Industrial wastewater treatment. Built for demanding conditions.
Industrial wastewater comes with complex and changing treatment demands, from fluctuating loads to challenging wastewater compositions. BLUE FOOT's IPC® membrane technology supports reliable filtration in industrial MBR systems, helping OEMs and engineering partners address treatment challenges and water reuse opportunities.
Industrial wastewater is anything but predictable.
Industrial wastewater conditions vary widely between sectors and production processes. From fluctuating loads to challenging wastewater compositions, treatment systems must perform reliably under demanding conditions.
Variable loads and shock events.
Changing production schedules, cleaning cycles and process variations can create significant fluctuations in wastewater volume and composition.
Complex wastewater compositions.
Industrial wastewater can contain oils, fats, high organic loads, salts and other challenging components. Treatment systems need to accommodate these varying conditions while maintaining reliable performance.
Water reuse ambitions.
More industries are looking to reduce freshwater consumption and recover treated wastewater for reuse, placing higher demands on treatment consistency.
Operational reliability and efficiency.
Industrial treatment systems must deliver consistent performance while keeping energy consumption, maintenance requirements and operator intervention manageable.
Membrane technology built for industrial demands.
Industrial MBR systems need membranes that can withstand demanding operating conditions. BLUE FOOT's IPC® membrane technology brings together mechanical strength, reliable filtration and efficient operation.
Robust by construction.
Two ultrafiltration layers are cast directly into a 3D woven textile support, creating a mechanically strong, integrated membrane structure without glue or welded membrane layers.
Backwashing for reliable operation.
Effective permeate backwashing helps remove accumulated solids from the membrane surface, supporting stable filtration performance and reducing the need for manual cleaning interventions.
Capacity with efficiency.
High membrane capacity and efficient aeration support compact industrial MBR designs while helping limit aeration energy demand.
