Water reuse

Minimal liquid discharge

Challenge

  • Heavy metal wastewater
  • Very strict specifications for process water (ppb level ion concentrations)

Result

  • Physicochemical wastewater treatment plant for bulk removal of nickel, manganese and cobalt
  • Containerized treatment plant using ultrafiltration, double pass reverse osmosis and electrodeionisation for removal of lithium and remaining ions
  • Demineralised water
  • RO concentrate volume reduced using evaporation with mechanical vapour recompression
  • Capacity = 2 x 10 m³/h
