Veolia Water Technologies & Solutions has introduced a next-generation wastewater treatment solution, the evolved ZeeWeed 500EV, to help large municipalities meet urgent demand for increased capacity.
Veolia’s ZeeWeed ultrafiltration (UF) hollow-fiber membranes are designed with a robust life expectancy, giving you confidence in your water treatment system’s operation and helping you comply with regulatory requirements.
The ZeeWeed 500EV layout reduces membrane tank footprint by up to 50% and energy expenses by 20%. It has been used in municipal wastewater treatment expansion projects across North America.
“Our expertise in membrane technology and serving wastewater treatment facilities enabled us to expand our leading portfolio and respond quickly to the evolving needs of our customers,” says Thomas Buer, SVP, Technologies & Systems for Veolia Water Technologies & Solutions. “With advanced solutions like ZeeWeed 500EV, large municipalities are now able to more fully address today’s wastewater challenges while future-proofing their investments.”
ZeeWeed MBR hollow-fiber ultrafiltration membranes are used in reverse osmosis (RO) pretreatment, industrial wastewater, and wastewater reuse applications.
Around the world, they are in use in countless municipal, industrial, and commercial applications.
By converting its Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) plant to a Biological Nutrient Removal Membrane Reactor (BNR-MBR) facility for US$65.9 million, the City of Canton in Georgia, for instance, will increase its wastewater treatment capacity by 75% to 7 million gallons per day.
The City of Pooler in Georgia, which has used ZeeWeed MBR technology for almost two decades, is implementing a US$49 million expansion to its current wastewater treatment facility.
To handle population development and rising demand, they want to nearly quadruple the wastewater treatment plant’s capacity to 6.23 million gallons per day.
By incorporating ZeeWeed 500EV, the City of Pooler would have 40% greater membrane capacity in the future and 15% less energy would be used for membrane aeration.
“As municipalities continue to grow, enabling our customers to meet the heightened demand of treating more wastewater while lowering their environmental footprint is helping drive the future of wastewater treatment and water reuse,” says Buer.
ZeeWeed Hollow-Fiber Membrane Advantages
ZeeWeed UF membranes provide as a physical barrier to pathogens and suspended solids, consistently generating high-quality, low-turbidity effluent. The UF membranes from Veolia have a number of advantages for our clients.
1-Pressurized or immersed membranes to suit the site requirements.
2-Reinforced high-packing-density hollow fibers allow for greater output in the same footprint and helps reduce capital and lifecycle costs for the application.
3-Physical UF barrier provides consistent high-quality effluent exceeding stringent regulatory requirements through virtually any change in raw-water quality.
4-Low lifecycle cost optimized through extended membrane life and low energy and chemical use.
5-Commitment to innovation drives down cost of ownership over the life of the treatment plant.
