Phosphating Wastewater Treatment Systems
Many industries use Phosphate Conversion Coating for surface pretreatment. This application is applied to steel that creates a thin layer of iron, zinc, or manganese phosphates to improve corrosion resistance and promotes better paint bonding. While many manufacturers use phosphate coating, it also creates a few challenges. Met-Chem specializes in keeping process tanks clean, treating phosphating wastewater through evaporation, a batch waste treatment system, or a continuous flow treatment system.
Process Tank Cleaning
Phosphating Process Tanks will build up with solids over time. When this happens the process tanks will need to be emptied and the solids will need to be shoveled out. This is costly as the entire tank needs to be drained and sent to wastewater treatment or hauled away. It is also a downtime that leads to a lot of labor.
Fortunately, the Met-Chem Filter Press easily fixes this problem. The filter press is connected to this process tank. It will constantly filter the contents of the tank and capture any solids that may begin to enter the tank. Due to the high temperature of these process tanks the filter press will use CPVC or a higher-grade material for its plumbing. The press will be sized to process the entire tank at least twice per day.

Sludge Dumpsters
Sludge Dumpsters are used directly under the filter press to catch the sludge that is released from the Filter Press during cleaning. The dumpster is on casters for easy mobility. They are also equipped with forklift tubes for convenient use with a tow motor. The operator can move the dumpster to a roll-off container with the forklift and then pull the release pin for easy emptying. The dumpster can then be snapped back to the upright position and put back under the filter press.

Wastewater Evaporation Systems
Many companies are turning to evaporation systems to treat phosphating wastewater. An Evaporation System can reduce your need to haul away Expensive Wastewater, and therefore, the equipment would Pay for Itself in a manner of years. Met-Chem evaporators are scaled for your wastewater needs, and they are free of complicated machinery and chemistry. Their design provides consistent operation, minimal clean-out, high efficiency, and low maintenance.
Met-Chem offers two types of evaporation, Thermal and Atmospheric.

Rinse Water Purification System - RO / DI Water
Water Purification Schematic Flow Process
There are various water polishing schemes to purify water. Met-Chem will engineer the most cost-effective way to reach the purification level you are targeting.
In the diagram above, city tap water is run through the Activated Carbon Filter, and it will remove organic compounds found in water. This will prevent microbial fouling in the Reverse Osmosis System.
The water is then run through the Water Softener. This will protect your Reverse Osmosis System by removing scale-forming elements such as calcium that cannot be removed by the activated carbon filter.
The Reverse Osmosis System creates a very pure form of water. Reverse Osmosis is a water purification process that uses pressure and a semi-permeable membrane to remove dissolved solids. The RO water is stored in a holding tank.
If the RO water needs more purification, a Deionization System will reduce the conductivity of the RO water. The deionizer will remove trace minerals and charged ions from the RO Water. In the diagram, the RO water is recirculated continuously through the Deionization System where it can be used for rinses and make-up water.
