In its ongoing commitment to implementing innovative technologies, SITRA has built a pilot plant of Inverse osmosis using "disc-tube" membranes (DTRO) made of polyamide. A specially designed installation to offer effective solutions for the treatment of landfill leachate, digestate, and highly complex wastewater.
The plant, with a treatment capacity of between 50 and 150 L/h - depending on the characteristics of the effluent - minimizes the pretreatment (chemical precipitation, staged filtration, among others) and fouling and scaling thanks to its short feed flow and high load density.
Other advantages offered by this system are that it allows working with high levels of conductivity, COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand), BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) and has very compact dimensions.
The installation designed by SITRA also allows for industrial testing in the widest sectors and applications, as it has a very complete treatment line that includes processes such as reception tank, pH adjustment, silica filtration, cartridge microfiltration and reverse osmosis.
Furthermore, the fields of application of this technology are very diverse, and among them stand out the treatment and reuse of leachate from landfills and mines, wastewater and effluent in the pharmaceutical industry, the collection and treatment of oily waste in the steel industry, the recovery of metals and recycling of waste, the common and combined treatment and recycling of effluents, the treatment of high COD/BOD wastewater, the recycling of waste from demineralization plants, the recycling of hazardous chemical wastewater and digestates from waste plants.
