Thermal Energy Launches Microfiltration System

Canadian technology company Thermal Energy has launched a ceramic microfiltration system (CMF), which removes suspended and emulsified contaminants from wastewater without treatment chemicals.

The Flu-Ace CMF uses cross-flow filtration technology, which allows contaminated wastewater to permeate the ceramic filter channels at high velocity, producing quality water with a recovery rate of 90%.

The ceramic filters are coated with fine membranes, which provide filtration in a variety of submicron pore sizes.

Cleaned filtrate is later diverted to a storage system for recycling, while rejected contaminants are collected in a waste stream.

The microfiltration system reduces water usage as well as energy consumption by recovering the heat in the wastewater, according to processingtalk.com.
