Membrane Technologies

Puretech Environmental can incorporate a range of membrane technologies into industrial wastewater and effluent treatment systems. Our membrane technology solutions include ultrafiltration (UF), membrane bioreactors (MBR) and reverse osmosis (RO), with the appropriate technology selected according to the application, contaminants present, required water quality and intended end use.

What Is Membrane Technology?

Membrane technologies provide an effective way of separating contaminants, suspended solids, oils and other unwanted substances from industrial wastewater and process water. At Puretech Environmental, we design and integrate membrane-based treatment systems to address specific industrial effluent challenges, helping businesses improve water quality, recover water for reuse and optimise their overall effluent treatment process.

Membrane technology uses a semi-permeable membrane to separate components within a liquid. Depending on the type and specification of membrane used, certain substances can pass through the membrane while contaminants are retained. This provides a controlled method of separating pollutants from industrial wastewater and can be particularly useful where conventional treatment processes alone cannot achieve the required water quality.

Membrane filtration can be incorporated into a wider industrial effluent treatment system, providing additional treatment, polishing or water recovery where required.

At Puretech Environmental, we assess each project individually. Rather than applying a standard treatment process, we consider the client’s manufacturing process, wastewater characteristics, contaminants, flow rates and required discharge or reuse quality before determining the most appropriate treatment technology.

Membrane technology has a wide range of applications which we can help you with:

  • Ultrafiltration of degreasing process solutions for the separation of oil
  • Ultrafiltration of aerobic digestion reactor (MBR : Membrane Bio Reactor)
  • Reverse osmosis for process water preparation or for re-use after MBR

Why Choose Puretech Environmental for Membrane Technology?

Puretech Environmental has been designing and delivering industrial effluent treatment solutions since 2006. We provide a complete project management service covering the design, manufacture, installation, commissioning and ongoing maintenance of effluent treatment plants.

Our approach is based on selecting the right technology for the right problem. We work across a range of industrial sectors, including aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, food and beverage and waste management.

When membrane technology is appropriate, we can integrate it with other treatment technologies to create a solution tailored to the specific requirements of the site. Membrane filtration can be used as part of a complete effluent treatment plant or as a standalone treatment process, depending on the characteristics of the wastewater and the required treatment objectives.

Contact Puretech Environmental to discuss your industrial effluent treatment requirements and find out how membrane technology could be incorporated into your wastewater treatment or water reuse strategy.

"I would highly recommend Puretech Environmental as they provide excellent solutions, service and are always available to help you. The people are very well skilled and passionate about what they do, and this is clearly seen in their work - Five start rating"
