Description:
The Membralox Silverback Model 900 (Silverback Unit) is a microfiltration system for recycling used alkaline cleaning solutions (cleaners). Alkaline cleaning is performed on metal parts at different times during the manufacturing process to remove oils, coolants and other metalworking fluids prior to electroplating. The verification test evaluated the ability of the Silverback unit to remove oils and recover the alkaline cleaning chemistry. It was tested by CTC under the USEPA ETV Program for P2 Metal Finishing Technologies. The Silverback Unit was tested to evaluate and characterize the operation of the microfiltration system through measurement of various process parameters. Testing was conducted at Gates Rubber Company in Versailles, MO. Gates Rubber Company manufactures a wide range of hydraulic couplings and hose assemblies.
