Silica removal

Downstream of Ion Exchange (IX) and Reverse Osmosis (RO)

Silica is available in three forms

1. Particulate (sand particles)

2. Colloidal or polymerized (silicone dioxide)

3. Reactive (ionized)

Specification for power plants:

<<< 1 ppm (≈ 20 ppb)

Pretreatment removes (1).

IX and RO remove (3).

IX does NOT remove (2).

RO partly removes (2).

Silica removal

Upstream of Ion Exchange (IX) and Reverse Osmosis (RO)

Competitive advantages

• Cost savings in pretreatment (OPEX and CAPEX)

• Currently no competing product

57

Performance of new Nanofiltration versus

State of the art Ultrafiltration with coagulation

1. Ten times better removal of colloidal silica

2. No coagulant needed

3. Can be used in pretreatment instead of as polishing

4. HFs nano membrane Pore size 25% smaller than competitive 10,000 Dalton products

5. Status HFs nano membrane modules commercially available Q4 of 2011
