Inspected to perfection. Discharged clean.

In-house NDT labs and manufacturing lines produce silver-rich and heavy-metal wastewater. Metafix treats both, automatically.

The challenge

Precision and accountability.
Down to the wastewater.

Every part used in flight must perform flawlessly under extreme conditions, so aerospace is built on rigorous inspection and traceability. Radiographic testing lets engineers inspect internal structures without damaging critical parts, and many manufacturers now run their own in-house NDT labs for control over quality, turnaround and data security.

Those labs process large volumes of X-ray film and produce silver-rich wastewater, while plating and finishing lines produce heavy metals. Metafix mixes chemistry to spec, recovers the silver and treats heavy metals to under 1 ppm, with clean, compliant discharge.

FAQ

Aerospace,
questions answered.

Need something more specific? Talk to our team or email sales@metafix.com.

Which Metafix systems do aerospace facilities use?

The BCMS and MBX-1000 for NDT film processing, and the RT3 for plating, anodizing and finishing wastewater.

How is chromium and nickel wastewater treated?

The RT3 captures chromium, nickel and copper to under 1 ppm, with no chemicals and zero hazardous sludge.

Do we get paid for the recovered silver?

Yes, on silver from film processing. The filters come back to Metafix for refining, and we pay you for the silver recovered.

Do the systems fit existing floor space?

They are compact: the MBX-1000 sits in a 48″ × 36″ footprint and the RT3 unit is 20″W × 24″D × 60″H.

How do we keep records for compliance?

Metatrax monitors every system 24/7 and sends email alerts and activity reports.
