Belgian water supplier commissioned integrated membrane system with advanced pressurized filtration from Aria Filtra to meet various water quality requirements.
In 2008, Belgian municipal water supplier Tussengemeentelijke Maatschappij der Vlaanderen voor Watervoorziening (TMVW) saw an opportunity to expand into the industrial water supply industry. TMVW decided to create Induss II, a fully integrated water production site in the port of Ghent, to serve surrounding industrial customers with water. TMVW, in cooperation with Antwerpse Water Werken, decided to create Induss, a separate company for industrial water, to take over and operate new and existing plants in the industry in Belgium.
To successfully infiltrate this new market, the plant operators needed to identify and implement a water treatment system capable of meeting the wide variety of water quality demands and requirements for process, cooling, boiler, and high-pressure (HP) boiler water. In addition, the solution needed to comply with local regulations regarding the amount of water the plant could extract from the local river, which serves as the main water source. This water also posed a unique challenge because the river quality has high seasonal variability and salinity.
Ultimately, the Induss II plant selected Aria Filtra® due to its compact, robust, and proven membrane solution, along with the company's support and expertise. Facility operators invested in our Aria FLEX integrated membrane system, using the advanced pressurized membrane filtration to successfully meet the four different water quality requirements.
Following the implementation of the Aria FLEX system, the Induss II plant was able to meet feedwater demands and comply with necessary regulations and permit limitations. This was critical for the plant as Induss II's water demand fluctuates due to flow levels and regulations, and the water source soars during the summer months. The flexible system was able to meet all water treatment demands for process water, cooling water, boiling water, and HP boiler feedwater. The membrane solution has proven critical for capacity, particularly given the system's ability to scale to meet peak demand.
