LoopGuard

The problem

As mills reuse more water, salts build up in their process water. The result is scaling, corrosion and process chemistry that stops performing.

Benefits

• Lower fresh water intake and effluent volume
• Less scaling and corrosion, so fewer descaling shutdowns
• More stable wet-end chemistry and lower additive use
• Deeper loop closure than volume-based treatment allows

Application

Takes treated effluent from the WWTP, removes the salts that limit reuse, and returns the water to the mill. Adaptive electromembrane separation adjusts in real time as effluent quality shifts.
