Advanced Circuits Receives 3rd Gold Award from Metro Wastewater Reclamation District.AURORA, Colo. -- Advanced Circuits, the country's leading source for quick-turn printed circuit boards, announced today it was awarded a Gold Award from the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District Reclamation districts are a form of special-purpose districts in the United States (and possibly other countries) which are responsible for reclamining and/or maintaining land that is threatened by permanent or temporary flooding for agricultural, residential, commercial, or (MWRD MWRD Metropolitan Water Reclamation District ) of Colorado for the third time. The Gold Award signifies 100 percent compliance with pretreatment pretreatment, n the protocols required before beginning therapy, usually of a diagnostic nature; before treatment. pretreatment estimate, n See predetermination. requirements and a demonstrated commitment to environmental excellence. Advanced Circuits, and the 14 other winners, are distinguishing themselves as environmentally cautious, going above and beyond regulatory requirements Regulatory requirements are part of the process of drug discovery and drug development. Regulatory requirements describe what is necessary for a new drug to be approved for marketing in any particular country. . By doing so, they demand less of the Metro District's Pretreatment Program and set a good example for others. Advanced Circuits is being recognized for its continual efforts to minimize pollution and waste through the transportation of spent materials to off-site locations for recycling. Additionally, Advanced Circuits drums up spent copper etchant solution, collects excess copper panel frames and waste pieces for off-site reclamation. The company also installed a new pumice pumice (pŭm`ĭs), volcanic glass formed by the solidification of lava that is permeated with gas bubbles. Usually found at the surface of a lava flow, it is colorless or light gray and has the general appearance of a rock froth. scrubber system to reduce the amount of corrosive chemistry used to prep circuit boards for subsequent chemical processing steps and a new etcher etch v. etched, etch·ing, etch·es v.tr. 1. a.

"Printed circuit manufacturers are historically seen as damaging to our environment," said John Yacoub, Advanced Circuits President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "One of our main goals at Advanced Circuits is to minimize our negative effects on the environment and allow customers to be confident they are working with an environmentally conscious manufacturing partner." The Metro Wastewater Reclamation District is the wastewater treatment authority for most of metro Denver. The Metro District serves about 1.5 million people in a 380-square-mile service area that includes Denver, Arvada, Aurora, Lakewood, Thornton, Westminster, and more than 45 sanitation and water districts. The Metro District treats about 130 million gallons of wastewater a day and discharges the treated water into the South Platte River South Platte River River, Colorado and western Nebraska, U.S. The river rises in central Colorado and flows southeast and then northeast across the Nebraska boundary to join the North Platte River and form the Platte River. The South Platte is 442 mi (711 km) long. where it makes up nearly 90 percent of the River for nine months of the year. "We are happy to receive recognition for our environmental efforts," said Yacoub. "Advanced Circuits will continue to find ways to reduce our impact on the environment while still providing the quality circuit boards our customers are accustomed to."
