Patent-Pending Water Filtration Product

Enceladus Water Group (USA) who specialize in RO (reverse osmosis) components for industrial and municipal water filtration applications, announce three major developments in its business. These developments include the launch of a new patent-pending water filtration product, delivery of nearly 2,000 pressure vessels for a major water purification project in Singapore, and pending ANSI/NSF Standard 61 product certification from UL (Underwriters Laboratories).

In April 2009, Enceladus will introduce an FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) cartridge housing for water filtration that features a patent-pending design unique to the water treatment industry.  Named the Enceladus Cartridge Housing (ECH), the housings possess all of the standard features found in industry standard SST cartridge housings, but feature corrosion-free, non-metallic wetted parts. Models will range in size to accommodate 5, 12, 22, or 61 pieces of standard 2.5” diameter cartridges, from 10” to 70” in length. The ECH Series is designed and tested in accordance with ASME Section X.   In addition to its focus on industry-changing product development for the water filtration industry, Enceladus is the exclusive North American and South American sales representative and global project management company for Harbin ROPV, the largest and oldest pressure vessel manufacturer in Asia-Pacific. ROPV, headquartered in China, offers a full line of 2.5”, 4” and 8” pressure vessels, and has a global installed base of 8” pressure vessels in excess of 120,000 pieces.   ROPV recently completed delivery of 1,980 pressure vessels for the Changi NEWater RO Water Purification Project in Singapore. The vessels were a combination of 3” and 4” side multi-port configurations, rated at 300PSI. Black & Veatch Corporation was the consulting engineer. Biwater AEWT and Biwater Malaysia, along with Sembcorp Industries, assembled and installed the system. At a total capacity of 228,000 m³/day (60 million gallons per day), the plant will provide 15 percent of Singapore’s water demand by 2010.   Another recent development is ROPV’s application for ANSI/NSF Standard 61 certification of its pressure vessels from UL. ANSI/NSF Standard 61 encompasses products that come into contact with drinking water and/or drinking water treatment chemicals. Certification is expected in the first quarter of 2009.
