By 2025, the amount of people around the globe living in water-stressed areas is expected to rise to 5.1 billion, and it is predicted to increase to 6.5 billion by the year 2085. With diminishing fresh water supplies around the world, there is a growing need for economical treatment and reuse of wastewater.
With a dire need for products and engineering services of the highest quality to treat our most precious resource, Synder is as committed as ever to developing new and innovative solutions for water and wastewater treament. We are focused on helping our customers develop new membrane applications, even if the project requires highly customized systems and/or new membrane formulations. We approach every project with the expertise and personal responsivenss that has come to define “The Synder Difference” in customer service.
OUR MOST COMMON APPLICATIONS
Ultrapure Water Production
Synder’s Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems are the preferred method for ultrapure water production for numerous applications. With up to 99.5% rejection of all non-water molecules, Synder offers a complete range of RO systems in both capacities and control features. The systems are custom designed based on a water analyses and can be customized to your specifications in construction materials, power requirements, specific components and instrumentation, and control system complexity.
Surface & Groundwater Treatment
A primary problem consistently faced in surface and groundwater treatment, is the inherent fluctuations in the composition of feed streams. The iSep UF system is specifically designed to handle a wide range of Total Suspended Solids (TSS), BOD, COD, and Turbidity (NTU). The consistent and exceptional permeate quality makes it the ideal UF treatment technology for surface water where efflluent consistancy and flux are non-negotiable. In addition he NFX Nanofiltration membrane offers high rejection rates of multivalent and divalent ions. By eliminating odors, colors, and THM precursors, NFX is a favorable alternative to RO membranes in groundwaters that do not require salt removal.
Seawater Desalination
Synder’s NFX Nanofiltration membrane offers an uncommon combination of performance and environmental friendlieness in seawater desalination pretreatment. By removing divalent ions up to 2,000 mg/l of TDS, the NFX membrane is capapble of removing ions that cause hardness, such as CaCO3. By achieving this seperation with little to no regenerating chemicals, NFX is the environmentally concious choice in hardness removal from seawater.
Brackish Water
Of the 2.27 x 1016 m3 of groundwater available in the United States, over half is composed of brackish water (1.28 x 1016 m3). Proper treatment of this water is vital to prevent damage to important sectors of major industries, like agricultural production. The NFX Nanofiltration membrane‘s ability to easily remove divalent and multivalent ions, odors, colors, and THM precursors have opened the door the treatment and utilization of this water to alleviate freshwater shortages.
Municipal Wastewater Treatment & Reuse
Synder’s iSep UF system technology is greatly reducing the need for dosing Reverse Osmosis feed streams with chemicals for pretreatment. The iSep can handle high spikes in turbidity, TDS, TSS, and TS commonly seen in municipal water feeds, while preserving the high effulent quality required for an RO system feed. This increases the life of RO membranes and greatly helps to ensure optimal performance of the system.
