The metals and electroplating industry plays a big role in manufacturing parts for automotive, electronics, hardware, and many other sectors. But one major issue in this industry is the generation of highly contaminated wastewater.

This effluent often contains heavy metals, acids, alkalis, cyanides, and high Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), making it tough to treat with normal methods. It is not only harmful to the environment but also poses a serious threat to human health if not properly handled.

Treating this wastewater is challenging and usually requires multiple stages, chemical treatment, and large space — which adds to the cost and complexity.
