KMS FEG™ Tubular UF Oily Waste Treatment: 1978

KMS FEG™ Tubular UF: Major Applications
• General Metalworking
– Water-soluble coolants, cutting and grinding oils, machining lubricants, discharges from parts
washer tanks, rinsewaters, and floor washings
• Primary Metal
– Rolling and drawing oils used as lubricants and coolants in ferrous and non-ferrous operations,
coatings and heavy metal bearing wastewater treatment
• Waste Collection
– Emulsified and water-soluble oily wastes collected by waste haulers
• Food Processing
– Edible fats and oils from animal and vegetable processing and CIP
• Textiles
– Laundry water recovery and recycle, textile processing wastewaters
• MBR, bioeffluent polishing
– External UF MBR projects at <30,000 gpd
• Leachate treatment
• Electronics

KMS FEG™ Tubular UF: Comparative Advantage
• Advantages
– Plug resistant, forgiving of upsets, suitable for demanding wastewater treatment
environments
– Robust industrial construction, long membrane life (up to 15 yrs)
– High flux, charged membrane specific for waste treatment
– Up to 140° F, 90 psig operation
– Max wastewater volume reduction (typically 99%+)
– High final solids capability (up to 65% TS concentrate)
– Infrequent cleanings, mechanically cleanable (enhanced cleaning for high fouling,
tough duty streams)
– Simple low cost prefiltration (3,000-5,000 μm)
– Competitive relative capital, operating and maintenance cost
• Disadvantages
– Relatively high power consumption, comparatively large system footprint
– Not backflushable, no reverse flow as standard
– Non-repairable, leaks not isolatable in operation without system shutdown

Advantages of PURON® Technology
High Reliability Minimal Need for Cleaning

• Braided fiber – reduced risk • Single Header – better
of fiber breakage solids management
• Fail-safe aeration system: • Effective air scouring
no trouble after blower eliminates clogging
failure
Reduced Equipment Costs Reduced Energy Demand

• Optimized air scouring –Smaller • Lowest energy demand of
blowers all MBR modules
• Simple prescreening • Power for air scouring as
(3 mm perforated plate) low as 0.09 kWh/m3*
