Ecosorb® Metal Finishing Case Study

A metal finishing plant faced challenges in maintaining rinse bath discharge compliance due to variations in effluent feed, bath mixtures, and flow rates. The company sought a solution to enhance their current process without significant capital investment. The introduction of ECOSORB, a patented adsorptive medium, proved to be an easy and economical fix. By substituting ECOSORB filter media for diatomaceous earth in the final filtration step, copper discharge levels were reduced to 0.1–0.2 ppm, improving process consistency. ECOSORB W-791, an all-purpose product, is capable of removing a wide range of contaminants from water. Graver Technologies offers custom formulations of ECOSORB to meet specific wastewater treatment needs, providing tailored solutions for adsorption, filtration, and settling requirements.
