Scanacon has been providing high efficiency acid retardation systems for the removal of dissolved metals from acid finishing processes for over 25 years. The Scanacon Acid Recovery (SAR) MiniFlex and Moduflex systems are unique in that their modular design allows for limitless expansion, flexibility and inherent redundancy –important considerations when choosing process equipment.

Operating in series with a process filtration apparatus or as a stand alone, an acid recovery system separates dissolved metal ions from the finishing solution and returns an acid-rich metal lean purified solution for reuse in the finishing process. Depending on process conditions, metals are removed from the acid solution with the loss of free acid limited from 5% to less than 15%.

Other acid-metal applications may demand a different approach. Scanacon can evaluate and supply equipment to most acid-metal processes where, for instance, removal of low concentrations of metal contaminants from concentrated acid streams are necessary or recovery of dilute acids from metal bearing processes is the goal.
