Membranes Systems for Waste Minimization - Waste and Recycling
Porifera solutions outperform other membrane systems to treat waters high in COD & TDS. Reuse more water and create value from challenging wastes.
- Concentrate to high salinity with less energy
Porifera proprietary multi-stage RO draw regeneration process enables low energy brine concentration.
Porifera Concentrator uses only ~5 kWh/m3 to concentrate from 50,000 to 200,000 mg/L TDS
- High salinity
Recover more water from high salinity wastes into waste brines of 200,000-400,000 mg/L of TDS and clean water with
- High COD and high TSS
Porifera technology can handle higher chemical oxygen demand (COD), higher total suspended solids (TSS), higher oil and grease levels and higher viscosities than any other membrane technology. Our unique membrane allows reuse of water from COD wastes > 200,000 mg/L of TDS and syrup-type viscosities. Learn more about Porifera’s industrial solutions.
- Unparalleled rejection
Our unique process gently removes water from even the most contaminated waste streams, creating pure water for reuse. Tight FO membranes combined with RO membranes minimize passage of contaminants into the product water. Reach higher rejection levels of Emerging Contaminants of Concern (ECOCs).
- Concentrate wastes to develop brines
Some oil field wastes can be concentrated to develop brines suitable for fracking, stimulating or killing a well.
- Capture additional hydrocarbons
After concentration, some additional hydrocarbons may be separated and reused prior to disposal.
