Treatment built for
a changing finish line.

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.

Keep the line moving.
Keep treatment ready.

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 objective

Control metals, suspended material, oil, and color while producing a dewaterable solids fraction and a repeatable operating sequence.

01

Mixed metals

Multiple finishing processes create overlapping treatment demands.

02

Peak loads

Dumped baths and concentrated rinses can upset the normal process.

03

Operator burden

Long chemical sequences add decisions, storage, and variability.

04

Sludge handling

Wet or unstable solids increase labor and disposal cost.

Build a treatment window
around production reality.

Representative samples and operating data reveal where equalization, chemistry, and separation should work together.

01 · Map

Separate the sources

Identify rinses, dumps, production peaks, incompatible streams, and the existing treatment sequence.

02 · Prove

Test representative water

Screen chemistry against normal and difficult conditions, including floc and dewatering behavior.

03 · Standardize

Give operators a path

Define feed, mixing, reaction, separation, monitoring, and response steps around the proven result.

Start at the finishing line

Bring the rinsewater.
Bring the real variation.

Share the finishing processes, current treatment, analytical data, flow, and a representative sample.

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

Unofficial field-crew motto

Wastewater rarely gives up easily.
Neither do we.
