NX Filtration, a global provider of breakthrough direct nanofiltration (dNF) membrane technology, announced that it was selected by GreenTech Environmental, a company for advanced water treatment and wastewater recycling in China, to supply its dNF membranes for a large-scale drinking water project in China.
The new full-scale project will use dNF membranes to produce drinking water from surface water, which is an increasingly important source for water production across China.
The order follows a pilot program of approximately one year, in which NX Filtration’s dNF technology was tested on the removal of emerging micropollutants from surface waters in China.
In anticipation of additional large-scale drinking water projects in China, GreenTech and NX Filtration also concluded a partnership agreement that forms the basis for further expansion across China. In this context, Greentech has started the development of standard pre-engineered modular systems, each with a capacity of 10,000 m3 per day (2.6 million gallons per day), based on NX Filtration’s dNF technology. These standard building blocks will enable fast delivery of future large-scale projects.
“We are very happy to engage NX Filtration on this first large-scale project based on their direct nanofiltration technology,” said David Wang, senior vice president at GreenTech. “Based on our extensive pilot tests we see the great potential of this technology, which effectively removes micropollutants from surface water whilst at the same time provides strong environmental benefits. We are looking forward to continuing to work with NX Filtration to engage in various drinking water projects across China.”
