Amiad awarded $2.85m project in Korean steel industry
Amiad, a leading global producer of water treatment and
filtration solutions, announces that it has entered into an
agreement for the next stage of a water filtration project with one
of South Korea's largest steel factories. This new agreement is
worth $2.85m, and is expected to be implemented in 2012. This
agreement follows the successful completion of the initial two
phases of the project, valued at approximately $3m, that were
carried out between 2007 and 2011.
As part of the project, Amiad will install its innovative,
microfibre filtration system in order to treat wastewater and
protect the factory's reverse osmosis membranes. Reverse osmosis
involves water being filtered by passing through membranes under
high pressure. Traditional methods use a large amount of chemicals
and energy to pre-treat the water to remove dirt and other
impurities, which are harmful to the reverse osmosis membranes.
Amiad's microfibre filtration process, however, is chemical- and
polymer-free, and designed to provide continuous performance even
under difficult water and weather conditions.
Arik Dayan, CEO of Amiad Water Systems, said: "We are pleased to
be continuing to provide innovative solutions to the Korean
industrial sector, something we have been doing since 1993, and to
be strengthening our position in the provision of reverse osmosis
membrane protection - one of our key growth areas. We were chosen
because our solution is economical and our filtration systems do
not use chemicals, which removes the risk of them being discharged
back into the environment. We look forward to working closely with
our customer to provide an end-to-end solution from initial
comprehensive consultation to successfully implementing this
project."
The solution to be integrated within this stage of the project
is a unique filtering technology using microfibres, which enables
Amiad to offer finer filtration that meets the standards set by
membrane manufacturers; the standard for drinking water, such as
the British DWI; and standards for tertiary treatment of
wastewater. The technologies provided by Amiad Water Systems offer
a clean filtration solution for all water sources, while ensuring
savings in energy and space, and a limited use of rinse water and
need for maintenance.
