Problem
Industrial and municipal wastewater treatment processes often struggle to efficiently remove contaminants and recover clean water for reuse, leading to increased water scarcity and environmental concerns. Traditional methods can be energy-intensive and may not effectively handle complex waste streams with high salinity or suspended solids.
Solution
Fluid Technology Solutions (FTS) provides advanced membrane-based solutions for industrial wastewater treatment, brine concentration, and zero liquid discharge (ZLD). Their core technology leverages forward osmosis (FO) to separate water from dissolved solids using a semi-permeable membrane and natural osmotic pressure, reducing the need for external hydraulic pressure. This approach enables the recovery of high volumes of clean water for reuse while minimizing energy consumption and handling high-fouling feed streams. FTS integrates FO with complementary pre- and post-treatment technologies to deliver comprehensive water recovery, salt concentration, and mineral purification solutions.
Target Audience
FTS serves industrial, municipal, and humanitarian clients, including those in power generation, textile manufacturing, pulp & paper, mining, oil & gas, landfill leachate management, desalination, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and biogas digestion.
