Waste / Coolant Filtration

Mikro Industrial Finishing offers a variety of waste stream filtration system solutions for industrial applications.  Mikro waste stream filtration equipment provides cost-effective solutions for today’s modern facility waste management issues. Through careful process testing, we can recommend top products to improve the production process from beginning to end. Our team of engineers and industry leaders analyzes ways in which your waste filtration systems can be optimized to reduce costs and improve peak performance measures over time.


Proper waste filtration systems can reduce contaminants in metalworking fluid to a near untraceable level. No two filtration systems are alike, which is why Mikro recommends working with a professional to determine the right equipment for your facility needs.


We offer a variety of product lines from top manufacturers to suit the needs of your facility. In addition to our process testing services, we also have an industry-leading Job Shop to offer vibratory finishing and deburring needs.

Waste/coolant filtration

 

Filtration is an essential process for treating industrial wastewater and process water reuse applications. The filtration process is done to ensure that the water for a specific industrial application is of the right quality. Proper waste filtration systems can reduce contaminants in metalworking fluid to a near untraceable level.

 

There are several types of filtration systems used for the filtration of coolants and wastewater. Some of which include; 

 

Ultrafiltration Systems

Ultrafiltration is a pressure-driven water purifying process. It uses a membrane to remove contaminants like hydroxides, suspended solids, emulsions, emulsified oils, and other high-molecular-weight solutes from wastewater and coolants. They can reduce oily water volumes by as much as 98% without using any chemical additives and, they are often used as a precursor to reverse osmosis filtration. 

 

Reverse Osmosis Systems 

Reverse osmosis systems remove contaminants from the water via a semipermeable membrane. It requires high pressure to achieve desired results and can remove up to 99.5% of contaminants from the most challenging wastewater applications. It is mostly used for metalworking and surface treatments. 

 

Paper Bed Systems

This type of filtration system operates by gravity and uses paper media, either permanent or disposable to provide a barrier that filters the solids. Paper bed filters can extend a coolant’s life by 27% and are very good for increasing surface finish quality. 

 

Solid Bowl Centrifuges

As the name implies, this type of filtration system works by utilizing a centrifuge to separate solids from liquids. And it is highly suitable for processes that require the removal of fines such as metal processing. 

 

No two filtration systems are alike, which is why Mikro recommends working with a professional to determine the right equipment for your facility’s needs.
