Kovalus Separation Solutions, Inc. products

This patented module features reinforced PVDF hollow fibers that are fixed only at the bottom, virtually eliminating the clogging buildup of hair, fibrous materials and sludge solids. Solids and particulates, including bacteria, remain on the outside, while permeate is drawn through the membrane to the inside of the fibers. The aeration nozzle is centered in the fiber bundle to scour the entire fiber length, minimizing power consumption.

PULSION MBR modules offer up to 40% aeration energy reduction and 25% footprint reduction. Leveraging the key differentiating features of PURON MBR, this innovation pulses a large bubble through a chambered fiber bundle, creating a piston-like pumping action that results in lower air and aeration energy requirements than traditional scouring methods. Improved recirculation of mixed liquor in the membrane module boosts achievable fluxes and overall performance. Optimized design and layout has reduced tank sizing while eliminating the need for air cycle valves. A minimized continuous air flow applied to the membranes has decreased the size of air delivery equipment by 50% while reducing operation costs.

PURON MP pressurized hollow fiber ultrafiltration provide a cost-effective solution for a variety of water and wastewater treatment applications. The system’s high flux and solids tolerance properties eliminate the need for costly pretreatment and chemical cleans while producing high-quality effluent and meeting stringent regulatory targets, including drinking water LT2 specifications. Polyester reinforced PVDF membranes and a unique single-potting design help to avoid downtime. Performance, simplified operation, reduced maintenance and compact footprint add up to one cost-effective filtration solution.

An evolution of the PURON MBR modules, the PURON HF series is ideal for tertiary applications including RO pretreatment and surface water treatment. With system recoveries of more than 95%, the PURON® HF produces consistent, high-quality effluent that meets or exceeds most regulatory requirements. This hollow-fiber product is a high throughput, compact wastewater solution with a low lifecycle cost. It features 44% more membrane area than the PURON® MBR module within the same dimensions and supported fibers that virtually eliminate breakage.

Designed upon polysulfone (PS) chemistry, our ROMICON hollow-fiber microfiltration and ultrafiltration cartridges are performance leaders in a variety of food, beverage, and industrial biotechnology. ROMICON cartridges are cross-flow type filters that utilize inside-out fibers and are available in a wide range of pore sizes and fiber diameters. The fiber lumen (inner diameter) and pore size can be selected to best suit the solids loading and separation requirements for each process. These cartridges are used in numerous food and beverage applications including: product clarification, protein fractionation; and color concentration. In addition to standard cartridges, two special construction variants are available which are suitable for spirit vinegar and citrus clarification.

Designed to meet the most stringent regulations in the pharmaceutical industry, all ROMIPRO cartridge components have passed USP Class VI test guidelines. Each cartridge ships with a Certificate of Quality.

Engineered for advanced crossflow filtration, our WINEFILTER cartridges are known for producing high-quality, clarified and stabilized wines full of aromas and rich in color. The microfiltration WINEFILTER membrane was optimized to maintain the unique character of each wine, producing clear and stable wines without using additives. The advanced microfiltration of KSS BEERFILTER hollow fiber cartridges removes only undesirable suspended solids without affecting bitterness, aroma, color, taste or foam stability of the final shelf-stable product. The cartridges produce consistent, high-quality beer from start to end of the filtration run.

Developed for the most demanding water treatment environments, our RO series is equipped for complex applications including seawater desalination, beverage production, water softening for power generation, and industries where high-rejection purification is required.

Developed for the recovery and treatment of electrocoat paint, this configuration includes an integral shell with Victaulic-style connections that simplify design and module changeout. Our ultrafiltration membranes have been the industry standard in electrocoat paint recovery for nearly 30 years. We strive to help customers achieve high productivity, stable flux and superior permeate quality.
