6 reasons why SiC Ultrafiltration helps the Power Generation Industry

H
H2OSystems

Significant volumes of water are used in power plants for cooling, scrubbing, or boiler feed water purposes. When either utilizing an open or closed loop design, proper filtration must be provided in order to treat the waste effluent to meet stringent environmental regulations for reuse or discharge back to the environment. H2O Systems SiC Membrane Ultrafiltration has proven itself in this manner, particularly in power generation applications. Here are 6 advantages of using SiC Membranes in the Power Generation Industry.

6 Advantages of SiC Ultrafiltration in the Power Generation Industry
Our Solution SiC Ceramic membranes Filter & retain heavy metals and particles within the ultrafiltration range. Extremely robust, chemically resistant, able to withstand high temperatures, and ability to handle varying feed conditions are a few of the many benefits.
How it works Feed flow is tangential to the surface of the membrane in order to sweep rejected particles and solutes away CROSS FLOW FILTRATION
Why SiC Membranes for the Power Generation Industry
Chemically Resistant Material The unique chemical resistance of the SiC Membrane provides low operational expenditure over its lifespan Can handle streams containing acidic compounds and heavy metals Tolerate these fluctuating conditions without the use of additional reagents Can be cleaned with strong oxidizers/chemicals without any membrane fouling
Environmentally Friendly Reduced water use due to high recovery % No chemicals No disposable media Can meet discharge requirements without the operating costs and environmental impact associated with conventional methods i.e. sludge disposal
Small footprint SiC Membrane technology from H2O Systems can replace conventional equipment for treatment of scrubber effluent or flue gas condensate with a smaller footprint Lower overall installation time/cost Modular Can be retrofited into an existing ultrafiltration system.
Bio-Fouling Resistant Filtering microbiological contaminants before water discharge to the environment or re-use in the facility is necessary Ideal in scenarios with high biofouling potential due to the fact that they can be cleaned with any chemicals and strong oxidizers High mechanical strength allows for a longer lifespan
Allows for re-use SiC Membrane system enables wastewater re-use through a 95%-98% recovery of permeate followed by RO treatment. Reduction of using external make- up water Reducing costs associated with effluent discharge Reducing operating expenditures on sludge handling
Less Energy Usage The unique hydrophilic properties of the SiC Membrane provides a high flux capacity at low pressures Requires less surface area per treated m3 of water. Less water consumption when using backwash cleaning
