Membrane Processes at Plastical Group
At Plastical Group, we pride ourselves on offering advanced solutions in membrane processes as an efficient and effective alternative to ion exchange. This technology is based on the use of semipermeable membranes to separate particles and solutes from water, providing exceptional results in the treatment of large flow rates and in various industrial applications.
What Are Membrane Processes?
Membrane processes use semipermeable membranes that allow the separation of particles and solutes present in a liquid flow. Depending on the water parameters and the type of membrane used, these processes can be applied in various industries to improve water quality and optimize production processes.
Applications of Membrane Processes
1. Feed Water Treatment:
- Microfiltration: Ideal for the clarification of colloidal and turbid solutions, removing particles, bacteria and other impurities from process water in the chemical, food and pharmaceuticalindustries.
- Ultrafiltration: Used for the removal of viruses, bacteria and pyrogens, significantly improving water quality in critical industrial processes.
- Reverse Osmosis: Advanced process that sterilizes and deionizes water, crucial for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, deionization of water for boilers, the galvanic industry, coatings, electronics, and the desalination of brines and seawater. It is also used for the production of ultrapure water in the electronics industry.
2. Water Recycling and Industrial Waste Treatment:
Membrane processes are essential for water recycling and industrial waste treatment, providing an efficient and economical solution. They act as subsequent stages to traditional treatments, balancing operational needs with economic performance.
3. Product Recovery in Industrial Processes:
In many industrial processes, raw materials dissolved in washings can be recovered using
membranes, optimizing resources and reducing costs. In addition, the by-products generated can be separated and economically utilized through these technologies.
Advantages of Reverse Osmosis
Reverse osmosis is a key technique within membrane processes. It consists of applying
pressure to force the passage of water through semipermeable membranes housed in pressure tubes. This process is capable of separating substances according to their physical and chemical properties, and the appropriate membranes are selected based on the salt concentration and the desired water quality.
The system includes a pretreatment of the feed water consisting of filtration, microfiltration and chemical dosing to ensure the durability of the membranes. After passing through the membranes, the water may require pH adjustments by chemical dosing or atmospheric degassing.
Installation and Maintenance
Our equipment is designed for easy transport and installation on site, with all elements arranged on racks. In addition, modules are included for periodic maintenance of the membranes, ensuring efficient and long-term operation.
At Plastical Group, we are committed to offering high-quality solutions in membrane processes, adapting to the specific needs of each client and ensuring maximum efficiency and durability in their operations.
