Managing Wastewater in the
Metal Finishing Industry
Achieve compliance with self-protecting water treatment systems fitted to your metal finishing operation.
Efficient, cost-effective metal finishing wastewater treatment systems designed for removal of heavy metals (nickel, chromium, copper, zinc), phosphates, coolants, cutting fluids, oils, greases, paints, pigments, solvents, and other process contaminants from industrial wastewater streams.
Our engineered solutions support a wide range of metal finishing and surface treatment applications, including electroplating wastewater treatment, anodizing rinse water treatment, metal plating rinse water recycling, and industrial process wastewater purification systems.
Our experienced engineers design and build customized systems for industrial wastewater treatment in metal finishing facilities, including chemical precipitation systems, Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF), filtration systems, and advanced clarification technologies to ensure regulatory compliance and efficient operation.
Additional capabilities include raw water softening, deionization systems for rinse water and chemical bath make-up, and closed-loop water recycling systems to reduce discharge, improve water reuse, and lower operating costs in metal finishing operations.
