Fäth - Mobile Membrane Filtration System
For many companies in the timber industry, treating process wastewater is a key issue. The aim is to remove heavy metals and salts from the water, and re-use as much of it as possible for other processes.
For one of our customers, we built a plant that does just that and is highly impressive in two relevant criteria – efficiency and compactness. It was fitted inside a standard 20 ft shipping container, and equipped with filter racks, pumps, measuring equipment, PP tanks in three different sizes (2000 l, 800 l, 200 l ) as well as a collection tray. The piping was installed in two different pressure stages.
The result is a plant that allows up to 90% of the water to be recovered by combining ultrafiltration with downstream reverse osmosis. The membrane used is cleaned by an integrated CIP (Cleaning in Place) station with a separate CIP cleaning tank.
