Green Production Technology for General Metal Finishing (GMF)
Next to the environmentally responsible chemical products also Atotech's auxiliary equipment supports the effort towards "greener" production with ion exchange technologies for Cr(III) passivates, electrolytic nickel and trivalent chrome plating electrolytes. Metal recovery systems for electrolytic nickel and a regeneration system for acid zinc electrolytes are offered as well and last but not least large electroless nickel installations benefit from Atotech's state-of-the-art and patented electrodialysis system.
Using Atotech's Production Technology demonstrate that besides the cost and technology advantages there are also benefits for environmental protection. Greener production supports customers in reducing their environmental footprint and helps to be more profitable in a sustainable way.
Reduction in raw material, chemistry, energy and water consumption, but also increased process stability and improvements in product quality can be achieved by aligning Atotech's green technologies to the customers' manufacturing process.
Atotech's Auxiliary Systems for Greener Production:
- EDEN® - Electrodialysis System for Continuous EN Production
- DynaChrome® - Integrated Production Technology for Hard Chrome
- Tricotect® - Regeneration Technology for Cr(VI)-free Passivates for Continuous Removal of Fe and Zn
- ZYpHEX® - Regeneration System for High Throughput Acid Zinc Electrolytes
- Reflectalloy® ZNA XL and Zinni AL 450 XL - Membrane Anode Technology for Alkaline Zinc Nickel Electrolytes
- Recotect® - Regeneration System for Alkaline Zinc Nickel Electrolytes
- Nikotect® - Recycling Technolgy for Nickel Electrolytes
