Process water streams are treated upstream and end of pipe for possible reuse of water in the production process, or for discharge to surface water or to site/community biological wastewater treatment.
Typical Challenges MPPE Can Meet:
- High influent concentrations
- High reduction factors
- Varying concentrations and compositions
- Varying flows
- Varying/wide pH range
- Presence of salts, surfactants, heavy metals, alcohols, monomer residues, pre-polymers etc.
Extra Benefits Include:
- Small footprint
- Upstream integrated operation with remote control
- Scope for adding other process- and groundwater streams, for treatment in one unit
- Reduced sludge formation in biotreatment
- Modular set up for large flows (thousands of m3/hr)
Removal of total spectrum of non-polar and polar organics proven in practice:
Non-polar toxic non-biodegradable compounds and polar biodegradable compounds are removed by MPPE in series with biotreatment.
Full turnkey contracting is possible, as is partnering with local biotreatment suppliers.
