WATER MEMBRANES RESOURCES

  • Hauling wastewater is one of the most expensive and least sustainable means of managing wastewater, significantly impacting the environment through carbon emissions, and drastically increasing operational costs. As industries strive to meet environmental and economic goals, finding sustainable wastewater treatment methods is needed — now more than ever.

  • Per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS) continue to dominate the conversation as an emerging contaminant of concern due to their potential for adverse human health effects and continued regulation. This group of chemicals can be found in a wide variety of consumer products and drinking water.
  • Desalination plants across the globe are turning seawater into fresh drinking water. Yet this solution is not as simple or flawless as it sounds. The process has its own set of hurdles, such as high costs and environmental impacts. So what makes us keep chasing after desalination despite the challenges?
  • In the realm of advanced filtration technologies, spiral membranes have emerged as a revolutionary solution, transforming the landscape of various industries. These innovative membranes, characterized by their unique spiral-wound configuration, offer enhanced efficiency and versatility in separation processes. This article delves into the principles, applications, and advancements that make spiral membranes a cornerstone in the world of filtration.
  • Ever gazed at the vast expanse of the ocean and thought, "How to desalinate seawater using reverse osmosis? Can we really convert this seemingly endless source of saltwater into freshwater?" The answer is a resounding yes!
  • New electronic devices, electric vehicles (EVs), or other cool technologies bring us delightful conveniences, but they also induce some headaches. Metal wastewater streams, a byproduct of the manufacturing processes of microelectronics, EVs, and a whole host of other industrial processes, are no different and pose their own challenges.

  • Membranes have long been proven effective for a variety of applications, but certain other applications pose difficulties for the technology, mostly due to O&M concerns. Next-generation membranes, however, have the ability to overcome traditional challenges — just in time to meet requirements for greater contaminant removal and sustainability.

  • Global water usage has increased multifold over the recent decades due to various factors, including consistent population growth, changing consumption patterns, and fast-paced economic growth.

  • This white paper will explore how the BiTurbo, a revolution in high recovery RO, optimizes membrane performance and reduces total cost of water. 

WATER MEMBRANES SOLUTIONS

  • The Enviroquip® MBR System

    Submerged Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) technology for wastewater treatment and reuse to meet the most stringent nutrient limits. 

  • Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactors (MABR)

    This revolutionary aerobic wastewater treatment solution is modular and reduces energy usage by up to 90% compared to conventional treatment.

  • 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactors

    Commonly used for carbon dioxide removal, deoxygenation, nitrogenation and carbonation, 3M Liqui-Cel Membrane Contactors are used in a wide variety of industries to add and remove dissolved gas.

  • BioBarrier® Membrane BioReactor (MBR) & HSMBR

    Bio-Microbics introduces a new generation of wastewater treatment solutions, the BioBarrier® HSMBR® (High Strength Membrane Bioreactor), to help meet the increasingly stringent needs of specialized applications. The membranes and processes used in this advanced system act as an impenetrable physical barrier for nearly all common pollutants found in wastewater today. The advanced technology offers the highest quality effluent possible on the market.  The BioBarrier® MBR was the first system to be approved for water reuse (NSF/ANSI Std 350, class R) by the NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) International.

  • Aspiral™ Packaged Wastewater Treatment Solution (MABR)

    Aspiral™ is a smart, packaged wastewater treatment solution based on the Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor (MABR) technology.
