Most of the hazardous waste in surface finishing comes from wastewater that is generated by rinse water. Due to the substantial amount of this waste, within this $155 billion dollar industry, companies are taking quick action to mitigate the environmental risk associated with dumping, and consumption. One of the major steps is though pollution prevention planning and water conservation. […]
Understanding local regulations and distinct operating variables is key to creating effective wastewater solutions. By Tim Hanna, PRAB Vice President of Business Development Introduction Modern manufacturing operations are constantly looking for ways to innovate and increase productivity. This means making the most efficient use of any resource essential to the process. These resources, […]
Download Introduction Today’s manufacturers should be keenly aware of the problems—and especially the penalties—associated with discharging industrial wastewater into sewage treatment systems. The removal of soluble heavy metal ions from wastewater is a common industrial treatment requirement in modern manufacturing. Some of the processes that generate waste streams containing heavy metals are: Electroplating Electroless nickel plating Printed circuit […]
Electroplating, electroless nickel plating, metal-forming operations, battery recycling and other such operations all generate wastewater containing soluble heavy metal ions. Ultrafiltration and precipitation are the most effective methods for removing these metal ions. Both help manufacturers avoid the costly consequences of non-treatment, that can include corrosion to systems, toxic pollutants passed into surface waters, sludge disposal, and more. Finding […]
Q: What are some tips you can give our shop about the proper removal of soluble heavy metal ions from from our wastewater? A: Today’s manufacturers should be keenly aware of the problems—and especially the penalties—associated with discharging industrial wastewaters into sewage treatment systems. Corrosion and other interference with those systems, exposing workers to toxic substances and hazardous fumes, expensive […]
According to the Aerospace Industries Association, few if any industries have done a better job of improving environmental performance over the last several decades than the aerospace industry. The AIA states that today’s aircraft and engines are considerably more efficient than those manufactured just 20 or 30 years ago, which has dramatically decreased fuel usage and harmful emissions. Additionally, […]
According to UN.org, more than 80% of all the wastewater from our homes, cities, industry and agriculture flows back into the ecosystem via lakes, rivers and other bodies of surface water, polluting the environment while losing valuable nutrients and other recoverable materials in the process. Guy Ryder, the Director-General of the UN International Labor Organization (ILO) and the Chairperson of […]
Wouldn’t it be great if you could have it all? With no more decisions about where to allocate your equipment budget or which purchases to prioritize, you could simply fill your facility with everything you need to maximize efficiency and increase profitability. Unfortunately, there’s no such thing as an industrial operation that has access to endless financial resources. At least […]
Waste management cost has continued to be a focus for manufacturers. With dollars on the rise for waste disposal, and environmental issues, companies are beginning to crack down more on ways to save money, and be environmentally sustainable. New standards from the International Organization for Standardization, or ISO, has created the 14001 standard that “helps organizations identify, manage, monitor, and […]
