Surface Finishing

Achieve Compliance, Reduce Waste, and Recover Resources with FiltMem Ultrafiltration Technology.

Why Wastewater Treatment Matters in Surface Finishing

The surface finishing industry generates wastewater containing heavy metals, oils, emulsions, and solids. Rising environmental regulations and disposal costs make it crucial to treat wastewater efficiently and sustainably.

Our ultrafiltration (UF) membrane solutions deliver reliable, high-performance separation to ensure regulatory compliance and enable water and resource recovery.

Common Wastewater Challenges

Heavy Metals

Toxic contaminants like chromium, nickel, copper.

Complexing Agents

Chemicals that complicate traditional treatments.

Oils & Emulsions

Introduced during degreasing and cleaning.

Suspended Solids

Particles from grinding and overspray.

High Water Usage

Large wastewater volumes from rinsing steps.

High Disposal Costs

Expensive sludge treatment and removal.
