According to Brenntag North America, as plating chemistry evolves and soils requiring removal from the cleaning, lubrication and cooling processes change, it is necessary to run testing procedures pertaining to the coagulation, flocculation and precipitation processes of various metals of concern. The testing performed by metal finishing facilities focuses on results derived from utilization of the physical process of the waste treatment system, as well as the chemical process utilized, and any post-treatment filtration process prior to discharge to the publicly owned treatment work (POTW) or National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) approved receiving stream. Operators of all experience levels can gain additional knowledge on this topic, as well as treatment products, by visiting Brenntag’s booth.
