α – Discharge Compliance
Dive deeper into how Alpha can fortify your compliance strategy and enable absolute ownership over metals removal at your site.
ω – Bulk Metal Removal
Omega’s bulk recovery technology optimizes sustainability and metal recovery across mining and microelectronics applications.
γ – Oxidant Decomposition
Protect your assets and the environment with the Gamma system, engineered for safe abatement of oxidants to enhance water reuse.
ι – Onsite Stream Evaluation
The Iota is a 1:20 scale system for metals and peroxide removal across various industrial and laboratory applications.
Specialized System Configurations
Phi System
ElectraMet’s Phi System is purpose-built to remove nuisance metal ion impurities from mixed metal industrial process streams and production baths to sub-ppm levels, enhancing material purity, protecting yield, and ensuring final product specifications are achieved. Unlike ion exchange or chemical processes, Phi targets the specific metal ion without generating secondary waste or impacting yield.
Delta System
The ElectraMet Delta System operates as a high-efficiency coarse metal removal solution, deployed where traditional technologies struggle between moderate concentration ranges. Delta integrates into existing treatment trains as a pre-treatment or polishing step, improving removal reliability and operational efficiency without chemical waste generation.
Transforming Wastewater management to Circularity With Innovation & Resilience
ElectraMet designs and delivers systems to remove metals and oxidants from water streams to establish process controls for compliance risk mitigation, increased profit margin, and refining product purity.
ElectraMet’s system portfolio is acquired and implemented by customers to address specific challenges in manufacturing waters requiring impurity removal to improve process reliability, increase product quality, enable water reuse, and/or assure discharge compliance.
Unlike traditional water treatment, ElectraMet systems deliver the defined customer specification while producing no secondary waste or byproducts that upset downstream processes or product quality. Additionally, most metal impurities can be recovered and sold to recyclers at a profit to offset treatment costs and minimize carbon dioxide emissions.
Through this recovery process, a documentable and defendable sustainability impact is realized. Step into the future with ElectraMet and transform circularity at your site today.
Comparison with Traditional Methods
Drawbacks of Traditional Methods
Ion Exchange
Ion exchange has high operational costs, limited selectivity that can impact yield and/or require excessive backwashing, secondary waste generation, large space requirements, complex maintenance, lack of real-time process assurance, and failure induced by changes in flow or concentration
Chemical Coagulation
Chemical coagulation has over-feeds, leading to excess cost/waste, sludge disposal requiring hazardous transport and landfill deposit, large space requirements, complex maintenance, lack of real-time process assurance, and failure induced by changes in flow or concentration.
Membrane Filtration
Fouling and scaling leads to slower flow rates and increased maintenance, high energy consumption, limited removal, and questionable membrane longevity
ElectraMet Advantages
Targeted Metal Removal
Target and remove specific metal from your waste stream without impacting contaminants. Extract valuable precious earth metals at >99% purity such as copper to enable new revenue streams. Mitigate treatment costs and take advantage of regenerative cartridges.
Sustainability
We are transforming circularity by simultaneously recovering metals and destroying oxidants. These byproducts are harmful to the environment and subsequently require offsite hauling and disposal, much like traditional Industrial Wastewater Treatment treatment methods.
Proven Results
We focus on empowering customers to become the best in class at what they do. This includes meeting goals around revenue and operations, as well as sustainability.

Frequently Asked Questions
ElectraMet can recover metals at any concentration. Deployments have treated metals up to 200 g/L in solution.
ElectraMet distinguishes itself in industrial wastewater treatment through its innovative approach, advanced technologies, and commitment to sustainability. Unlike traditional methods, ElectraMet contracts to deliver specifications for its customers rather than “sell and move on”. ElectraMet focuses on selective metal recovery, utilizing modular and automated systems to extract metal impurities from production and wastewater streams. This selective approach ensures precise extraction, maximizes resource utilization, minimizes waste generation, and introduces the metals back into the economy, aligning with circular economy and sustainability principles.
Each system type incorporates similar technology with varied targets and/or concentration ranges. The system approach enables higher efficiency and specificity for the application type.
