Functionality of the spiral membrane module WD

Acid recovery using the WD membrane spiral module.

ADVANTAGES OF WD-MODULE IN SURFACE TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS

HIGH PERFORMANCE

The WD Membrane Spiral Module excels in achieving the highest recovery rates.

For instance, in an anodizing process, it can recover up to 95 % of the free acid from the purge stream, with less than 1 % of the aluminum returning to the process along with the recovered acid. In the case of base recovery processes, our WD Membrane Spiral Module attains an impressive 70% recovery of the free base.

The recovery of acids or bases using our WD Membrane Spiral Modules can also be utilized for metal recovery processes. Please feel free to contact us to assess your application, including special cases

OPERATING COSTS

The continuous operation of diffusion dialysis allows core processes, e.g., in surface treatment, to operate steadily at the optimum operating point, resulting in minimal material losses and the highest product quality.

Subsequent waste management also becomes more cost-effective due to diffusion dialysis with WD Membrane Spiral Modules. Environmental guidelines can be complied with reduced operating costs.

Additionally, the replacement of membrane spiral modules leads to very low costs compared to conventional plate and frame membrane devices for diffusion dialysis.

SUSTAINABILITY

WD Membrane Spiral Module enables nearly complete recovery of free acids and bases. These recovered raw materials can be further utilized at the highest value level and reduce the salt load in wastewater.

COMPACT & MODULAR DESIGN

With its high-volume density of the membrane surface, the WD Membrane Spiral Module can process considerably more solution than conventional devices within the same space requirement. This design also enables high process availability and minimizes maintenance time. The modules are easily scalable according to your requirement.
