The integrated membrane treatment system for electroplating wastewater is a high-efficiency solution designed specifically for the electroplating industry. It combines membrane electrodialysis, ultrafiltration, MVR (mechanical vapor recompression) evaporation, and reverse osmosis technologies to effectively remove heavy metals and organic pollutants while enabling wastewater resource recovery.
The system concentrates heavy metals and COD in the wastewater, produces reusable freshwater, and achieves near-zero discharge, significantly reducing environmental impact and water consumption.
Electroplating wastewater first undergoes sedimentation, oxidation, and ultrafiltration pretreatment to remove suspended solids and large molecular pollutants. The pretreated water then enters a homogeneous membrane electrodialysis unit, where selective ion transport concentrates heavy metals and salts. Once the concentration reaches approximately 12%, the concentrated water is sent to the MVR evaporation system for further concentration. The recovered freshwater is treated by reverse osmosis and reused in production processes.
By combining membrane separation and evaporation technologies, the system effectively reduces wastewater volume while enabling resource recovery.
