Download The Guide To Water Filtration In Industrial Processes

Modern membrane technologies allow for the treatment of industrial wastewater solutions to be managed by an all in one system.

Dependent on the water issue and the quality of water you want to achieve, multiple units can be combined to create a bespoke water solution for your industrial process.

Industrial wastewater is mainly treated through the use of membranes; as water passes through, impurities are captured, leaving you with clean water to re-enter the water cycle or reuse in production.

More traditional treatments include the use of harsh chemicals; rising costs and growing health and safety hazards are seeing a decline in these methods.

What Industrial Wastewater Treatments Are Available?

There are a variety of wastewater treatments available for industrial processes, sometimes a combination of systems are put in place dependent on the water issue.

Wastewater treatments used in industrial processes:

• Reverse Osmosis (RO)
• Water Recycling Units
• Ceramic Filtration
• Ultrafiltration
• Nanofiltration
• Coarse Filtration
• UV Light

Reverse Osmosis

Reverse osmosis is becoming increasingly popular in wastewater management within the industrial process due to the many benefits it has. Its capable of rejecting 99.9% of bacteria, making it ideal for the use in pharmaceuticals pure water systems.

RO systems manage wastewater and themselves, as they are self-containing self-cleaning units. RO treats wastewater by using pressure to make the water pass through semi-permeable membranes, removing impurities as it passes.

Its doesn’t use any chemicals and requires very little maintenance, just a daily check by onsite personnel. Making RO an incredibly sustainable and green option for industrial wastewater management.

RO is already being used heavily in the automotive and aerospace industry in finishing processes to achieve precise water specifications to ensure the highest quality of the production parts.
