MICROFILTRATION
OVERVIEW
Microfiltration is a process where solute particles greater
or equal to 0.1 micron are removed from the solution. This
process requires feed rates of very high velocities at low
pressures. Each microfiltration module requires a 30 GPM
cross flow with a feed pressure from 30 to 40 PSI.
A major benefit of the LT Technologies microfiltration process
is the 1-inch tubular modules cast in a synthetic mold. Each
module contains six 1” tubes that allow higher micron
rated particles to pass across the membrane surface without
plugging the individual tubes and reducing permeate (product
water) flow.
TYPICAL APPLICATION
Many manufacturing and metal finishers treat their metal
bearing rinse waters with a conventional treatment with a
gravity plate settler. However conventional treatment can
yield inconsistent metal discharge numbers. The Microfiltration
process effluent with proper pH adjustment (pre-treatment)
yields very consistent metal discharge numbers due to the
nominal 0.1- micron rating that only allows particulate matter
less than 0.1 to pass through the microfiltration modules.
This treatment process reduces operator time significantly.
The Microfiltration System can be placed with an existing
chemical precipitation process or new update equipment can
be supplied as an option.
Through LT Technologies’ 3-tier of success (consultation,
capital equipment manufacturing and high-end services) we
can develop a treatment strategy to meet the upcoming need
for more stringent effluent discharge limits.
