Hollow fiber membranes for wastewater treatment

Ensure consistent, high-quality effluent from industrial water and wastewater applications with advanced hollow fiber membrane filtration technology designed to tolerate high solids and minimize downtime.

Purifies and Clarifies Water and Wastewater

The PURON® HF and PURON® MP systems from Kovalus Separation Solutions are state-of-the-art hollow fiber membrane filtration systems designed to enhance water purification across a range of applications. Distinguished by their virtually unbreakable fibers and compact design, these systems efficiently process industrial and potable water, wastewater, and seawater. Operating on a pressurized hollow fiber ultrafiltration principle, they deliver high-quality effluent while reducing pre-treatment and maintenance costs. Suitable for diverse industries such as food and beverage, life sciences, and municipal facilities, these systems handle varying suspended solid levels with ease. The PURON® HF provides more than 95% recovery, surpassing regulatory standards, and integrates seamlessly into existing production lines with skid-mounted and modular configurations. Designed to meet stringent certifications, including NSF/ANSI Standard 61, this equipment ensures compliance and reliability. Its robust construction, designed for continuous operations, minimizes downtime and maximizes efficiency, offering an effective solution for water treatment challenges.
