Increasing efficiency and quality in municipal wastewater recycling.
Reducing the energy consumption of a reverse osmosis operation while maintaining the permeate quality is a delicate balancing act. Municipal wastewater treatment plants often use conventional anti-fouling brackish water membranes to improve operational stability. However, these membranes have high rejection rates and are not energy efficient.
Aquaporin’s solution is the Aquaporin Inside® CLEAR series. Utilizing biomimicry, advanced membrane chemistry and smart element design, Aquaporin Inside® CLEAR membranes bring energy efficiency, stable operation and high permeate quality to municipal reverse osmosis wastewater recycling.
Lower pressure reduces energy use by 30%. A 30% reduction in energy consumption results in important potential benefits for companies and local authorities running municipal wastewater recycling operations. At a 100,000 cubic meters a day wastewater treatment plant, Aquaporin Inside® CLEAR Plus BWRO membranes could deliver savings of more than 4,000,000 kWh per year compared to conventional membranes, while still ensuring high permeate quality.
