TRANSCRIPT
6 Advantages of SiC Ultrafiltration in the Power Generation
Industry
Our Solution SiC Ceramic membranes Filter & retain heavy metals and particles within the ultrafiltration range. Extremely robust, chemically resistant, able to withstand high temperatures, and ability to handle varying feed conditions are a few of the many benefits.
How it works Feed flow is tangential to the
surface of the membrane in order to sweep rejected particles and solutes away
CROSS FLOW FILTRATION
Why SiC Membranes for the Power Generation
Industry
Chemically Resistant Material
The unique chemical resistance of the SiC Membrane provides low operational expenditure over its lifespan
• Can handle streams containing acidic compounds and heavy metals • Tolerate these fluctuating
conditions without the use of additional reagents• Can be cleaned with strong
oxidizers/chemicals without any membrane fouling
Environmentally Friendly
• Reduced water use due to high recovery %• No chemicals• No disposable media• Can meet discharge
requirements without the operating costs and environmental impact associated with conventional methods i.e. sludge disposal
Small footprintSiC Membrane technology from H2O Systems can replace conventional equipment for treatment of scrubber effluent or flue gas condensate with a smaller footprint
• Lower overall installation time/cost• Modular• Can be retrofited into an existing
ultrafiltration system.
Bio-Fouling Resistant
Filtering microbiological contaminants before water discharge to the environment or re-use in the facility is necessary
• Ideal in scenarios with high biofouling potential due to the fact that they can be cleaned with any chemicals and strong oxidizers• High mechanical strength allows
for a longer lifespan
Allows for re-use SiC Membrane system enables
wastewater re-use through a 95%-98% recovery of permeate followed by RO treatment.
• Reduction of using external make-up water• Reducing costs associated with
effluent discharge• Reducing operating expenditures
on sludge handling
Less Energy Usage
• The unique hydrophilic properties of the SiC Membrane provides a high flux capacity at low pressures• Requires less surface area per
treated m3 of water.• Less water consumption when
using backwash cleaning
