Plating Rinse Tank Algae Control

CASE STUDY

Company has a large storage tank (3000 gal) for deionized water used in the plating process of electronic parts.

Their problem was the growth of algae in this tank and the necessity to empty and clean the tank with javel about every two weeks and in summer sometimes every week. They cannot use any chemicals in this water to control the growth of algae (i.e. algaecides)

An ION STICK was installed in the deionized water storage tank and has effectively controlled the growth of algae (same type of installation as for starch storage)

Company has many small (100-200 gal) rinse tanks in the plating shop with the same algae problem. Rinse water continuously overflows at a small flow.

An ION STICK (IS-750) was installed in an expansion chamber that was installed on the incoming fresh water line to control the algae in the various rinse tanks fed from this water line (1" pipe).
