Description

Compared to alternative wastewater treatment methods such as adsorption, coagulation/flocculation, usage of aerated/aerobic lagoons, and many others that enable the removal of certain types of contaminants and the creation of a large amount of waste at the end of the process, membrane pressure processes enable the removal of a wide range of contaminants and the generation of very small amounts of waste at the end of the process. In this way, the wastewater can be brought to a high quality that enables further use, for example, in the production process. Membrane pressure processes such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis are gaining more and more popularity in wastewater treatment processes. Apart from creating a small amount of waste, this technology does not require the use of chemicals during processing, which makes it an environmentally friendly technology.
