Chemical/Industrial 

Membrane filtration can play an integral role in processing difficult waste water streams to reduce BOD, COD and hydraulic loadings as well as producing a clean water source that can potentially be re-used within the plant and process.

Chemical applications extend to include filtration as a treatment in some processes.

Typical environmental applications include:

• Dairy and food plant waste stream treatment
• Potato flume water treatment
• Polishing of evaporator condensate
• Recovery and re-use of spent cleaning solutions

Many chemical processes also utilise membrane filtration for:

• Desalting, diafiltration and purification of dyes, pigments and optical brighteners
• Clean-up of rinse and wash water streams
• Concentration and dewatering of minerals such as kaolin clay, titanium dioxide and calcium carbonate
