정밀여과 멤브레인 기술 전문업체인 inge® GmbH사가 최근 자사에서 가장 큰 프로젝트를 보증했다. 또, 인도 Jamnagar시에 있는 담수화 플랜트에 사용될 대용량의 정밀여과(UF) 기술을 공급할 계획이라고 밝혔다. T-Rack® 3.0 시리즈의 4천개 이상의 모듈이 하루에 45만㎥의 처리수를 나라에서 가장 큰 오일 정제공장에 제공할 것으로 기대된다.

이 담수화 플랜트는 IDE Technologies사가 건설하고 있으며, 민감한 역삼투 멤브레인을 보호하고 에너지 차지공간을 최소화하기 위해 인지(inge) 정밀여과를 사용할 계획이다.

 

 

 

Ultrafiltration (UF) membrane technology specialist inge® GmbH, a subsidiary of BASF SE, has recently secured the largest project in the company's history and will supply high-capacity UF technology for a desalination plant in the city of Jamnagar, India. More than 4,000 modules from the T-Rack® 3.0 series will provide 450,000 cubic meters of pretreated water per day to one of the country's largest oil refineries.

 

The desalination plant is being built by IDE Technologies, a global water treatment specialist, and will use inge UF to protect the sensitive reverse osmosis (RO) membranes and minimize the energy footprint of the plant. After multiple seawater pretreatment steps, the desalination plant will deliver up to 170,000 cubic meters of process water per day.

 

"Onsite pilot testing confirmed that our T-Rack 3.0 ultrafiltration modules meet the very demanding performance requirements in terms of process stability, filtrate quality and yield, especially during the monsoon period," said inge CEO Bruno Steis. "Our unique technology delivers a continuous supply of pre-filtered water at a consistently high-quality level independent of seasonal fluctuations with high turbidity, thereby helping to reduce the plant's energy and operating cost significantly."

 

The German-made modules are scheduled for delivery by the end of this year. The entire desalination plant is scheduled for commissioning in 2015 and represents one of the biggest UF plants currently being built anywhere in the world.
