Upgrading Aerospace Wastewater Systems enhances Performance

Die Herausforderung

Outdated systems limit production and water quality

A Wichita-based aerospace manufacturer, operating five types of metal finishing lines (anodizing, etching, chemical film, passivation, and more), struggled to meet demand for high-quality rinse water. Even treated city water fell short, while their 20-year-old wastewater system lacked capacity and reliability.

Faced with increasing production needs, they turned to MacDermid Envio to improve water quality, meet discharge regulations, and avoid production delays. As a trusted partner for 20 aerospace manufacturers across we were the perfect partner for this project!

Die MacDermid Envio Lösung

Cost-effective upgrades with minimal disruption

MacDermid Envio conducted a thorough water survey, analyzed processes, and proposed a phased installation plan to maintain operations during upgrades.

Key improvements included:

  • Separating low-TDS and high-TDS rinses
  • Installing efficient water recycling for low-TDS rinses
  • Treating high-TDS rinses and spent chemical baths with a new system

To reduce costs, much of the existing equipment was integrated into the new design.
