Environmental Pollution Control Alternatives: Centralized Waste Treatment Alternatives for the Electroplating Industry

摘要

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has conducted studies to help the electroplating industry identify methods of complying with wastewater pretreatment regulations. The report is a compilation of the results of recent EPA studies. The alternatives described are categorized by the term 'centralized treatment,' which refers to treating the wastes of many industrial generators at centralized facilities. Centalized treatment results in considerable savings, which are reflected in reduced costs of compliance for individual platers.
