Industry: Chemical
Why Kuraray?
The same product is highly regarded for its ability to handle a wide range of water, from pure water to wastewater. In pure water applications, particles and other impurities can affect product yield. Filtering with high-flow membrane modules offers a cost-effective way to improve yield. For wastewater such as rinse water from plating processes that contains high concentrations of heavy metals, membrane filtration can treat the water without sedimentation, reducing chemical usage.
Performance required in the chemical industry
Wide Range of Water Compatibility
The same type of membrane module can be used to treat everything from pure water to wastewater.
High Flow Capacity
Higher water filtration volume per membrane module allows for lower costs.
Handling High-SS Wastewater
Normally, high-SS feed water requires pretreatment to reduce suspended solids concentration before membrane filtration. However, by using Kuraray's hollow fiber membrane modules to directly filter raw water, overall facility costs can be reduced.
High Water Recovery Rate
Kuraray's proprietary air backwashing method enables membrane filtration with a high water recovery rate. The amount of wastewater discharged from the membrane filtration facility can be reduced and water can be used more effectively.
