Environmental Benefits:
The environmental impact from use of the HCRU is very significant in that the process solution is never depleted due to normal process contaminants.
Specific benefits are:
* Oxidizes trivalent chromium to the hexavalent state
* Extracts dissolved metal contaminants from the process solution
* Maintains consistency of process solution resulting in uniform processing
* Lowers solution viscosity which reduces rinsewater dragout contamination
* Eliminates downtime due to spent solution change out
* Eliminates fresh bath make-up chemical cost
* Eliminates the ever increasing cost of hazardous waste disposal and associated liabilities
