Introducing nano-selective forward osmosis for dye concentration and desalting – contact us for piloting opportunities
THE CHALLENGE Although widely used, nanofiltration membranes face significant challenges in dye concentration and desalting applications due to irreversible fouling and flux decline at high dye concentrations resulting in high operational costs from frequent membrane replacement. OUR SOLUTION Our two-stage solution combines nano-selective forward osmosis (FOns) with traditional nanofiltration to reduce the frequency of membrane […]
SideStroem and SIT Collaborate to Optimise Industrial Wastewater Treatment Through Nanofiltration-type Forward Osmosis Membranes
SideStroem Water Technologies and the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) have embarked on a research collaboration to develop nanofiltration-type forward osmosis (NF-FO) membranes for resource recovery, an emerging technology that enables productivity gains in industrial wastewater treatment. The technology presents several advantages that enable simultaneous recovery of both water and valuable solutes from wastewater streams […]
Continuous ethanol removal from fermentation broths
Why is forward osmosis a good enabling technology for unlocking productivity gains from more efficient industrial processes? Membrane filtration is a process where substances are physically retained on a filter surface with small pore sizes. In industrial processes membrane filtration is used to isolate, refine & concentrate product streams at various production stages: Extraction of […]
Selective recovery & recycling of water and sodium chloride from industrial wastewater
Why is forward osmosis a good enabling technology for resource recovery & recycling from industrial wastewater? Generally speaking, membrane filtration is a simple filtration process with physical retention of substances on a filter surface with small pore sizes. Extensively used for industrial wastewater treatment, membrane filtration is a separation process where unwanted substances (e.g. bacteria, […]
