Wastewater Filtration & Recycling Systems
THE FUTURE OF WATER IS ceramic membrane FILTRATION
Norchem’s water technology division brings more than 30 years of innovation pedigree to smart water reclamation technology. Straight from our Skunk Works project team in Los Angeles, CA, Norchem developed one of the first “best in breed” Ceramic Membrane Filtration (CMF) and Reclamation Systems for industrial effluent waste streams in processing plants since 1995.
UltraPure® (CMF) System
Named UltraPure® as a nod to its Ultrafiltration capabilities…
The UltraPure® Ceramic Membrane Filtration System produces high quality recovered water for applications in commercial laundry, food processing, and many others with no added treatment chemicals. The ultra-filtration process uses an innovative ceramic crossflow membrane design that can reclaim up to 85% of wastewater and 85% of wastewater heat.
The UltraPure® is designed to fit in any plant, big or small, with added capacity for future growth at less cost.
“At the top of Norchem, the technology and systems they design are second-to-none. They are the best in Water Recycling & Filtration innovation.”
CITY Laundering President Colin Wetlaufer
a worthwhile investment
Proven to substantially reduce wastewater discharge by as much as 85% in most industrial applications where water can be reclaimed.
Water heating energy costs are expensive. This system minimizes Delta-T by up to 85%, eliminating the need for additional expense on water heating equipment.
Have you ever wondered if the city will shut-off your water? The UltraPure® will help sustain operations through a drought or public utility failure.
Avoiding high sewer connection or impact fees have allowed plants to open in jurisdictions and serve markets they otherwise would have never been able to access.
Environmental stewardship through resource conservation gives hope for future generations.
Wastewater is captured in the pit and pumped out before it would be discharged to sewer.
A process solids separating system removes suspended solids and other particulates from the waste stream.
The water is then pumped at high velocity through cross flow ceramic membrane housings and the transmembrane pressure pushes the permeate water out of the sub-micron pores.
The retentate is sent via a return line back to the process feed tank to be fed through again.
The permeate is sent to the recovered water tanks to be stored and pumped as needed back to the plant.
The concentrate left over in the feed tank is dewatered or metered to sewer at the end of each operating day.
