Evaporator Saves Electroplater Millions in Disposal Costs
Project Overview In order to maximize line speed and thus the production, the strip needed to be rinsed immediately after plating. The rinse water diluted electrolyte solution and a portion of the electrolyte had to be disposed to maintain the re- quired electrolytic balance in the solution. The excess dilut- ed electrolyte could not be discharged locally, so it had to be trucked away. AK Steel needed a system to remove the excess water to
