electrodes %K welding %K CP opportunities %K waste waters treatment %K coating powders %U http://www.ache.org.rs/CICEQ/2009/No1/14_3039_%281%292009.pdf
