Environmentally Greener Electroplating

Quality focused to do “well”— environmentally focused to do “good.”

Summit Plating is committed to delivering exceptional Industrial Electroplating results. We are also committed to being conscientious stewards of the environment.

Summit played an integral role in the dramatic improvement of the Naugatuck River region—a real success story about improving Environmental standards. We were a key contributor in the development of EPA and CT DEEP standard Total Mass Daily Loading, or “TMDL.” The TMDL program was initiated to comply with Federal standards for reducing environmental impact in accordance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, or “NPDES.” Dramatic improvements on effluent levels under CT DEEP/NPDES Permit requirements have helped contribute to the success of a Naugatuck River turnaround that we are proud to be part of.

Greener plating through recapturing, recycling and ongoing innovation.

Continuing our dedication to responsible, “greener” electroplating, we designed, engineered, and deployed an on-site waste water treatment system, or “WWTS.”  This advanced system treats and conserves our process waste solutions by removing metal and chemical bi-products, and then filtering remaining waste water to acceptable purification levels. The system also includes back-up containment and back-up power provisions, helping to meet and exceed federal and state requirements for this technology.

When we created our WWTS, it allowed us to meet strict Connecticut DEEP standards for waste-water discharge. Our ongoing investment in this system allows us to stay current with Environmental standards as they get increasingly more stringent, By doing this, we maintain our ability to effectively treat both traditional and new plating chemistries as they evolve.

By prioritizing Greener Plating Innovation, we help ensure our clients that they will experience continued, uninterrupted success for current and future electroplating needs.
