Aquatech HERO™ (High Efficiency Reverse Osmosis) Technology

HERO™ (High Efficiency Reverse Osmosis) is a reverse osmosis technology, specially designed to treat high silica and difficult to treat water and wastewater. The process has an excellent potential for treatment of cooling tower blowdown where conventional reverse osmosis (RO) is generally considered to be ineffective or unreliable. In some instances, HERO may be used to replace or supplement an evaporation process as a cost-effective method of achieving zero liquid discharge (ZLD). The basic process consists of three steps: Hardness and suspended solids removal Carbon dioxide removal RO treatment at elevated pH Advantages HERO: Eliminates biofouling Maximizes recovery to beyond 95% Makes zero discharge affordable Applications of HERO™ High silica feed water Cooling tower blowdown treatment and recycle Tertiary treated sewage treatment and reuse High TOC biologically active water Industrial water recycle & reuse Retrofits & existing units
