Solution
With OPEX continuing to rise and operating efficiency declining due to constantly replacing polymer membranes, the client needed a more efficient wastewater treatment solution. With i2m’s innovative CERA~DUR ultrafiltration (UF) technology, the aerospace manufacturer was able to reduce their monthly disposal wastewater volume by 75%. Also, by replacing the existing polymer membranes with the i2m CERA~DUR ceramic hollow fiber membranes the client completely eliminated membrane replacement cost for the remainder of the project. (2014 – 2016). We also successfully met the discharge requirements with 100% retention of suspended solids and a permeate water containing less than 1 ppm TSS and less than 5 ppm of oil and grease.
