Mist Eliminators - Meshpad

Description

• Recover plating chemicals from the exhaust airstream
• Usually attached to the duct work for a specific tank

Advantages

• Recaptures the plating chemicals, possibly for reuse
• Significantly reduces air emissions

Implementation Process

• Determine cost-effectiveness, including:
• initial: retrofitting / construction, purchase cost
• operational: labor, energy, water
• savings: recovered material, reduced emissions
• Install exhaust system specific for each plating system, incorporating a meshpad mist eliminator
• Train employees about the proper maintenance for the equipment
