Maximum Performance, Optimal Solution

HYDRAcap® MAX is used to treat a wide range of highly variable waters as either primary treatment or as pretreatment to reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF). Compared to conventional pretreatment, the HYDRAcap® MAX offers the combined benefits of high recovery and low footprint requirement due to its optimized membrane area and novel cleaning regimes. High strength PVDF membrane minimizes fiber breakage rate and ensures consistently superior filtrate quality, which enables RO and NF systems to be operated at higher fluxes, while maintaining longer intervals between cleanings.

Capillary Technology versus Conventional Pretreatment

Capillary Technology versus Conventional Pretreatment

 N/A
  • Smaller footprint
  • Reduced chemical consumption, especially of coagulants
  • Wastewater disposal is less problematic due to lower volume and decreased chemical consumption
  • Better filtrate quality, which is stable regardless of feed water quality variation
  • Increased efficiency of RO membrane system design and operation, contributing to reduced capital and operational costs
  • Maximizes RO performance by allowing elements to operate longer with less cleaning
