Koch Membrane Systems To Showcase MegaMagnum RO System And Puron Submerged Modules At ACE08
Koch Membrane Systems, Inc. (KMS), a world-class developer and manufacturer of innovative membranes and filtration systems, will showcase its MegaMagnum reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) systems for industrial and municipal applications and its PURON submerged membrane modules for large-scale membrane bioreactor (MBR) applications in booth #435 at the ACE ‘08 Expo, AWWA's Annual Conference & Exposition at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, from June 8th-12th, 2008.
The MegaMagnum RO and NF systems utilize 18" diameter MegaMagnum membrane elements, the world's largest spiral-wound elements, to significantly reduce the cost, footprint, and installation time of municipal and industrial water treatment systems. MegaMagnum systems require only half of the floor space compared to a rack with 8" membrane elements, and utilize one-seventh the number elements to produce the same water quantity and quality at the same fouling rate as standard 8"elements operating at similar fluxes and pressures. This allows for an 80 percent reduction in the required number of connections and O-rings, thereby increasing reliability and further reducing costs.
The pre-engineered packaged systems enable fast installation and start-up. These systems are available in four configurations, with nominal flow capacity ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 million gallons per day. To facilitate shipment and installation, the systems are mounted on one or two skids, depending on the system size. KMS has also developed a special system for easy loading and unloading of the large elements.
MegaMagnum systems provide an ideal solution for a variety of large-scale industrial and municipal RO and NF applications, such as brackish water desalination, removal of inorganic contaminates (e.g. nitrates, arsenic and radium), softening, organic removal, water reuse, high-quality process water production and wastewater recycling.
The 1500 square meter PURON module is designed for MBR applications and features greater membrane packing density, lower energy costs for aeration, and simplified installation while providing even greater compatibility with other commercially available systems. Additional features such as an optimized permeate extraction manifold and air supply lines reduce the number of piping connections during installation. For additional flexibility, the new product line enables users to easily retrofit the advanced PURON technology into systems with comparably sized modules.
