 Ultrafiltration
Ultrafiltration plant is used for clarification and purification
of any water source: drilled wells, surface sources, waste
water and post- treatment of drinking water.
Ultrafiltration is the most efficient process of feed water
preparation for nanofiltration, reverse osmosis and
ion-exchange. Ultrafiltration provides a reliable barrier
against microorganisms and particles.

Ultrafiltration technology is used for removal of suspended

Ультрафильтрация

Considering only one area of the membrane application (water treatment), we can obtain that membrane usage is continuously
increasing. Regardless of the given problem, membrane plants can provide clear water of any water flow. But energy consumption,
membranes clogging (siltation), as well as membranes cost are barriers for their wider distribution. But these problems are becoming
insignificant because of the increasing of clearing membranes efficiency and their cost reduction at the market since 1995.
Ultrafiltration is progressively replacing the traditional clearing systems of drinking or industrial water production of natural or
recycled water, as well as in water pretreatment for osmotic systems.

Application
Drinking water production. Ultrafiltration can be used for
single-level water treatment, as well as in combination with the
coagulation, sedimentation, clarification or flotation.

Desalination or water reusability. Considering high-quality physical

characteristics of the obtained permeate, ultrafiltration can be
recommended as a preferred engineering solution for removal of the
clogging solids from the membranes before reverse osmosis plant.
Primarily, the Ultrafiltration membrane applications were effective for
reuse of municipal waste water, irrigation systems, and other water
resources.

Waste water treatment by the membrane bioreactor. Membrane

biological reactors (MBR) apply membranes with the internal filtration
surface as well as the submerged membranes. MBR is an effective
technical solution for the municipal and industrial wastewater
treatment of food, pulp and paper industries.

Application
Reverse osmosis systems are implemented for obtaining of
partially desalinated water.

Reverse osmosis is an effective engineering process for

partial water desalination. It is used for: filling and feeding of
cooling circuits; steam boilers feeding; incorporating
technological processes provided by various enterprises;
purification of drinking water for the food industry.

The main factor of Reverse Osmosis is applied an external

pressure. The amount of energy required for reverse osmosis
separation is directly proportional to the saline content of the
solution.

Membrane rack of the Reverse Osmosis

The higher saline content in the solution, the greater specific

energy consumption is needed for desalinated water. The Reverse Osmosis process is the most effective when saline content of
the source water is more than 500 mg / liter. As a result, there are two flows along the membrane: a permeate, that passes
through the membrane creating partially desalinated water; and a brine consisting of a concentrated solution of the original
saline levels.

Inhibitors are used for prevention of the loss of poorly soluble salts on the membrane surface. Prevention of the microbial
contamination of the membrane surface is accomplished by the treated source water with biocides.

Permeate recovery rate varies from 30% for sea desalination Modern reverse osmosis membranes are made of polyamide
to 80% for low saline content water desalination. It is materials. A wide range of materials and methods of their

The Process Description

Permeate, obtained in the reverse osmosis system, is divided in two flows before the EDI module. EDI feed water passes through
the desalination chambers, which are filled with ion exchange resin. Due to the electric field, ions move to the anode through the
ionite layer.
As a result, they pass through the anion permeable membrane to the concentrate flow. Cations move through the ionite layer in
the cathode direction; they pass through the cation permeable membrane to the concentrate flow.

Ions and concentrate flow leave the module. Electrolyte flow

removes ions and gases that appear on the electrodes; they leave the
module. What does EDI remove?
Because of the electric voltage, there is water decomposition in the Ions > 99,5 %

is observed in reference-list).

Control system of the arc furnace

The Automation Department includes:
More than 20 specialists;
More than 150 m2 of assembling areas;
Equipment warehouse;
Quality Control System.

Everyday energy resources are becoming more expensive. This is

followed by an increase in product costs and the reduction in
competitiveness of our products.
The primary method of energy recourses reduction is the
implementation of energy-saving operations. You must have the
proper tools for monitoring and reporting. These tools will promptly
report the structure of energy consumption and any deviation from
established norms of consumption for specific sites and the enterprise
as a whole.
It is necessary to have the control and account tools to inform about
the power consumption and deviation from the rated value of the
consumption rates. It is performed in a proper time not only at the
concrete sections but also at the whole company.
This tool is an Electricity Utility System (UMS).

 Ion-exchange technology
Main principle of the ion exchange is that water passes through
the resin bed where exchange of cations or anions is held. For
example, there is one of the softening methods – a sodium cycle.
In this case the calcium and magnesium ions, which form
insoluble sediments, dissolve in the water and exchange into
sodium ions in the equivalent amount.
Ion exchange technology is aplied in water treatment for
softening, dealkalization, denitration and water
demineralization.
A wide range of ion exchange resins, as well as various schemes
of plants allow us to produce equipment for many industries.
“HT Engineering” has implemented projects with the ion
exchange usage in the power engineering, metallurgy, galvanic
production, potable water supply, alcoholic beverage
production and food industry.

Puropack plant

We use Purolite (England) resins in our projects. Structurally the ion-exchange plants can be performed either by a conventional
direct-flow or a counterflow principles. Our company has an experience of Puropack technology implementation (clamped
layers) in the demineralization plants. Using this technology the water moves from the bottom upwards; during the
regeneration the flow direction changes from the top downward (in this case the resin layer is compressed by the ascending
current).
The advantages of Puropack technology: Housings of the ion-exchange filters are made of reinforced
Compressed layer regeneration is in the descending plastic or corrosion-preventive metal.

Reverse cycles. Cooling systems
The companies must evaluate the possibility of closed reverse systems
construction because of the water shortage and its value increasing. As
practice shows, economical and ecological estimations do not come into
conflict - both problems may be solved positively at the correct
technological approach. Regional programs of the water saving is
economically and ecologically efficient for many regions and can be
solved by “HT Engineering” Ltd. The example is a post treatment of
municipal wastewater with the purpose of its reuse in the industry,
irrigation, etc.
A great experience of the open and closed cooling systems development
helps us to represent our design of these cycles at the enterprises.
We have both the ability to create water treatment systems depending on
the quality requirements for circulating and the source water and to Cooling towers
design the water treatment systems of feed water, except the blowing of
the reverse circuits of the cooling systems. Thus we have water saving at
the water intake and there is no sewage water.

Stabilization treatment of cooling water

Its purpose is to prevent biogrowth, corrosion and scale formation in the
cooling equipment during the cooling system operation.
Inhibitors are used for the prevention of scale and corrosion formation.
They minimize these processes at low concentrations.
In order to create ideal chemical conditions for cooling systems, several
inhibitors can be applied which will enhance the effectiveness of each
other.

Neutralization
Together with water treatment plant, we offer equipment for the
neutralization and wastewater treatment for water treatment plants
(drainless schemes) and other technological equipment.
For these purposes the following technologies are used: chemical
treatment, coagulation, flocculation, flotation, sedimentation with the
further filtration and sludge dewatering.
Besides we have experience of evaporation plants application which treats
the concentrating saline waste water. Ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis
are traditionally used in water treatment.
“HT Engineering” Ltd. is developing direction of the biological
purification. The Company uses software GPS-X of Hydromantis
Company’s production for calculation of biological wastewater treatment
systems.
This program is based on the internationally accepted mathematical
models of the bioprocesses such as ASM-1, ASM-2, ASM-3, Mantis, and
others.
The program allows you to calculate and optimize the processes of
wastewater treatment by suspended and fixed mud water in the
conventional systems and membrane bioreactors. It estimates the quality
of treated wastewater at biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen
demand, suspended substances, nitrogen compounds, phosphorus and
specific impurities.
