Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:128171

The WMAC team at the Univestiy of Louisville performed an assessment at a plant that manufactures rotogravure printing cylinders from new stock and customers returns. Used cylinders and new cylinders undergo surface preparation, plating, and image transfer operations. The team`s report, detailing findings and recommendations, indicated that process wastewater and wastewater treatment sludge are generated in large quantities and that significant cost saving could be realized by recovering plating chemicals from wastewater.
