Filtration system designed for oily wastes
treatment of oily wastes before they leave the plant, according to
its manufacturer.
In recent years the food industry has been subjected to various environmental laws preventing excessive waste, water use and emissions - which can cost companies millions in fines.
Koch Membrane Systems said its Inducor and Inducor R-G tubular modules can be used for the ultrafiltration of industrial process streams and wastewater.
The modules have higher packing density and require less power than traditional tubular membranes, resulting in systems with a smaller footprint and reduced capital and operating costs, Koch claimed.
The Inducor modules are configured with one-half inch diameter tubules. The Inducor-G modules have one-inch diameter tubules. The open channel configurations are tolerant of high solids streams, including food waste and the activated sludge from membrane bioreactors, the company stated.
The membrane is compatible with most industrial waste water streams and is especially well suited for the treatment of oily wastes and metal hydroxide wastes, the company stated.
The Inducor tubular modules use the same ultrafiltration membrane that has been used with the company's FEG tubes and Ultra-Cor modules.
The modules use industry-standard threaded and Victaulic fittings. Because of their tubular configuration, the membranes handle system upsets well and can be mechanically cleaned using spongeballs.
The Inducor modules can be used for systems with flowrates of 100,000 gallons per day and higher.
