Ceramic Membrane Applications - Nanostone Water

Surface water sources like rivers and lakes are commonly used in power plants, but their variability in turbidity, organics, among others, demands extensive pre-treatment to protect RO membranes. Nanostone’s advanced ceramic UF membranes combine multiple pre-treatment steps into a single operation, offering unmatched durability and fouling resistance. This ensures high-purity water for boiler systems, preventing scaling, corrosion, and fouling, and maintaining efficient, low-maintenance operation.

As cooling tower water cycles and evaporates, total dissolved solids (TDS) and hardness concentrate, requiring the periodic ‘blowdown’ of water and its replacement with freshwater. This cooling tower blowdown (CTBD) wastewater carries high salt concentrations and chemical additives used in the cooling process. Nanostone’s ceramic membrane technology provides a reliable, single-step solution, enhancing water reuse and improving system efficiency. It shields reverse osmosis (RO) systems by reducing fouling and extending membrane lifespan.

In mining, essential resource extraction often clashes with environmental concerns, particularly in wastewater management. Mining wastewater accumulates heavy metals, suspended solids, and chemical residues, rendering it unfit for reuse or discharge without treatment. Nanostone’s ceramic membrane technology offers a sustainable path in responsible water stewardship.
