Mixed metals
Multiple finishing processes create overlapping treatment demands.
Plating, coating, anodizing, pretreatment, and rinse operations can produce a complex mix of metals, cleaners, fines, and color. MCi connects sample testing, treatment chemistry, and the equipment needed to operate it.
The wastewater plant sees everything that changes upstream: a different substrate, bath, cleaner, drag-out rate, or production schedule. Treatment should be tested across representative conditions, then translated into an operating window the team can manage.
The objectiveControl metals, suspended material, oil, and color while producing a dewaterable solids fraction and a repeatable operating sequence.
Multiple finishing processes create overlapping treatment demands.
Dumped baths and concentrated rinses can upset the normal process.
Long chemical sequences add decisions, storage, and variability.
Wet or unstable solids increase labor and disposal cost.
Representative samples and operating data reveal where equalization, chemistry, and separation should work together.
Identify rinses, dumps, production peaks, incompatible streams, and the existing treatment sequence.
Screen chemistry against normal and difficult conditions, including floc and dewatering behavior.
Define feed, mixing, reaction, separation, monitoring, and response steps around the proven result.

Treatment results vary by wastewater. Bench and field testing are required before a final program is specified.
