Cooling Tower Blowdown
Advanced Ceramic Membrane Filtration for Cooling Tower Blowdown Treatment
Why Nanostone for Cooling Tower Blowdown?
Approach & Benefits
Our Ceramic Ultrafiltration Membranes offer an innovative solution to the challenges of treating CTBD, providing several key benefits:
- Simplified Treatment Scheme: Our solution is coupled with a softening clarifier, which reduces complexity compared to alternative approaches that typically use multimedia filtration and polymeric UF. This integration enhances efficiency, simplifies the process and reduces the footprint of the treatment system.
- Long-Lifetime Physical Barrier: The softening clarifier combined with the ceramic UF solution eliminates abrasive particles that would otherwise disrupt downstream processes such as RO.
- Robust Operation: Our ceramic membrane technology effectively handles the variability of cooling tower blowdown wastewater, ensuring consistent performance and protecting reverse osmosis (RO) systems by reducing fouling and extending membrane lifespan.
- Increased Recovery: Our system achieves a higher recovery rate than competing schemes, leading to increased uptime and lower overall operational expenses (OPEX).
