Q-SEP® modules replace other manufacturer’s membranes to meet client’s performance criteria, result in reliable and trouble free RO operation.

Client places repeat order for Phase II!

Total Q-SEP Membranes: 10 (replacement) + 14 (repeat order)

Permeate Flow: 22m³/hr. + 30m³/hr.

Application: Automotive plant effluent treatment

QUA supplied 10 numbers of Q-SEP 6008 for this plant. Q-SEP operates at a 33% higher flux of 40 LMH as compared to the competitor’s membranes which operate at a flux of 29-30 LMH, and thus less numbers were required for replacement. Q-SEP thus enabled the client save on total system cost, because of lesser number of membranes required. The replaced Q-SEP membranes have now been operating since April 2019, and the client is very satisfied with the performance of the system:

• Q-SEP has continuously provided a consistent permeate output of 22m3/hr.
• The SDI at the outlet of Q-SEP is 2 or less, 100% of the time.
• Permeate turbidity has been <0.3 NTU.
• The Q-SEP pretreatment has resulted in lower RO cleaning frequency.

The Client has rewarded Q-SEP’s superior performance by placing a repeat order of 14 membranes for their phase II expansion project. These were commissioned in July 2019.
