Membrane filtration of industrial wastewater

Improve your industrial water treatment performance with Ovive membrane filtration solutions.

Membrane filtration is an efficient and versatile technology for industrial water treatment and reclamation. It offers numerous advantages over traditional technologies, helping to meet increasingly stringent environmental requirements and enable treated wastewater to be reused (REUT).

Membrane filtration of industrial water and effluent: an effective, versatile treatment solution and an ally of the LWR

The membrane filtration process for industrial water and effluent is essential for the treatment of industrial or process wastewater. It separates and purifies wastewater by eliminating unwanted particles through the use of membranes. The process is based on the principle of permeation through a selective membrane, offering a wide range of intrinsic characteristics and applications.

Types of membrane filtration

Depending on pore size, the filtration membrane provides an absolute physical barrier to molecules and particles above a certain size. Filtration technologies include microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis. Membrane filtration removes or concentrates suspended solids, salts, ions, metals, dissolved particles and micro-organisms from water, making it not only safer, but also cleaner and more environmentally friendly.

Membrane function

The membrane is a semi-permeable barrier that allows the selective passage of certain compounds, depending on their relative size and affinity for the membrane material. At the heart of this process are the flux (initial effluent), the permeate (fraction that has passed through the membrane) and the retentate or concentrate (fraction retained by the membrane).

Membrane selection and techniques

The choice of membrane type and filtration technique depends on the nature and concentration of the contaminants present in the industrial wastewater to be treated, and on the treatment objectives.

The advantages of membrane filtration for industrial water and effluents

This membrane filtration process can not only treat industrial effluents, but also recover by-products which can then be used in other industrial processes. It also improves the productivity, quality and environmental compliance of the production process.

Membrane filtration of industrial water and effluent represents an effective and versatile solution for wastewater treatment. It plays a crucial role in the reuse of treated wastewater (REUT), making it possible to meet environmental requirements while optimizing resources and the productivity of industrial processes.

Removal of impurities

In addition to the effective removal of impurities, this method offers numerous advantages. Membrane filtration improves the recovery of materials and helps to reduce processing costs for the industry.

Recovery of precious materials

Benefits include the recovery of valuable materials, which not only reduces waste disposal costs but also promotes production sustainability. In addition, membrane filtration can greatly improve industrial process efficiency by reducing the time required for certain separation processes, making them more energy-efficient.

Types of membrane filtration

Membrane filtration technologies involve different types: microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis, each offering precise separation according to particle size.

Improving production quality

Membrane filtration promotes higher-quality production by eliminating undesirable substances, thus improving final product quality. What’s more, by using membrane filtration, industries can reduce their water and energy consumption compared with more traditional separation techniques. Indeed, the membrane filtration process relies on the use of pressure, rather than heat, making it a more energy-efficient solution.

Environmental compliance

In the context of environmental regulations, membrane filtration supports companies’ efforts to comply with environmental standards by limiting waste production and reducing polluting water discharges. It contributes to a cleaner, more sustainable industry, while offering operational efficiency.

Reuse of treated industrial wastewater

When it comes to reusing treated industrial wastewater, membrane filtration is a major asset, enabling us to achieve the water qualities required for subsequent processes.
