This case history spotlights an automated, zero-discharge water-reuse and chemical-recovery system at a metal-furniture manufacturing facility. It explains how the system recovers close to 100% of the plating and cleaning chemicals in the waste stream, enabling the plant to recover and reuse a major portion of the 150,000 gal/d of municipal water previously used. It also describes the system’s pumps — horizontal centrifugal pumps with all fluid-contact parts made of solid homogeneous Kynar polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF).
