Electroplating Rinse Water Recycling System

An electroplating rinse water recycling system is a closed-loop industrial water treatment solution that uses advanced membrane filtration technology (UF + RO) to recover and reuse rinse water from plating production lines.

Electroplating production lines generate large volumes of rinse water containing heavy metals such as nickel, chromium, copper, and zinc. This wastewater cannot be directly discharged and must be treated before disposal.

For most electroplating facilities, wastewater management has become one of the highest operating costs due to:

Increasing wastewater discharge fees

Expensive chemical treatment consumption

Hazardous sludge disposal costs

Strict environmental compliance regulations (EPA / EU / local standards)

In many plants, thousands of liters of rinse water are discharged every day, resulting in both financial loss and environmental pressure.

Electroplating rinse water recycling is now a key requirement for cost reduction and sustainable manufacturing.

Key Specifications

The system is available as a skid-mounted modular unit for easy installation and expansion, or as a fully integrated turnkey wastewater recycling plant with chemical dosing and sludge dewatering.

JUNDA Closed-Loop Water Recovery Technology

Our system uses a multi-stage purification process designed specifically for electroplating environments.

Multi-Stage Treatment Process

1. Collection & Equalization Tank Balances flow rate and chemical concentration from multiple rinse tanks.

2. Pre-Filtration System Removes suspended solids and protects downstream membranes.

3. Ultrafiltration (UF) System Removes fine particles and organic impurities before RO treatment.

4. Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membrane System Core separation process that removes dissolved heavy metals and contaminants.

Recovery efficiency up to 95%

5. Permeate Water Storage Tank Stores purified water for reuse in rinsing processes.

6. Concentrate Recovery Loop Concentrated solution containing metals can be returned to process baths or further treated.

Technical Process Flow

Our closed-loop water recovery system follows a proven treatment sequence:

The reverse osmosis rinse water recovery process typically achieves 85-95% water recovery, with the remaining concentrate (5-15%) containing concentrated plating chemicals. Depending on application, this concentrate can be returned to process baths, further concentrated via evaporator, or treated in an existing wastewater system.

Key Advantages of JUNDA System

Water Saving (Up to 95%)

Reduces fresh water consumption and sewage discharge costs significantly.

Chemical Recovery

Concentrated plating chemicals such as nickel, copper, and chromium can be partially recovered and reused.

Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD Ready)

Can be configured into a full ZLD system with evaporator integration.

Sludge Reduction

Reduces hazardous sludge generation compared to conventional chemical treatment systems.

Fully Automatic PLC Control

Real-time monitoring, remote operation, and data logging available.

Fast ROI (12–24 Months)

Savings from water, chemical, and waste treatment costs enable rapid payback.
