Milwaukee Platers Join Forces to Help St Joseph Academy
Milwaukee-area plating and finishing shops helped St Joseph Academy with their annual golf outing, raising more than $45,000 to be used for building expansion.

St Joseph Academy is a school and daycare on Milwaukee’s south side. Most students come from low-income families that want a good faith-based education for their children. SJA does a terrific job with schoolwork and an even better job of teaching the children how to be loving, caring, and helpful human beings.
Reliable Plating Works president Jaime Maliszewski has chaired the golf outing for the past 15 years, and Cory Savage of Savage Solutions has been his co-chair for the past two years. Jaime and Cory, with a group of dedicated committee members, worked hard to make this event a success. 132 golfers, along with numerous sponsors, showed tremendous charity to the school. Donations helped raise over $45,000, which will be used to fund a major building expansion at SJA!
RPW and Elite had four teams at the event, and many of their customers and suppliers played as well. Other sponsors included Staffing Partners, Polco Metal Finishing, Savage Solutions, Hays Companies, Florida Cirtech, ChromeTech, First Business Bank, Waterstone Bank, Enthone, PNC Bank, Hunter Chemical, Ward & Kennedy, Quarles & Brady, Milport Chemical, John Haske, Metal Finishing Solutions, Micron Metal Finishing, So Clean Solutions, Scientific Control Labs, Midwest Finishing Systems, Inc., Phil Devlin and Sigma Environmental.

NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #122: Electrochemical Approaches to Treatment of PFAS in Plating Wastewater - 6th Quarterly Report
The NASF-AESF Foundation Research Board has selected a project on addressing the problem of PFAS and related chemicals in plating wastewater streams, studying PFAS destruction via electrooxidation and electrocoagulation. This sixth quarter report covers the continued assessment of eight perfluoroalkyl acids PFAAs most commonly found in wastewaters, by electro-oxidation with a Magnéli phase Ti4O7 anode across a range of anodic potentials in solutions, exploring the reaction mechanisms. To summarize, the PFAAs start to exhibit degradation behavior when the anodic potential reaches a level where water oxidation occurs, suggesting that the hydroxyl free radicals generated via water oxidation play a role in PFAA degradation.

NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #122: Electrochemical Approaches to Treatment of PFAS in Plating Wastewater - 7th Quarterly Report
The NASF-AESF Foundation Research Board has selected a project on addressing the problem of PFAS and related chemicals in plating wastewater streams, studying PFAS destruction via electrooxidation and electrocoagulation. Our last report described the results from experiments of EO with a Magnéli phase Ti4O7 anode on the degradation of eight perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs). In this seven quarter report, we describe work to further explore how the degradation of different PFAAs are related to their molecular structures.

Top 5 Areas to Consider Automation of Plating Operations
Automation for finishing operations can lead to improvements in process time, repeatability and consistency of quality. Yet, processes that make sense to explore for these operational efficiencies may not always be readily apparent.
