There are different types of wastewater equipment supplies used in different applications. Some supplies are too expensive and too large and can only be used in industries. Here are some of the top industrial wastewater equipment.
Ultrafiltration systems
Ultrafiltration systems make use of a pressure-driven process that removes metal hydroxides, emulsified oils, dispersed materials, emulsions, and other large molecular weight impurities from water with the help of a membrane. Ultrafiltration excels at the clarification of solutions containing bacteria, suspended solids and high concentrations of macromolecules including water and oil.
Ultrafiltration systems are designed to substantially reduce oily water by up to 98% without the use of chemicals. These systems can remove small fines in tumbling and deburring operations, which allows soap solution and water to be recycled. When calculating the disposal and heating expenses, industries can see a reduction of detergent and water costs by as much as 75% and a reduction in water disposal costs by up to 90%. For these reasons, ultrafiltration membrane technology is becoming the process of choice over traditional methods.
Distillation and vacuum evaporation
Evaporation is a natural process and a clean separation technology. It is recognized as the best technique in several treatment processes. It removes water from the contaminants or impurities rather than removing the contaminants from the water. This makes it a unique water treatment process.
No other treatment technology can treat water and attain such high recovery of water and concentration rates than vacuum evaporators, which speed up the natural evaporation process to distil and treat industrial wastewater. When choosing the right distillation or vacuum evaporation wastewater treatment systems, you have three primary options – hot water or cold water, heat pumps, and mechanical vapour recompression.
Reverse osmosis systems
With reverse osmosis (RO) technology, solids and impurities are removed from water with the help of a semipermeable membrane, which allows the water to pass but leaves most of the dissolved impurities. The reverse osmosis membranes require a high pressure of water and greater than osmotic pressure to achieve the desired result. The water that passes through the reverse osmosis membrane is known as the permeate. The dissolved salts are called the concentrate and are usually rejected by the reverse osmosis membrane.
A properly designed and operated reverse osmosis system can remove up to 99.5% of incoming dissolved impurities and salts as well as virtually all suspended and colloidal matter from the most challenging feed water and water applications. For industrial, surface treatment and metalworking applications, reverse osmosis technology is the final process after ultrafiltration or wastewater chemical treatment.
Paper bed filters
These are special types of filters that work by gravity. They utilize disposable paper media to produce a positive barrier that gets rid of solids from the free-flowing industrial process liquids. The paper bed filters are good for applications that involve low to medium removal of nonferrous and ferrous metals as well as inorganic and organic contaminants such as rubber, glass and plastic. With these wastewater equipment supplies; paper bed filters can extend the tool life by an average of 27%.
