Membran-Filtrations-Technik awarded contract to supply system to treat compost water
Membran-Filtrations-Technik (MFT), an Aquarion Group company, has been awarded a contract by Tersan Puglia to supply a plant to treat compost water (leachate) coming from several sites in Puglia, Italy.
The MFT system, with flow rate of 90m3 per day, consists of two stages.
Operating at a maximum operation pressure of 140 bars, the first stage of the system treats the organic and/or mineral contaminated raw water from the compost.
It comprises a plate-and-frame reverse osmosis (RO) system constructed with 24 MFT patented CD 140 high pressure circular disk modules with a membrane area of approximately 216m2.
The second stage, which polishes the resulting permeate to meet the discharge limits for clean water, is a spiral wound RO plant that employs a special membrane material with high rejection, making the combined total recovery rate at least 70%.
The MFT membrane plant is fully automated, so that all operation tasks such as start-up and shut down, cleaning, flushing of the sand filter, and normal operation take place with no manual action.
