Filtration
for Dye Color Concentration
Ciba Chooses PCI-Memtech
Nanofiltration
As part of its continued commitment
to improve the overall waste management at its Mahachai textile
dyestuff manufacturing facility, Swiss-owned Ciba Specialty
Chemicals Industries Ltd (Thailand) recently commissioned
PCI-Memtech to provide a new nanofiltration (NF) plant for the
concentration of the highly colored wastewater prior to special
disposal.
During
an earlier plant upgrade, which improved the overall production
efficiency, PCI-Memtech had installed an NF plant configured with
tubular membranes which offer low risk of blockage and increase dye
concentration from about 10 % to 25% TS prior to spray drying. This
original tubular NF plant has 240 m2 of membrane area and has
increased yield and improved drying performance.
Following this earlier success,
PCI-Memtech recently installed a second tubular NF plant at Ciba in
Mahachai, including a clean-in-place (CIP) tank and pump skid, for
the treatment of the highly colored wastewater. The plant is
equipped with PCI proprietary nanofiltration membranes capable of
dye color retention & concentration but enabling salt/water
passage through the membranes, and treats the highly colored
effluent that would previously have passed to the existing
conventional wastewater treatment plant. This effluent is pH
adjusted and conditioned, prior to the NF process.
During NF processing, highly colored
wastewater is concentrated (i.e. the retentate) and separated from
water and salt solution (i.e. the permeate). The permeate is then
fed to the existing wastewater treatment works on site. The
retentate is stored, thus allowing a smaller volume of more
concentrated liquor to be disposed of. Installation of this second
tubular NF plant is designed to improve effluent handling efficiency
by processing 50 m3/day of highly colored waste waters.
With a high percentage of Mahachai’s
produce exported, PCI-Memtech’s NF plants help to make Ciba
Specialty Chemicals Industries Ltd in Thailand an environmentally
acceptable world-class manufacturing operation for textile
dyestuffs. PCI-Memtech offers technology that can be applied
throughout industry for dyestuff processing and for separation of specialty
chemicals.

Ms. Shrump needs legal and
technical advise:
We are being sued by a company for a
mercury leak in a rotary distributor for a wastewater treatment plant
that my father had installed for his company under permit in 1955.
We have not owned this property since 1966. A mercury seal leak was
reported to the National Response Center and DEQ on 7/14/99.
The recovery claim being filed by the
current plant owner against my family is for $803,000 for the clean
up cost. The Company claims that the mercury seal was banned from
use in 1971 in Virginia for this usage. No one in EPA or Virginia
DEQ has any information on the use of the mercury seal.

I am working with a wastewater
facility in a very cold environment who has course bubble diffusers
in their lagoons. They are concerned about freezing in the
diffusers, so even when air is not required for treatment they
operate one blower to prevent this from occurring. Is this a
common problem, and if so what other solutions exist? This
seems like a lot of wasted energy to me.
