Electroplating Wastewater
Polish treated effluent.
Prepare water for reuse.
Electroplating wastewater contains heavy metals and organic contaminants. Physical, chemical and biological treatment typically removes these pollutants before final polishing for discharge or reuse.
Strict metal limits place high demands on the complete treatment train. Where water is reused in production, ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis can provide further treatment matched to the plant’s process-water specification.
Strict discharge limits.
Complex reuse processes.
After sedimentation, conventional treatment may add sand filtration or dissolved-air flotation before final polishing. Multiple stages increase operating complexity and cost, while residual fine particles can affect treated-effluent stability.
Reuse trains may then include PVDF ultrafiltration, softening and reverse osmosis. Each stage adds maintenance work, and polymeric membrane ageing introduces further lifecycle considerations.
- 01 / REMOVE
Physical, chemical and biological treatment
Remove dissolved heavy metals according to water quality.
- 02 / SETTLE
Sedimentation
Separate precipitates and settled solids.
- 03 / FILTER
Super Cerafilter
Ceramic polishing · turbidity < 0.1 NTU. Stable compliance with discharge limits for heavy metals.
- 04 / REUSE
Further treatment
Softening and RO where required for production reuse.
Ceramic effluent polishing.
A shorter route to reuse.
Super Cerafilter accepts suitable sedimentation-tank effluent directly and delivers filtered-water turbidity below 0.1 NTU. By retaining fine metal-bearing precipitates and suspended particles, it supports stable downstream water quality and can reduce the need for intermediate sand filtration or flotation.
For production reuse, softening and reverse osmosis are configured to meet the receiving process requirements.
Compared with hollow-fibre PVDF ultrafiltration, ceramic membranes offer long service life, thorough cleaning and straightforward operation, without environmental pollution from discarded PVDF membranes.
