Process Water

Hydroflux specialises in supplying advanced equipment for the treatment of process water in manufacturing. Their membrane processes, including reverse osmosis (RO) and ultrafiltration (UF), effectively remove dissolved solids, minerals, and impurities, providing exceptional quality purified water for various industrial applications. Hydroflux’s demineralisation and ion exchange technologies allow manufacturers to tailor their water treatment to eliminate specific minerals or ions that may disrupt their unique manufacturing processes. Additionally, Hydroflux offers disinfection solutions such as chlorination, UV irradiation, or ozone treatment to ensure the water is free from harmful microorganisms.

By partnering with Hydroflux, manufacturers gain access to reliable and cutting-edge equipment, enabling them to achieve optimal water quality for smooth and efficient manufacturing operations.

Multimedia filtration

Pressurised media filtration provides a simple solution to treating raw water and process water to remove fine particulates, colloidal solids as well dissolved organics and heavy metals.

With some modifications to the process, the MMF systems can be design to accommodate Greensand to enhance metal removal or activated carbon for numerous other applications.

The HyPURE range of MMF can be utilised in a wide variety of applications including:

• Pretreatment of advanced water from industrial process water sources.
• Production of process and potable water for industry from bore water and surface water supplies.
• Pretreatment prior to demineralisation or ion exchange.
• Pretreatment prior to HyPURE RO for hygienic process water or production of infant formula, dairy products, beverages, cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.
• Treatment of process water to meet strict environmental discharge standard – particularly with the inclusion of green sand media.
• As a component in Zero liquid discharge plants from industrial processes.

Our expertise in process water gives us a unique edge in the industry, as we design our systems to manage water sources with the highest risk of scaling and biofouling. This conservative approach leads to extended filter life, low energy consumption, minimum downtime and maximum recovery.

NX filtration

The unique HyPURE® NX hollow fibre nanofiltration cross flow modules provide numerous benefits over spiral wound designs and offers new opportunities for water reuse, potable, and process water treatment.

HyPURE® NX uses direct nanofiltration hollow fibre membranes that can remove organics, hardness, micro-pollutants, colour, medical residues, PFAS and endocrine disruptors from contaminated water streams.

Unlike RO systems, HyPURE® NX does not target the rejection of dissolved inorganic salts and will often achieve a suitable water quality for discharge or high-quality reuse, without the challenges associated with the production and costly disposal of a concentrated salt or brine stream.
