Brine Concentration
WEC Projects designs, manufactures and supplies a comprehensive range of packaged treatment systems for brine concentration utilising membrane technology.
When it comes to reducing the environmental liability – reducing your waste volume and making it more manageable becomes especially important. Various membrane technologies or evaporation techniques may be used to decrease the volume of any concentrated brine streams produced from wastewater treatment processes.
Due to new regulations, it is becoming harder to store brine solutions in dams due to the long-term environmental concerns:
“The national norms and standards under the Act prohibit landfill disposal of brine or waste with a high salt content (>5%) and a leachable concentration for total dissolved solids of >100 000 mg/l, (ban effective from 2021).”
Waste streams from general industry, mine processing and acid mine drainage, containing high concentrations of dissolved salts, as well as concentrate streams from membrane processes, must be disposed of responsibly and in an environmentally acceptable manner.
Benefits
Reducing the volumes and increasing the salt concentrations of your brine streams leads to the following benefits
Services We Offer
WEC Projects provides various techniques to increase brine concentration
Brine concentration improvements are vital in wastewater management activities, especially when resource recovery is required or options that are needed to head towards zero liquid discharge.
AMBC Technology
AMBC technology is an advanced membrane technology that has the ability to concentrate brine the salt concentration in brine streams up to 160,000 mg/l. It is a non-thermal system using only electrical energy, thereby consuming a fraction of energy compared to thermal evaporation systems.
Additional advantages include lower operating costs, less expensive maintenance, and ease of operation.
