Inge Watertechnologies Introduces T-Rack Vario Filtration System
Send Via E-MailGREIFENBERG, GERMANY - August 6, 2010 - WastewaterPR.com - The “T-Rack” system from inge watertechnologies AG is already regarded as a hydrodynamic solution that makes optimum use of the available space when installing UF modules, but the developers have now made some key changes that have made the system even better.
T-Rack vario
The German company inge watertechnologies AG is widely regarded as one of the world's leading technology pioneers in water ultrafiltration. Thanks to its patented, break-proof membranes and a number of projects involving increasingly large-scale water treatment plants – including a Chinese plant with a treatment capacity of 110,000 m³ a day – inge has now achieved an impressive market volume that is starting to attract considerable interest in the USA.
The high-quality, German-made products developed by inge are now used all over the world to treat many different types of water – including drinking water, waste water and industrial process water – and are increasingly also being employed as a means of pretreating seawater for reverse osmosis. With such a broad variety of potential applications, ultrafiltration systems must have the ability to adapt to myriad different requirements, especially with regard to their configuration and footprint. While sea water treatment plants are often built in desert regions where there is normally plenty of space for the facility, conventional drinking water treatment plants designed to recycle water for industrial use are frequently confined to much smaller spaces. Typically, these plants are only willing to modernise their facilities on condition that no major building work or structural alterations are required. The footprint of the rack system is therefore a major criteria in this decision-making process.
The “T-Rack” system from inge watertechnologies AG is already regarded as a hydrodynamic solution that makes optimum use of the available space when installing UF modules, but the developers have now made some key changes that have made the system even better.
The feed and drain pipes are integrated in the end caps of the headers, the filtrate connections are welded to the module bodies and headers, there are no O-rings and all the flanges of the header pipes are mounted in the same plane. The modules can be arranged in either two or four rows and each row can be operated as a separate filtration line.
This concept offers unparalleled flexibility and helps keep investment and operating costs to a minimum.
Bruno Steis, CEO of inge watertechnologies AG, comments: “We have already won acclaim in the USA for our break-proof membranes and our five-year warranty against fiber breakage, and our new space-saving, cost-cutting solutions are now giving us a further competitive edge. I feel confident that we can expect a great response from the US market with our new technical innovation, the T-Rack vario.”
