NANO-FILTRATION PLANT -  PROCESS

The process of a nanofiltration (NF) plant involves several stages to treat water and remove specific contaminants and dissolved substances using nanofiltration membranes. Here's an overview of the typical process involved in a nanofiltration plant:

1. Pre-Treatment :

Raw water enters the nanofiltration plant after undergoing pre-treatment to remove large particles, suspended solids, and other contaminants. Pre-treatment may include processes such as screening, sedimentation, coagulation, flocculation, and filtration to protect the nanofiltration membranes and optimize performance.

2. Nanofiltration Process :

The pre-treated water is pressurized and forced through nanofiltration membranes, which are semi-permeable barriers with pore sizes typically ranging from 1 to 10 nanometers (nm).

Nanofiltration membranes are made of thin films of polymeric materials and have selective permeability properties that allow water molecules and smaller ions to pass through while rejecting larger ions, organic molecules, and particles.

Nanofiltration membranes selectively remove divalent ions (e.g., calcium, magnesium), organic matter, disinfection by-products (DBPs), natural organic matter (NOM), and other contaminants from water based on their size, charge, and molecular weight.

The purified water that passes through the nanofiltration membranes, known as permeate or product water, is collected for various applications such as drinking water, industrial process water, or wastewater reuse.
Concentrate Management:

The concentrated stream containing rejected contaminants, known as concentrate or retentate, is discharged from the nanofiltration plant. The concentrate typically has higher concentrations of dissolved solids and contaminants compared to the feed water.

Depending on the specific requirements and regulations, the concentrate may be further treated, recycled, or disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner.

3. pH Adjustment and Chemical Stabilization (Optional) :

Depending on the quality of the feed water and the desired water chemistry, pH adjustment and chemical stabilization may be performed to optimize the performance of the nanofiltration membranes and maintain water quality.

Chemical additives such as acids, bases, and antiscalants may be added to adjust pH, control scaling, and prevent fouling of the membranes.

4. Monitoring and Control :

Throughout the process, various parameters such as feed flow rate, pressure, temperature, pH, conductivity, and permeate quality are monitored and controlled to ensure optimal performance and water quality.
Automated control systems may be employed to regulate the operation of pumps, valves, and other equipment based on real-time data and feedback.

By following these stages, a nanofiltration plant can effectively treat water and remove specific contaminants and dissolved substances to produce clean and purified water for various applications, including drinking water, industrial process water, and wastewater reuse.
