New White Paper - SmartFlow Technologies Product-Water Recovery click to download
SmartFlow Technologies has provided systems to filter customer's waste streams. Customers come to us to clean up their waste streams initially to satisfy discharge requirements or to eliminate fees or fines for excess BOD/COD components. After initial testing we have found the SmartFlow systems are able to capture valuable components in the waste stream such as product or byproducts of the manufacturing process.
SmartFlow has been able to harvest the valuable components and provide the customers with improved product yield on a plant wide basis or a new revenue stream derived from capturing the process by product. These instances are literally "Trash to Treasure" applications where we turn a waste cost into a company revenue.
When applied to waste streams, ConSep® filtration can provide a number of benefits.
Suspended solids removal | Product recovery |
Dissolved solids removal | COD/BOD reduction |
Reduce/Eliminate penalty/fees for waste stream composition | Generate water for reuse |
By selecting the right membrane to incorporate into the ConSep® modules, SmartFlow can develop waste water clean-up performance to match your process needs. By combining a NF/RO system with the waste water systems SmartFlow can generate high quality water for reuse within your process or alternative uses within your plant operations.
A few examples of waste water processing with ConSep® filters at the lab level are below. The videos demonstrate the capability of the ConSep® platform rather than a particular customer application. The ConSep® platform is linearly scalable, so these and similar dewatering processes can be scaled to any production volume.
