Surface treatment processes (plating, anodizing, etc.) generate huge volumes of rinsing water contaminated with toxic metals (silver, copper, zinc, chromium, nickel, cadmium, etc.). Conventional physical-chemical technology involves the use of a variety of hazardous chemicals, and generates large amounts of sludge, often disposed of in landfills.

RT2 technology has several advantages:

• Recovers metals in recoverable form
• No mud to dispose of
• Completely automated: eliminates health and safety issues
• Very competitive operating costs
• Uniform environmental compliance
