Ultrafiltration System Helps Recycle and Reuse Oily Wastewater

Koch Membrane Systems (USA) is helping companies reduce and reuse wastewater via KONSOLIDATOR™ ultrafiltration systems, according to Peter Bouchard, the company’s global director of marketing.

“Our products offer manufacturers an outstanding way to reduce wastewater discharge,” Bouchard said. “The KONSOLIDATOR UF systems are inexpensive to install and easy to operate and maintain. The systems operate at maximum suspended solids concentrations without plugging minimizing pre-filtration requirements and allowing companies to concentrate waste volume. KMS has sold hundreds of these systems over the years and has seen a significant increase in companies looking to reduce their wastewater footprint and overall disposal costs.”

The KONSOLIDATOR systems are designed for companies looking to reduce disposal wastewater costs in applications with high suspended solids. The durable membranes can handle a variety of processing conditions and can be cleaned easily using KMS’ sponge balls.

Fabricated from cost-effective, dependable components, the KONSOLIDATOR features KMS’ patented FEG™ tubular membranes, which exhibit outstanding performance, with mechanical and chemical resistance properties that make it the preferred membrane configuration in tough situations. The KONSOLIDATOR ultrafiltration systems are available in five standard sizes ranging in flows from 3,000 to 100,000 gallons per day.

Additional features include a control panel containing a programmable logic controller, a NEMA 12 enclosure, as well as pressure and temperature alarms, feed temperature and permeate flow indicators, inlet/outlet pressure gauges, optional cleaning skid, and an automatic purge mechanism.
