Advanced Wastewater Treatment for Surface Finishing & Electroplating
Effective Solutions for Compliance and Sustainability
Managing wastewater from surface finishing and plating operations requires the removal of heavy metals, oils, and suspended solids to meet strict environmental standards. With the steady growth of industrial manufacturing in metal finishing, discharge regulations are becoming increasingly rigorous. For over 40 years, MacDermid Envio has delivered innovative, efficient, and cost-effective systems to help operators stay compliant while maintaining a competitive edge.
Keeping Surface Finishers Ahead
Surface finishing wastewater poses unique challenges due to its high pollutant concentration and sludge production. MacDermid Envio offers tailored metal removal solutions for businesses of all sizes, from small shops to large-scale aerospace manufacturers. Our technology supports a wide range of processes, including captive plating, phosphatizing, anodizing, chrome conversion, parts washing, vibratory deburring, E-coating, and more.
We manufacture critical system components and provide complementary chemicals to ensure seamless operation and compliance. Our industry-leading solutions enable clients to achieve long-term efficiency, meet stringent environmental requirements, and improve their bottom line.
Efficient Sludge Management
Metal plating and finishing processes generate metal hydroxide sludge as a by-product. After metals and organic materials are removed during treatment, the remaining sludge must be safely disposed of, often at significant cost—especially if it contains hazardous materials.
MacDermid Envio specializes in advanced dewatering technologies that minimize sludge weight, recover valuable resources, and reduce disposal expenses. Our solutions are designed to optimize efficiency, reclaim water, and enhance sustainability in every operation.
