Absolute and High Efficiency Rated Melt-Blown Depth Cartridges

WesTech ultrafiltration offers a unique solution to exceed increasingly stringent water quality standards. Membranes with a small nominal pore size (0.01-0.02 μm) provide an absolute barrier to consistently produce high-quality water by removing microbial and viral pathogens, suspended solids, turbidity, precipitated iron and manganese, and coagulated organic matter.

QUA’s CeraQ™ ceramic membrane modules are designed for challenging water and wastewater applications. These filters are ideal for wastewater recycle or reuse applications in a wide range of industries such as upstream oil and gas, petrochemicals, refinery, food beverage, and textiles. A variety of different pore sizes provides great flexibility to users in designing treatment system for applications covering the filtration spectrum of micro- to ultrafiltration.

As refinery operations are forced to generate more product output from marginal raw material sources with aging equipment, the requirement to maintain an acceptable quality of processing chemicals becomes more difficult. Activated carbon used in a fixed bed can continuously treat process chemicals, either in full or in a partial treatment stream to restore their properties in line with virgin product. This greatly enhances the economy of the production process and permits the conversion of more heavily contaminated resources that were previously difficult to exploit.
