Membrane Filtration

Separation processes that utilize the difference in permeability of water constituents:

Reverse Osmosis (RO) | Nanofiltration (NF) | Microfiltration (MF) | Ultrafiltration (UF)

• Reverse Osmosis & Nanofiltration
  are primarily used to remove ions & are widely used in softening water
• Microfiltration & Ultrafiltration
  separate suspended particles (colloidal matter, micro-organisms, & viruses) from the water
• Membrane Bioreactor (MBR)
  • Utilizes both MF/UF and a bioreactor to treat wastewater
  • Capable of operating at high mixed liquor suspended solids concentration
  • Higher volumetric loading rate & higher effluent quality when compared to conventional activated sludge sewage treatment systems
  • Removes the need for primary & secondary clarifiers
