Every metal finishing shop is unique. They use different chemicals and generate varying liquid waste with metals and other contaminants. Each shop will have different waste treatment plant priorities arising from its own unique combination of product specialisation government regulation, and economic factors. 
A successful waste treatment system must be custom designed to address all the process characteristics and management priorities. An economical solution must combine this custom design with waste treatment plant equipment that works.
Kurion has developed a range of standard “stand alone” technologies which can be combined into process and system configurations to meet each company’s needs. After gaining a thorough understanding of the customers process, Kurion evaluates the features and benefits of each technology to develop a waste treatment system designed to meet our customers specific goals.

These goals may include the following:
■ Compliance with discharge limits
■ Sludge reduction / Waste
minimisation
■ Chemical Recovery
■ Metals recovery
■ Water Recycling
■ Reduced capital costs
■ Reduced operating costs 
Kurions Wastewater Treatment Plant can be arranged in a custom configuration to address each metal finishing shops specific objectives. Kurion uses a four step engineering process to accomplish this.
1. Define the Wastewater Treatment Problem
Kurions engineers prepare a detailed description of the metal finishing shops process with a hands-on site survey. This defines each process step, rinsewater flowrates, volume and frequency of dumps, and the concentration of chemicals and metals in rinsewater and concentrates.
| | 2. Define the Wastewater Treatment System
We analyse the survey data and combine the waste streams into compatible chemical categories for treatment. Often several alternatives are prepared with an economical analysis of each option for review with the customer. 
3. Wastewater Treatment Plant Evaluation
Kurion evaluates the economics and expected performance of the waste treatment system. The goal is to get the system design right the first time by evaluating all the factors during design.
4. Integrate the Wastewater Treatment System into Your Plant
During the site survey, we measure the area available for installing the equipment and survey the services required and access for equipment and supplies. We ensure our equipment will integrate into the plant processes to meet the customers objectives.
