GEA Filtration Promotes Green Efficiency |
|
Powerful stories about the need to reuse water and reduce energy consumption have become commonplace. In addition, recent communications for many green products leverage the dual messages: the financial rewards of resource-efficiency and the reduction in environmental impact. Unfortunately, very few product and systems can actually live up to the hype (reducing the operational costs and the environmental impact at the same time)! However, we are proud to introduce one of these amazing exceptions: After extensive testing GEA Filtration is pioneering the usage of state of the art Reverse Osmosis Polishers (ROP) membranes to achieve significant energy savings. The newer polisher membranes allow operation at lower feed pressures and can be installed in existing or new membrane ROP plants. GEA Filtration has realized a 35% reduction in the operating pressures and a horsepower reduction of up to 30%. This technology has evolved from the desalination industry, and GEA has translated it successfully to the process industry. The membranes cost is similar to standard polisher membranes but with the added savings, due to lower operational costs, results in considerable annual savings. Lower energy consumption not only reduces operating cost, but it is also beneficial for the environment at the same time. The cost advantage on new plants is twofold:
With water availability and the ever growing environmental challenges, this is an excellent proposition for numerous polisher applications as production facilities are expected to use water more efficiently and effectively. GEA Filtration is working with customers every day to develop new ways to treat, reuse and reclaim the water. With our process and system know-how, our team applies process options to meet the site-specific demands of each facility. Additionally, GEA Filtration offers various pilot plant units for product testing and new waste stream treatment feasibility. These plants are available through a rental program for testing at your plant site or in our pilot plant testing facility in Hudson, WI.
