Chemical Industry and Process Waste Water Membrane filtration can play an integral role in processing difficult wastewater streams to reduce BOD, COD, and hydraulic loadings as well as producing a clean water source that can potentially be re-used within the plant.

Typical environmental applications are:

• Dairy and food plant waste streams
• Potato flume water
• Polishing of evaporator condensate
• Recovery and re-use of spent cleaning solutions

Many chemical processes also utilize membrane filtration for:

• De-salting, diafiltration and purification of dyes, pigments and optical brighteners
• Clean-up of rinse and washwater streams
• Concentration and de-watering of minerals such as kaolin clay, titanium dioxide and calcium carbonate
