ZM Environmental Technologies manufactures membrane systems for removing solids. The resulting BOD/COD reduction can be realized without the use of costly polymer chemicals, and solids can be removed without the inconsistency of DAF systems. A Dissolved Air Floatation system provides solids removal through the use of polymer chemicals and equipment that requires frequent cleaning and maintenance; while the membrane system uses no chemicals to remove solids, and regardless of varying amounts of effluent TSS, will always provide a consistent TSS wastewater discharge. Removal of the suspended solids will usually result in BOD/COD reduction.

Our skid system uses staged Ultrafiltration membranes to remove 97% of the solids. The "clean" water from the UF membrane then can be polished by a RO for 100% pure water or cleaned to 95% pure by a nanofiltration membrane. Both the RO and the NF membrane will remove 100% of dissolved sugars, and the RO will remove 100% of salts while the NF will remove up to 90% of salts.

Wastewater can be cleaned and reused by combining Ultrafiltration and either Nano or RO filtration systems that will provide pure water. Save a substantial amount money by eliminating effluent surcharges and eliminating chemical costs.

Recycling your wastewater will reduce or eliminate your wastewater discharge fees and surcharges, and can reduce plant fresh water consumption by 90%, thus resulting in substantial savings.

A demo unit is available for testing the process for your application. Most test results can be provided at the time of the demo. Please contact us for an appointment.
