Industrial wastewater treatment. Reliable filtration across industries.
Industrial processes place very different demands on wastewater treatment. BLUE FOOT's IPC® ultrafiltration membranes deliver reliable solids separation in industrial MBR systems. Their integrated 3D textile structure, effective permeate backwashing and high membrane capacity make them a strong choice for new installations, plant upgrades and membrane replacements.
Industrial wastewater puts treatment systems to the test.
Variable flows. Changing loads.
Production schedules, batch discharges and cleaning cycles change both wastewater flow and composition. Treatment systems must manage these fluctuations throughout operation.
Complex wastewater composition.
Fats, oils, high organic loads and salts demand different treatment approaches. Effective pretreatment, biological treatment and membrane filtration must work together.
Water reuse. Higher quality demands.
Recovering wastewater for reuse requires consistent effluent quality. The intended reuse application determines the additional treatment needed.
Operating efficiency. Long-term costs.
Aeration energy, membrane cleaning, maintenance and downtime shape operating costs. Reliable filtration must also be efficient to operate and maintain.
Industrial MBR performance starts with the membrane.
Integrated membrane strength.
Two ultrafiltration layers cast directly into a non-compressible 3D woven textile support. No glue or welded membrane layers. Mechanical strength built into the membrane.
Effective permeate backwashing.
Pressurised permeate backwashing removes accumulated solids from the membrane surface, helping control fouling and maintain filtration performance.
High capacity. Efficient aeration.
High membrane area and efficient aeration configurations enable compact MBR layouts while keeping membrane-scouring air demand under control.
Across industries. Different demands.
Different industries bring different wastewater characteristics. IPC® membrane technology is applied across a broad range of industrial MBR applications, from food production to specialised industrial processes.
Food & Beverage.
Breweries, dairy production, meat and poultry processing, slaughterhouses, fruit and vegetable processing and other food production environments.
Rendering & Animal By-products.
Rendering facilities and animal by-product processing, involving wastewater streams with high organic loads, fats and proteins.
Agriculture.
Agricultural wastewater and onsite treatment applications, with varying wastewater characteristics and operating requirements.
Edible Oil & Biodiesel.
Wastewater treatment applications associated with edible oil processing, biodiesel production and related industrial processes.
Digestate & Leachate.
Treatment applications involving digestate, leachate and other demanding liquid waste streams.
Other Industrial Applications.
From petrochemicals and textiles to plastics recycling and other industrial processes. Membrane suitability is assessed against the wastewater characteristics and treatment requirements.
