1 Very High Separation Performance: Reduction factor. 1,000,000 times = 99.9999% removal if required, independent of influent concentration.
2 Cost Competitive: Cost competitiveness proven compared with air stripping and activated carbon, steam stripping and biotreatment systems.
3 Low Energy Consumption:
- Low energy input to release hydrocarbons from MPPE particles (in situ regeneration)
- Energy consumption up to 50 times lower than steam stripping
4 Robust, No Fouling:
-
Anaerobic operation at ambient temperature. No interference from dissolved iron, heavy metals, surfactants, salt and polar compounds, and no scaling
-
No biological fouling because of periodic in situ regeneration by steam
5 Fully Automated:
6 Flexible Operation: Turn down ratio 0 – 100%. Higher and lower flows and concentrations can be treated. If the concentration Is 50% higher, effluent requirements can still be maintained with only 10% lower flow. At lower feed concentrations, higher flows can be treated while still meeting the effluent demand
7 Compact Equipment: Compared to existing technologies, the unit is compact with a small footprint.
8 Ideal for Upstream Process Integration: Because it is compact, robust, reliable, fully automated, remote controlled, easy to operate and flexible, it is ideal for process integrated applications.
9 Performance Guarantee during Operational Life: The MPPE material performance is guaranteed during the operational life of the unit irrespective of the number changes of the MPPE material
10 Environmental Benefits:
- Practically pure separated hydrocarbons for use/reuse
- Low energy consumption
- Low noise
- No addition of chemicals
- No emission to air
- No waste stream (e.g. sludge, iron hydroxide)
- Low waste from MPPE material
- Long lifetime
- Reuse of spent material
