Water Reuse Pilots

WATER REUSE PILOTS

Every wastewater is different.

We can conduct pilots on our small pilot systems that operate in the same way as the commercial equipment, so we can evaluate if our solution is right for your facility.

 

Porifera’s FO-RO systems can uniquely treat challenging wastewater applications:

  • Operate on liquids with high solids, pulps, free and emulsified oils and greases, high chemical oxygen demand (COD), high biological oxygen demand (BOD). Porifera is the only FO provider of spacer less elements suited to these applications.

  • Operate at high rejection and high efficiencies using a “draw solution” (i.e., table salt) that is easily recyclable using RO. Competing FO technologies require toxic draw solutions or allow too much leakage of the draw salt into the product.

  • Operate at temperatures up to 60 ºC. Standard FO & RO membranes cannot exceed 45 ºC, which negates potential energy savings in high temperature reuse applications (e.g., boiler feed, sterilization, or when reheating is required).

  • Operate at a wide range of pH (2-11), expanding the applicability of FO-based solutions, which in the past could not operate at low pH levels.
