Client: Waterbury Plating Company
Location: Waterbury, Connecticut
Project: Environmental Audit for Electroplating Company
Description:
Performed a water, process chemical, and wastewater treatment audit on an
automatic nickel electroplating line for the client. The audit involved
assessing the volume and cost of water required to adequately rinse the metal
parts after nickel plating, the volume of rinsewater and concentration of nickel
plating solution requiring treatment prior to discharge, the cost of the
rinsewater treatment and associated disposal costs.
Based on the initial audit, it was recommended to install an ion exchange
system to remove the nickel solution from the rinsewater and recycle the water
back to the rinse tank. The concentrated nickel solution from the ion exchange
regeneration was reused in the nickel plating tanks. This process recycled 10
gallons per minute of water to reduce water usage, plating solution
replenishment, and treatment and disposal costs. The payback on this investment
was less than six months.
