Water is a crucial component at every stage of metal processing and finishing. Large amounts of water are utilized throughout the entire process for cooling, washing, conditioning, lubricating, etching and plating. Up-to-date and efficient water management systems are crucial in ensuring quality, increasing plant output, and managing costs. With growing environmental restrictions and limited water availability, inadequate water treatment is no longer an option.

Metal processing and finishing water inevitably becomes contaminated with both reusable and waste materials that must be separated out. Parkson has the process expertise and specialized technologies for metal finishing water treatment. We efficiently extract these chemicals and materials from the wastewater in order to meet discharge and reuse requirements.

Beyond innovative treatment equipment, Parkson can provide entire turnkey systems for metal finishing companies including:

  • Supervisory control
  • Data acquisition
  • Remote data monitoring
  • Complete design, build, and operate (DBO) solutions

All of the systems mentioned above can be financed through Parkson to eliminate up front capital costs.

Filtration & Process Water Treatment

Headworks

Most sources of inlet water contain some level of solids or grit that must be removed prior to further filtration and water treatment for use in production processes. Parkson offers a wide range of screening and solids removal and dewatering technologies and solutions including in-channel and rotating or wedgewire screens, washing and dewatering technologies, and complete turnkey headwork system solutions. We can help to choose the optimal headworks solution to meet your specific inlet water screening and dewatering requirements.


Odor Control

Odor Control

Different phases of the wastewater treatment process can generate unpleasant odors that may require the uso of odor control systems. Parkson's overall treatment expertise includes the ability to accurately assess your treatment process to determine the actual source of the odors and not only provide the proper odor control equipment and systems to treat the source, but depending on the cause, we can possibly eliminate the issue by ensuring the treatment process is functioning effectively as well.


Chemical Feed

Chemical Feed

Depending on the application, certain points in the water and wastewater treatment process require chemical feed systems. Parkson can provide standard or customizable chemical feed solutions for applications such as pH control, coagulation, polymer dosing and blending, chemical neutralization and precipitation, to meet your chemical control needs.


Controls

Controls

As with any process, the controls are the brains that ensure the proper and efficient function of the overall system. Parkson's controls group can provide the technologies and services necessary to monitor, analyze, and effectively control the equipment and systems involved in nearly all water and wastewater treatment processes in order to optimize the efficiency and functionality of each application.

In-Process Treatment and Material Recovery

Metal finishing processes require specialized treatment solutions to be integrated into the process to reduce downstream wastewater treatment requirements as well as recovering valuable materials from process solutions for recycling and reuse. Treating waste from these processes can be particularly challenging and proper chemical treatment, filtration, and materials recycle and recover systems are essential. Parkson can provide treatment solutions for copper, nickel, and other heavy metals recovery, Electrolytic recovery, Chromium reduction, Cyanide removal, pH control and chemical dosing, Ion exchange, and reverse osmosis among other in process treatment requirements.


Solids Handling & Reduction

Solids Handling & Reduction

Almost all wastewater treatment produces residual solids during the treatment process and that sludge needs to be dewatered and reduced as much as possible before disposal. Parkson’s sludge handling and drying systems contain all of the necessary transfer and reducing equipment required in order to minimize solids disposal costs.


Wastewater

Wastewater Treatment

Almost all industries produce some type of wastewater, and as environmental regulations become increasingly stringent and the availability of water becomes more limited, proper wastewater treatment is essential for safe discharge or reuse in the production process. Depending on the type of wastewater generated, there are many different options available and it is crucial that the proper treatment system be applied to meet the regulatory demands and ensure the overall efficiencies of your plant. Parkson has been providing innovative industrial wastewater treatment solutions for 50 years and has the expertise and technical resources to provide the optimal solution to meet your specific industrial wastewater treatment needs.


Filtration & Sterilization

Filtration & Sterilization

The reuse of treated wastewater has become a necessity with rising incoming water costs, increasing discharge surcharges, and stringent effluent regulations. Whether the water will be recycled or it just need to meet stringent discharge restriction, Parkson can meet the need with system technologies such as continuous backwash filtration, media filtration, membrane filtration, deionization, or reverse osmosis. These solutions combined with sterilization or disinfectant systems such as chemical and UV treatment will provide you the quality of water required for reuse or to meet all environmental regulations.
