Problem:
A large processing factory in central England was being hit by ever increasing water bills. This was effecting their profitability and classic solutions of water reduction were not effective. Also classic membrane filtration was not effective in the highly corrosive and fluctuating effluent stream from this factory.
|
Solution:
After a detailed survey and subsequent analysis of their requirements, Dunlop Design Engineering
trialed a new almost indestructible form of filtration using ceramic cross flow filters.
Due to the success of these trials a
Kemco Cross Flow Micro Filtration system was
installed. These filters were designed with highly corrosive waste energy streams in
mind and are not temperature, chemical or dirt sensitive. The trials proved that
85% of the water could be recovered and returned to the process. Also as the water was
hot this energy was kept in the system and no further energy was required to reheat
the cold water as would be the norm. Energy saving was approximately 65% of the
total energy in the plant.
