POSEIDON Ecoplant Technologies recently delivered a full-scale compact and automated XtremeUF ultrafiltration system to an advanced materials manufacturing plant in the US. XtremeUF removes specific contaminants that conventional clarifiers and polymeric ultrafiltration have struggled with, either due to reliability, excessive chemical consumption, or space requirements. Ceramic ultrafiltration improves overall water balance at lower operating costs while saving valuable floor space. POSEIDON Ecoplant has more XtremeUF systems in production, which it will be delivering this year.
Malcolm Man, POSEIDON Ecoplant executive vice president, describes XtremeUF as “a self-cleaning robot built around widely available ceramic membrane elements. The hardened non-polymeric membranes can take a beating and our customers are not beholden to a single supplier since we use commoditized membrane elements. POSEIDON Ecoplant value-add is a compact, high-quality skid with our innovative and proprietary process control that keeps the system operating at peak capacity. We are thrilled to see important industries such as manufacturing, mining, and power generation benefiting from XtremeUF.”
