Electroplating

Electroplating and metal finishing operations generate rinse water, spent baths and process wastewater containing heavy metals such as chromium, nickel, copper and zinc, along with acids, alkalis and other plating chemistries. These streams fall under strict EPA pretreatment standards. The metal hydroxide sludge left behind after treatment is typically regulated as hazardous waste, so every ton you haul is expensive. ECOR provides on-site wastewater treatment, sludge dewatering and filtration services that help plating shops and metal finishers stay compliant and cut disposal costs.

Through laboratory and on-site analysis, our team identifies the metals and chemistries in your wastewater and builds a treatment approach around your permit limits and production schedule.
