Carbon Treatment

Description

  • Carbon adsorbs, and removes organic contaminants from water
  • Organic contamination typically results from:
    • oils in the bath
      breakdown of bath chemicals

Advantages / Limitations

  • Contamination removal reduces the negative effect organics can have on the process, including:
    • pitting
      blistering
      poor adhesion
      inefficient use of metal
      stained, dull or blotchy finish

Implementation Process

  • Determine cost effectiveness
  • Purchase equipment
    • carbon filtration cartridge
      carbon canister
      precoat filter
      bulk application/agitation/filtration
  • Train employees on system operation and maintenance
  • Maintain the system
