Industrial Wastewater Treatment

Precious resources like water need to be used and managed efficiently. One technology that is helping in the way we treat and reuse water is Forward Osmosis (FO). It is proving to be an excellent solution for some of today’s toughest water challenges and its applications are expanding fast. Let's understand what forward osmosis is and why it is gaining popularity across industries like pharmaceuticals and agriculture. What is Forward Osmosis Forward osmosis is a water treatment process that uses a semi-permeable membrane and the natural movement of water from a low concentration to a high concentration solution. Traditional reverse osmosis requires high pressure for water treatment, but forward osmosis works well even at low pressure. This makes it energy-efficient and a great choice for sensitive processes where gentle treatment is required. Here are some ways in which forward osmosis is being used: 1. Pharmaceutical Industry The pharmaceutical industry requires high-quality, ult...

Water filtration is a critical part of many industrial and commercial processes. When wastewater, purifying drinking water, or preparing water for manufacturing, selecting the right filtration technology can make all the difference. Two popular filtration methods often discussed are nanofiltration and ultrafiltration. If you are wondering which one suits your needs best, this blog will help you understand the key differences, applications and benefits of each. Let’s get into the Nanofiltration vs Ultrafiltration debate to make an informed choice. What is Ultrafiltration? Ultrafiltration (UF) uses membranes with very small pores, typically between 0.01 and 0.1 microns. This method removes particles like suspended solids, bacteria, viruses and some larger molecules from water. Ultrafiltration is often used as a pre-treatment step before other purification technologies or for processes requiring the removal of pathogens and fine particles. Key benefits of ultrafiltration include: Effectiv...
