LiqTech Scrubber Water Treatment Unit – Best Value Configuration

Compact ceramic-membrane water treatment unit for closed-loop and hybrid scrubbers, 3–24 m3/h, handling up to 1500 mg/l TSS and producing discharge water well below 25 NTU.

Description

LiqTech's best value configuration is a compact scrubber wastewater treatment unit for closed-loop and hybrid scrubbers. It removes unburned fuel oil, soot, ash, heavy metals and other particles captured in the scrubber process, delivering water quality well below 25 NTU/FNU to meet IMO sulphur cap and local discharge limits.

Technical data

  • Capacity: 3–24 m3/h
  • Feed: up to 1500 mg/l TSS
  • Scrubber alkali: Mg-compounds or NaOH
  • Treated water: NTU/FNU well below 25

How it works

The unit is a low-pressure ultrafiltration system with silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic membranes in a cross-flow configuration. The feed flows tangentially across the membrane surface; the resulting turbulence sweeps particles back into the feed, keeping flux high. Permeate (clean water) passes to a permeate tank, while the retentate is up-concentrated and bled off as liquid sludge. SiC's hardness allows very high cross-flow velocities.

Key features

  • Reduced fouling and less need for backwash and CIP
  • Reduced operational downtime
  • High-concentration liquid sludge output
  • Configuration can be customised to the vessel's requirements
