What is the best way to treat Computer to Plate (Ctp) waste from the development of Agfa silver based plates?
Since the effluent has a high pH and silver content the only viable option has been hauling, which is expensive, requires storage and ultimately only transfers the problem elsewhere.
Today, Metafix offers the only real alternative: the Metafix Ctp pH Control–R4–Ag System. This is not just a machine, it is a waste management and tracking system that manages and monitors Ctp effluent allowing generators to safely discharge this chemistry On-Site!
The Metafix Ctp pH Control–R4–Ag SystemTM collects, measures and neutralizes the pH of the waste effluent using a specially formulated neutralizing agent, MetaAidTM.
After neutralization the silver is then removed by the two Mix Columns allowing the effluent to be safely discharged On-Site. It’s fully automatic so there is no storage and no handling of hazardous waste chemicals by your employees.
Each Ctp pH Control installation is tracked in our MetaTraxTM (Environmental Management Systems) database. Volume Reports, Incident Reports and Sample Discharge Results can be obtained online or we can issue reports when requested.
As part of our integrated MetaTraxTM Service Plan, Metafix will monitor your system. We will track consumables and maintenance while ensuring that the Metafix Ctp-pH Control-R4-Ag SystemTM is working as hard as you are.
