How important is membrane technology for recycling wastewater?
Tylla: I think it is a crucial technology because with conventional technologies you can’t produce the water to the standard that is needed to recycle it. You have to reduce the bacterial load in these waters, you have to reduce the particle load in these waters and you need membranes to do this. You also need to reduce the salt concentration in the water to reuse it and again membrane technology is the technology of choice. What significant products or installations have you implemented recently? Tylla: Our main product is what we call the Megamagnum reverse osmosis element. It is an 18 inch diameter reverse osmosis element. It has approximately seven times the membrane area of a conventional 8 inch membrane element. It reduces installation costs and investment costs. The space requirement for a system with these elements compared to conventional systems is approximately 30% less. You have a cost reduction because you have fewer connections in the systems and you have a smaller buildi
