Water and Wastewater

Areas of operation Water and Wastewater

Municipal Wastewater
Municipalities worldwide are faced with wastewater challenges due to population growth, changing regulations, failing infrastructure or outdated technology. Our membrane bioreactor modules and systems provide reliable, energy-efficient performance to meet the necessary demands for water discharge and reuse, including tertiary treatment. Effluents of our wastewater treatment systems comply with strict discharge limits, as well as water reuse targets.

Ideal for:
• Municipal wastewater

Drinking Water
With nearly 800 million people suffering from a scarce supply of clean water worldwide, our advanced membrane filtration is helping municipalities to purify their water supplies. Our technologies are made to comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act and World Health Organization guidelines, and we continue to innovate for the changing needs of tomorrow. Our cost-effective ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis systems make surface water safe to source by removing turbidity, suspended solids, bacteria and viruses. They also provide a positive barrier to contaminents that conventional media filtration cannot guarantee.

Ideal for:
• Ground water
• Surface water
• Brackish water
• Seawater

PFAS 
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), including PFOA, PFOS, and other compounds, have been identified as emerging contaminants of concern for both drinking water supplies and wastewater discharge. PFAS-related regulations and guidance are becoming increasingly focused and stringent. Our RO and ion exchange technologies are ideal for removing many of these chemicals from water to reduce detectable levels.

Ideal for:
• Ground water
• Surface water
• Fluorinated manufacturing processes

Desalination 
Our filtration and separation solutions for desalination operations on naturally occurring water sources function by removing both suspended and dissolved solids to as low as ultra-pure levels, where required. These methods significantly reduce the waste of water, heat, energy, labor, and cleaning chemicals as compared with conventional technologies, and production quality is improved at lower costs.

Ideal for:
• Seawater
• Brackish water

LEACHATE TREATMENT WITH REVERSE OSMOSIS 
Exxro develops and builds reverse osmosis plants to process civil and industrial waters, which through the principle of inversion of water flow from a more concentrated to a less concentrated solution, is able to separate soluble salts and the organic molecules from water.

The Exxro reverse osmosis plants are designed with flat membranes, based on specific customer requirements, to efficiently solve every purification requirement that involves all types of wastewater.

These plants are used to process leachate in landfills, desalinate sea water and purify brackish water, as well as industrial waste water, in order to recycle the purified water in a zero-discharge circuit.

OPTIMISED 
Through a very accurate preliminary analysis of the liquid to be treated, the Exxro engineering department develops the best configuration to maximise both quantitative and qualitative results.

MODULAR    
Exxro systems are manufactured on customer request and installed inside insulated containers or on specifically designed skids.

AUTOMATED    
EXXRO plants are fully automated, complete with remote control systems.

MONITORED    
A continuous monitoring system of the output water parameters ensures the safety of the water at the drain according to the legislation discharge table.

THE BENEFITS OF EXXRO REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEMS

SIMPLIFIED PRE-FILTRATION

Exxro modules, equipped with open channel technology, are able to process waste with a quality of SDI 15 times higher than traditional membranes.

HIGH WATER RECOVERY RATES WITH LOW ENERGY COSTS

Design of specific plants, high efficiency electric motors and design details allow for high recovery with low energy costs.

LOW OPERATING CHEMICAL COSTS

Thanks to their particular construction, Exxro modules do not require a large amount of detergent for their regeneration.

LONG LIFE OF THE MEMBRANE

The combination of membranes with a high quality film and a simple and effective integrated cleaning system ensures a long life of the membranes for up to 4 years of uninterrupted operation.

LOWER MEMBRANE REPLACEMENT COSTS

The modular membrane system offers the possibility of replacing individual membrane sheets and reducing costs.

HIGH QUALITY OUTPUT WATER

The Exxro membrane system is the latest technical discovery, has high chemical stability and high re-injection ensuring a high quality permeate.

COMPACT AND FLEXIBLE MODULAR UNITS

The modular design and construction of all Exxro systems simplifies transport and installation, allowing flexible use even in limited spaces.

MAINTENANCE, OPERATION AND ASSISTANCE AT LOW COSTS

Clear access to all the main components and pipes, to perform quick and effective inspections and maintenance. Automatic operation and system regulation, fail-safe design ensures correct, safe and reliable operation of the system.

SHORT START-UP TIMES FOR THE PLANTS

Since all EXXRO systems are fully assembled and tested at the factory, the systems can be installed in a short time without any civil engineering construction.
