Filtration off metal-finishing solutions

The different factors that need to be kept in mind while selecting a filter system for a particular metal-finishing process tank are discussed. Choosing a filter that best addresses all the variables ensures more consistent plating results and requires minimum amount of attention. The process, tank size and filtration rate required, and any other in-plant or process-related considerations should be kept in mine while deciding on the purchase of any filter. Deciding on the filter media best suited to the operation is an important consideration after the size of the filter needed has been decided upon.
