• concentrate should be treated or collected

Membrane filtration: different types of membranes

There are several types of memebranes: tubular membranes, hollow-fiber membranes and spiral-wound membranes. Each type has its preferred field of application. The membranes must be and remain resistant to solvents, high temperatures and very different pH values. As a result, the new generation of membranes has also become increasingly efficient. Compared to the old generation of membranes, the replacement of membranes can be postponed longer and longer. Consequently, the high cost price of membranes can be compensated more and more.

Application areas of membrane techniques

• oil emulsion separation
• recycling of carwash water
• treatment of wastewater from the cosmetics, food and beverage industry
• reuse of process water
• rainwater recovery
• reuse of various effluents
• liquid degassing

Water treatment for reuse of process and waste waters

Companies are paying more and more for the discharge of wastewaters. The need to maximize the reuse of these wastewaters is increasing, especially for companies where water plays a major role in the production process (slaughterhouses, laundries, cosmetics production, food and beverage industry, textiles, etc.).

Deploying an RO plant allows a substantial portion of wastewater to be reused in the production process. As a result, your company can save substantially on water and discharge costs. Consequently, the investment amount can be recovered relatively quickly. Moreover, the operating cost is often significantly lower than the purchase price of city water. For example, depending on the customer’s specific requirements, this is only one-third of the purchase price of city water.

For each specific project, the feasibility is checked in advance through efficiency and dimensioning tests on site. If necessary, a test installation is deployed. The final system is completely custom designed for the customer. This always depends on the type of wastewater, the intended quality for reuse and the economic aspects.

The RO unit is mounted on a skid to form a compact unit, easily integrated into an existing wastewater treatment plant. The RO plant is a fully automated unit, fully remote-controlled and controllable.

Liquid degassing

Membranes can also be used to degasify water and liquids. The oxygen content of various process waters can thus be reduced to ppb levels. In a degassing unit, the gases dissolved in the liquid are removed from the liquid by means of so-called membrane contactors. The gases that can be removed are not only oxygen but also_CO2 and _NH3. The degassing is done under vacuum, with or without a stripping gas. Liquid degassing with membranes allows a very compact installation to fit into an industrial environment, without large modification costs and/or space requirements for the customer. Significant savings can be made in operational costs. For example, an industrial nitrogen grade can be used instead of a pure (and more expensive) variant. On an annual basis, this can save you a lot of money! In an industrial environment, degassing membranes are mainly used in the following applications:

• _O2 removal in process water down to ppb level
• _CO2 removal from various process waters
• Ammonia removal from various process waters
• removal of gases from beverages/liquids in the food industry
• corrosion control in industrial environment
• controlled carbon dioxide and nitrogen addition to beverages
