Abstract
Since the early 2000s, industries have faced rising costs to acquire, manage, and dispose of metalworking fluids, as well as increased concern about pathogenic bacteria growing in metalworking processes. The need to reduce the impacts of these bacteria prompted ISTC’s Kishore Rajagopalan and colleagues to find a solution that would meet both environmental health and metalworking fluid reuse standards.
