Ion Exchange System
Rinsewater Maintenance System (RMS)
Maintains high quality metal finishing rinsewaters and eliminates or reduces waste disposal
Features and Benefits
Closed-loop; Eliminates or reduces discharge to sewer and associated costs for water, sewer use and wastewater treatment.
Prolongs process bath service life due to reduced drag-in contaminants.
Reduces reject rate and improves plating quality.
Resin combinations for treatment of chrome, cyanide and acid/alkali rinsewaters.
Simple regeneration with water and chemical conservation features to minimize regenerant volume and reduce operating costs.
Modular design, factory skid mounted, and pre-wired for ease of installation.
Optional lift stations and D.I. makeup systems for complete system integration
Designed to be compatible with your existing waste management system.
Metal finishing rinsewaters vary in contaminant loading as a function of bath concentration, part configuration, use of dragout tanks, and rinsewater flow rate. When applied with proper rinsing techniques, Kurion closed-loop ion exchange technology provides and maintains high quality rinsewater to enhance product quality and to reduce bath maintenance.
We have developed a Rinsewater Maintenance system specifically for treating metal finishing rinsewaters. The system successfully removes bath contamination and provides high quality water for reuse with elimination or reduction of sewer discharge. | | With this approach, those contaminants reaching the rinse are removed, thereby creating the opportunity for metal reclaim and reuse. Kurion provides electrolytic plate out recovery systems for many metals which, in conjunction with the Rinsewater Maintenance System and EVAP Vacuum Evaporation Systems, can provide closed-loop operation for most applications.
Standard Equipment
RMS standard system components are skid mounted and pre-wired in the factory for easy on-site installation and include the following major components:
■ Conductivity monitors and alarms.
■ Rinsewater recirculation pump.
■ Pre-filtration unit.
■ Ion exchange columns with automatic regeneration.
■ Two regenerant pumps.
■ Two regenerant makeup tanks with level controls.
■ One lot each proprietary Kurion cation and anion resin.
■ Control panel with PLC and HMI controller. | | Optional Equipment
■ Rinsewater collection tank with level control.
■ Spare process pump.
■ Spent regenerant collection tank.
■ Kurion EVAP Vacuum Evaporation System.
■ Plate Out Cell System.
■ Batch Treatment System.
■ Activated Carbon Filter.
■ Treatment Process
Kurion has developed ion exchange processes that will maintain high quality rinsing from a variety of metal finishing rinsewaters. These ion exchange systems are designed to be applied in conjunction with recovery techniques such as electrolytic recovery and/or evaporation that can lead to a closed-loop operation.
Rinsewaters are processed through specially selected ion exchange resins to remove bath contaminants. This is done by collecting the water in lift stations andprocessing the water first through a filtration section to remove suspended solids and then through the resin columns. The produced water quality is constantly monitored for purity. |
