Energy-Efficient Crossflow Membrane Solutions
PermaFlux, the world’s only outside-in UF membrane filtration technology for high-strength/high-solids wastewater treatment
Ultrafiltration (UF) Crossflow Membrane Module & Innovative Waste Water Treatment Solution
Thetis Environmental’s PermaFluxTM is the ultimate upgrade to cross flow tubular UF membranes. They are your solutions to treat high-strength/high-solids wastewater and wastewater with oil and grease.
Total Suspended Solids (TSS) Range: 0 – 150,000 mg/L Emulsified Oil Concentrations: ≤ 100,000 mg/L
By pairing PermaFlux with a free oil separator technology, virtually all oils in wastewater can be extracted and concentrated, leaving the end user with clean permeate for reuse or disposal.
PermaFluxTM provides cross flow filtration in a patented close loop design to operate at a fraction of the energy of the energy typical required by tubular and ceramic membranes with energy savings up to 90%.
- Higher Solids tolerance than tubular membranes increases maximum solids concentration attainable and reduces risk of modules clogging.
- More durable and robust than conventional PVDF hollow fiber with typical estimated life span exceeding 5 years.
- Fully back-washable modules allow for enhanced operation and extended period in between maintenance cleans
- Filtration at 0.04 micron and molecular weight cut-off at 100 kDalton delivers superior performance and high quality permeate.
- Unique membrane and module design orients the membrane filaments in parallel channels along the module length. Membrane is designed for enhanced durability and abrasion resistance.
- Option for high temperature module up to 70 degrees Celsius
PermaFluxTM module is best suited for numerous applications including (but not limited to)
- Industrial/Oily wastewater
- Landfill & Remediation
- Municipal Sludge Thickening
- Pulp & Paper
- Algae Thickening
- Metal Separation
- Food and Beverage Waste & Clarification
- Pharmaceuticals & Chemicals
- Mining
- Anaerobic MBR (liquid/solid separation)
Ultrafiltration quality permeate can be stored and reused for some non-portable applications (rising/washing, cooling towers, boilers, irrigation, etc)
