Technology
Membranes
We use HFM membrane technology in two configurations: PVDF and PE. We integrate them into a variety of treatment applications: domestic and industrial wastewater, industrial process water, hospital wash water, potable water.
The membranes provide a superior membrane surface area to volume ratio. This feature allows the process equipment to occupy a smaller volume than those using any type of gravity sedimentation or other conventional methods. The small occupied volume reduces the required aeration volume, thus reducing energy consumption.
Water purification
We use the membranes for MBR applications, tertiary stage or water loaded with heavy metals. The MBR bioreactor is a combination of the activated sludge treatment process and membrane technology, where the latter are used to separate the solid from the liquid, thus eliminating secondary clarifiers.
Benefits
– High flow treated
– Low operating costs
– Simple operation
– No washing, cleans during airing
– Chlorine resistant
Surface water treatment
Membrane water filtration technology ensures high water quality. It uses fewer chemicals, a reduced volume and reduces waste matter compared to conventional water treatment processes. The treatment of surface water, some industrial process waters or rainwater is done using immersed modules.
Benefits
– Stable operation
– High tolerance to turbidity
– Low energy consumption
– Low vacuum operating pressure or differential pressure
– Membrane modules can be installed in existing pools
Drilling water treatment
Potability of drilling water, pretreatment of industrial or desalination water, treatment of industrial process water or recovery of metals from water are technological processes that are done using pressurized modules. HFM membranes can be arranged more compactly than tubular or flat membranes.
Benefits
– Stable operation
– Low energy consumption
– Compact modules
– High separation efficiency
Ozone
Ozone is one of the strongest oxidizers available on the market and is commonly used for water treatment. In addition to its oxidation capabilities, it is an environmentally friendly treatment method. Pollutants, dyes and odors are removed and microorganisms destroyed without creating harmful chlorinated by-products or significant residues. By breaking down oxygen, ozone provides an environmentally friendly alternative to chlorine oxidation, absorption or other separation processes.
Benefits
– Eliminates bacteria, viruses and most other organic and inorganic contaminants
– It can replace and significantly reduce the level of hazardous chemicals such as chlorine
– It acts as an occlusive agent that helps remove minerals such as iron and manganese
– It leaves no chlorinated by-products, no unpleasant chemical tastes or smells
– It is securely generated on-site and controlled on demand
– It does not generate the need to store and handle oxidizers and other chemicals
UV
Water disinfection by UV technology means the inactivation of microorganisms due to a process of photo-oxidation of the organism's DNA. UV radiation changes the DNA in cells and stops their ability to reproduce. More than 99.99% of all pathogens can be rendered harmless in a split second. UV disinfection has been proven to be effective against all pathogens, including parasites and viruses, without affecting the taste or smell of water.
Benefits
– Safer for those who operate the station, for the community served and for the environment
– Eliminates the risks associated with on-site storage and handling of hazardous chemicals
Chlorination
Chlorination is probably the most common method of removing microorganisms present in water, from the place of water production to the tap of the consumer. It is especially helpful when the supplied water comes from lakes and rivers. They may contain high levels of pathogens as a result of sewage discharges or untreated effluents. It can also be used for the disinfection of treated water from sewage treatment plants.
We provide consultancy and supply disinfection solutions that use chlorine-based components: chlorine gas (Cl2), sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and chlorine dioxide (ClO2).
Benefits
– Effectiveness against microorganisms in water
– Low cost
