Seawater Fish Farm Waste Water recycle

3E-NF20 HF membrane system aims to retain salt concentration while remove organics and ammonia

Singapore is the world's largest exporter of ornamental fish. Direct discharge of aquaculture wastewater will create adverse effect on the ecosystem. Singapore government is rolling out a plan to move all outdoor fish farms to indoor multi-storey fish farms. In order to achieve this goal, the government encourages the adoption of new technologies to reduce the cost of aquaculture wastewater reuse, which can reduce the water consumption and the cost of indoor fish farming.

Aquarium Iwarna Marine Ornamental Fish used 3E-NF20 to recycle its aquaculture wastewater. This project was supported by Enterprise Singapore, Ngee Ann Polytechnic and Singapore Fish Culture Association.

System Parameters:

Feed: 38,000.0 ppm
Flux: 0.4±0.5L/hour
Salt rejection: 20.0±0.3%（2000ppm MgSO₄）
Operational pressure: 2.0 Bar

Benefits of using our membranes:

Low pressure used in operation: 2 bar for our membrane compared to 10-100 bar for conventional RO
Retention of salt concentration: our membrane does not remove salts from the seawater, whereas the conventional RO process used excessive high pressure to remove the salts during treatment. The filtered water needs to be topped up with salt before being used for aquaculture purpose
Low requirement on feedwater pre-treatment: our membrane adopts a hollow fibre configuration that minimizes clogging happens in conventional RO process. It also allows for better cleaning strategy

Laundry Wastewater Recycling

3E-NF60 membrane system aims to remove surfactants from wastewater

Laundry water accounts for at least 20% of portable water consumption. Laundry wastewater from large-scale laundry factories could cause problems for wastewater treatment plants when directly discharged into sewer. Many European and American countries stipulate that laundry wastewater cannot be directly discharged, and have formulated the reuse index of laundry wastewater.

3E worked with Hydrasyst - a well-known industrial wastewater treatment company in Europe and America, to supply our membranes for a laundry wastewater treatment and reuse project.

System Parameters:

Processing capacity: 4.0 ± 1 T / hour
Influent TDS:2400ppm
Salt rejection: 60.0% ± 0.3%（2000ppm MgSO₄）
Operational pressure: 2.5 Bar
Maximum working pressure: 3.0 Bar

Benefits of using our membranes:

Lower pressure used: our operational pressure is 2.5 bar, whereas the conventional RO process is 10 – 100 bar
Simplified system: allows for reliable and easy-to-operate laundry wastewater recycling
Lower fouling propensity: Our surface is compact and not easy to be polluted. Therefore, it has long lifespan even when subject to substantial organic concentration.

Secondary Effluent Recycling for Cooling Tower Makeup

3E-200NF10A membrane system aims to remove organics from secondary effluent while achieve high recovery rate

While water scarcity becomes a pressing issue, there is a huge demand to recycle wastewater into process water. Secondary effluent is a potential source for water recycling after removing organics and salt. Water recovery is often limited by UF’s capability of removing organics and therefore severe biofouling in RO, which in turn impairs the economical feasibility of water recycling projects.

Shandong Kytoland Watertech used our membrane as a pre-treatment to RO membranes.

System Parameters:

Effective membrane area: 61.0 m²
Water flow rate: 128 ±0.5 Ton/day per bar
Operation pressure: Max. 3.0bar
Salt rejection 2000ppm MgSO₄: 10±1%
Max Free-chloride resistance: 1000.0 ppm

Benefits of using our membranes:

Higher rejection of organics and hardness to safeguard the downstream RO process: most of the existing pre-treatment of RO process adopts loose ultrafiltration with molecular weight rejection rate higher than 5000Da. This type of membrane cannot remove the hardness and organics in water.
Higher flux compared to other NF membranes: 3E high flux nanofiltration membrane has a flux close to that of UF
Lower fouling propensity: Our surface is compact and not easy to be polluted. Therefore, it has long lifespan even when subject to substantial organic concentration.
