Municipal water systems are essential for providing safe, reliable, and sustainable water supplies to both urban and rural communities. These systems encompass water treatment, distribution, and resource management to meet the needs of households, businesses, and public services. As populations grow and environmental pressures increase, municipalities face challenges such as aging infrastructure, water scarcity, and stricter regulatory requirements. Advanced technologies, including membrane systems, play a vital role in modern municipal water treatment by effectively removing contaminants, improving water quality, and enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of water supply systems.
Municipal Wastewater Treatment
Municipal wastewater treatment is a core area of our expertise, driven by our commitment to protecting public health, preserving the environment, and promoting sustainable water management. We specialise in providing advanced membrane technologies, including membrane bioreactors (MBRs), ultrafiltration (UF), and reverse osmosis (RO) systems, to meet the diverse challenges of municipal wastewater treatment.
Our solutions are designed to achieve high-quality effluent standards, effectively removing suspended solids, bacteria, and dissolved pollutants. With a focus on efficiency, reliability, and compact system design, we empower municipalities to meet stringent discharge regulations and embrace water reuse initiatives.
Relevant Technologies
Solutions for municipal wastewater treatment typically involve a combination of physical, biological, and chemical processes tailored to meet specific treatment goals. Typical processes involved are Pretreatment + Ultrafiltration/MBR.
Primary Treatment
- Screening and Grit Removal: Removes large debris and grit to protect downstream equipment.
- Sedimentation: Settles suspended solids in primary clarifiers.
Secondary Treatment
- Activated Sludge Process: Uses microorganisms to break down organic matter.
- Biological Filtration: Includes biofilters or trickling filters to treat organic pollutants.
- Combines biological treatment with membrane filtration such as Membrane Bioreactors (MBRs) for compact, high-performance solutions.
Tertiary Treatment
- Filtration: Sand, carbon, or membrane filters such as Ultrafiltration technology for fine particle removal.
- Disinfection: Chlorination, UV light, or ozonation to eliminate pathogens.
Sludge Management
- Thickening and Dewatering: Reduces water content in sludge for easier handling and disposal.
- Anaerobic Digestion: Converts organic sludge into biogas for energy recovery.
Decentralised Treatment Systems
- Compact and modular systems for smaller communities or areas with limited infrastructure.
Potable Water
We specialise in the potable water industry, providing advanced solutions for safe, clean drinking water. With a deep understanding of water challenges, we utilise cutting-edge membrane technology to tackle water scarcity, contamination, and quality concerns. Our innovative membrane systems, including Ultrafiltration, Nanofiltration, and Reverse osmosis, effectively remove contaminants, pathogens, and dissolved solids, ensuring the highest water purity standards. By combining expertise with advanced technology, we deliver reliable, scalable, and sustainable solutions tailored to diverse water sources and treatment requirements.
Relevant Technologies
Municipal tap water can be purified into high-quality potable water through advanced membrane treatment processes. At the user end, water undergoes direct purification, activation, and energization, simulate natural water treatment systems. This process effectively removes impurities such as color, odor, chlorine residue, ozone, hydrogen sulfide, bacteria, viruses, and heavy metals. A typical treatment sequence includes Pretreatment + Ultrafiltration + Nanofiltration/Reverse Osmosis, ensuring clean, safe, and great-tasting drinking water.
Ceramic Microfiltration (MF) Membranes
Removes suspended particles, bacteria, and larger contaminants, often used as a pre-treatment step.
Hollow Fiber Ultrafiltration (UF) Membranes
Eliminates viruses, bacteria, and fine particulates, producing water with superior clarity and safety.
Spiral Wound Nanoflo®️ Membranes
Eliminates viruses, bacteria, and fine particulates, producing water with superior clarity and safety.
Spiral Wound Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membranes
Provides the highest level of purity by removing dissolved salts, heavy metals, and other solutes, making it essential for desalination and high-purity water applications.
