Dependent on the technical and economical basic conditions of the respective application WAT-membratec provides a wide range of processing systems:
This includes not only chemical treatment, such as neutralization, precipitation, flocculation, adsorption, ion exchange and catalysis, but also oxidation and disinfection as well as conditioning for corrosion and deposit prevention.
We are also focusing on mechanical separation processes from sedimentation and screening, and further filtration with deep bed and cartridge filters up to the membrane-based micro and ultra filtration managed in either dead-end or cross flow.
Much more selective separation capacity is achieved by the utilization of nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes and also very low residual contents by combination of ion exchange and ion selective membranes in the electrodeionization process. Membrane contactors serve to aeration and degassing of liquids.
The specific application of biological process in the form of purpose-built filter beds, activation basins or fermenters, also combined with biomass separation by means of membranes, permits fast conversion of matters at low energy consumption.
There are also many areas where thermal processing, such as degassing of boiler feedwater in mixing condensers or disinfection of infectious waste water in sterilization apparatus with specific heat recovery systems plays an important role.
WAT-membratec, of course, provides also the complete periphery such as tank and piping system made of all kinds of material from high-alloy or coated steel up to thermoplastics, also of ultra pure water design.
In most cases an automation system with control elements and visualization is constituent part of a functioning unit. The in-house manufactured control cabinets based on the widespread PLC and bus systems are customized to various specifications. The systems are also equipped with data line or mobile radio monitoring.
