TOULOUSE, France, Jan. 29, 2009 -- With the membrane ALTEON™, Nantong city in China will equip its new drinking water treatment plant with the state of the art Ultrafiltration process and confirm its will to combine innovations and environment protection.
Nantong city, part of the Jiangsu province located at the north of Shanghai, has decided to equip its new drinking water treatment plant with the latest ultrafiltration technology: ALTEON™, the new hydrophilic polysulfone membrane developed by Aquasource.
The plant will have a drinking water production capacity of 10 000m³/day. It will be designed and executed in partnership with the Wuxi Municipal Design Institute and the local Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) SPE (Purification Equipment).
The plant, equipped with Aquasource new modules with a surface of 93m² will be able to treat settled water from the Yangtze River. The ALTEON™ hydrophilic polysulfone modules offer, as today, the largest surface of filtration available on the market worldwide.
Aquasource has been selected based on its new Ultrafiltration offer, "RACK ALTEON," dedicated to large plants which enables OEM partners to benefit from an easy, secured and optimal integration of the ALTEON ™ technology. This comes with supporting tools for the design and the Rack conception, and a technical training program.
After the recent contract signed for a process water UF treatment with the food industry in Morocco, the Nantong city project in China confirms the high performances of the membrane ALTEON™ and the large potential development of Aquasource OEM offer on the international market.
Aquasource is a divison of Degrémont-Technologies part of Degrémont group (SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT). Aquasource designs and manufactures fibers and modules components that are integrated by OEM partners in treatment systems as well as autonomus Ultrafiltration units.
