Membranes

1- Reverse Osmosis Membranes

Reverse osmosis (RO) membranes are used as a filtration method to remove dissolved solids from water by applying pressure to the solution when it is on one side of a selective membrane. The low TDS water is the permeate and the high TDS water is the concentrate.

Types:

  1. Standard Brackish Water Membranes
  2. Low Energy Brackish Water Membranes
  3. Ultra Low Energy Brackish Water Membranes
  4. Fouling Resistant Membranes
  5. Low Fouling Membranes
  6. Seawater Membranes

2- Ultrafiltration Membranes

Ultrafiltration (UF) membranes are pressurized membrane filtration process that is designed to remove turbidity, suspended solids, bacteria, etc.

Membranes available in different MOCs – PVDF / PES / PE / PAN

Membranes available in different flow configuration – Inside-Out / Outside-In

3- Nanofiltration Membranes

Nanofiltration (NF) membranes are primarily used to separate low molecular weight organics and multivalent salts from monovalent salts and water.

Applications:

  1. Softening
  2. Colour removal
  3. Product concentration
  4. Dye desalting
  5. Dairy applications

4- Membrane Bioreactor (MBR)

Membrane bioreactor (MBR) is the combination of a membrane process like microfiltration or ultrafiltration with suspended growth bioreactor. MBR is widely used in sewage treatment and industrial wastewater secondary treatment plants.

Advantages:

  1. Reduced footprint, by eliminating secondary clarifiers and media tertiary filtration. 
  2. The process produces exceptional effluent quality, capable of meeting the most stringent water quality requirements.
  3. Modular schematic that allows for ease of expansion and configuration flexibility.
  4. Robust and reliable operation and reduced downstream disinfection requirements.

 

5- FORWARD OSMOSIS MEMBRANES

Forward Osmosis is the revolutionary process which uses a semi permeable membrane to separate water from dissolved solids and ions. The system uses the osmotic pressure difference between the feed solution on one side of membrane and a draw solution with a higher osmotic potential (i.e. higher TDS, higher salinity) on the other side of membrane.

Advantages of Forward Osmosis (FO):

  1. High water recovery
  2. Low operational pressure
  3. Low energy consumption per unit of water recovered
  4. Low operation and maintenance costs
  5. Less fouling and scaling (High COD Tolerance)
  6. Ability to treat complex wastewater
  7. Modular structure
