WATER MEMBRANES RESOURCES

  • Discover how Aquapolo Ambiental tackled RO membrane biofouling with HOD™ UV technology, achieving 30-35% longer membrane life, reduced chemical use, and enhanced water reuse efficiency.

  • Read about how the installation of the HOD UV technology has been a viable non-chemical means for biological control and membrane protection for Trimble County.

  • 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.

  • 3M™ High Flow Filter System

    High performance media in an innovative design. The 3M™ High Flow Filter System is a result of 3M's extensive filtration experience applied to delivering high flow filter technology in a compact design. For those customers who want filtration efficiency and a small footprint, 3M High Flow filter system may be the right filtration solution.

  • EnviQ™ Submerged Ultrafiltration Membrane

    QUA’s EnviQ™ flat sheet submerged ultrafiltration membranes have been specially developed to improve the ease of operation and maintenance of MBR facilities. EnviQ’s innovative design offers ultrafiltration quality product water with a stronger and more rugged PVDF flat sheet membrane. The unique features in EnviQ consist of reverse diffusion and specially designed air diffusers, which maximize scrubbing efficiency, lowers pressure and reduces cleaning.

  • CSM Nanofiltration Membrane Elements

    CSM NF membranes selectively removes divalent and monovalent ions, making it ideal for a wide range of applications. Typical uses include production of food & beverage, dye recovery, and water softening and removal of specific impurities (i.e. color, DBP, THM) for potable use.

  • Ultrafiltration For Municipal Drinking Water

    The HFU-B2315AN ultrafiltration (UF) module is a 'plug and play' technology for easy replacement of common MF skid sizes. 

  • Toray MBR NHP-Series MBR

    As part of the Toray MBR series, the NHP (New High Performance) module features thin membrane flat sheets that are densely packed into easily interchangeable cassettes. These cassettes allow for a higher packing density than what was originally thought possible with flat plate designs. The thin membranes are also highly flexible and allow for more movement, resulting in increased vibrations during aeration. This helps dislodge sludge and improve cleaning efficiency, all with less energy use.
