The latest filtration equipment focuses on efficiency
Ultrafiltration membranes for wastewater
Memthane is an anaerobic membrane bioreactor process that features a microbiological anaerobic process (excludes oxygen); this technology turn medium- to high-strength wastewater into energy and clean water that can be directly reused or discharged, Pentair said. The system was developed by Veolia Water Technologies’ subsidiary Biothane in partnership with Pentair X-Flow. The system’s Biothane reactor processes the wastewater and generates biogas. Pentair’s X-Flow ultrafiltration membranes separate the sludge, which remains rich in nutrients and can be used by local farmers as fertilizer, and produces clean water. Memthane significantly reduces wastewater treatment costs compared to conventional technologies. The pore size of the membranes delivers a permeate free of suspended solids.
