Advanced hollow fiber membrane for wastewater treatment
Tackle high solid challenges in water treatment with robust ultrafiltration, ensuring seamless integration for wastewater recycling and high-efficiency effluent polishing.
Performs Ultrafiltration of Liquid and Slurry.
The ASPIDA™ Module and Cartridge from Kovalus Separation Solutions offer a cutting-edge ultrafiltration system designed to enhance both municipal and industrial operations. This system employs a high-throughput hollow fiber membrane, which provides superior mechanical strength and chemical tolerance, minimizing fiber breaks and extending membrane life. The outside-in construction facilitates high solids tolerance, ideal for applications such as water treatment and effluent polishing in industries ranging from dairy to oil and gas. Featuring skid-mounted, pre-engineered modular designs, these systems integrate seamlessly into existing production lines, optimizing efficiency with low trans-membrane pressure and reduced chemical cleaning requirements. They produce high-quality effluent with TSS concentrations of less than 5 mg/L, supporting applications in milk powder, fruit juice concentrate, and more. These units adhere to stringent industry standards and offer customizable options to meet specific operational demands.
