The Pall Aria system efficiently and cost-effectively removes suspended solids from any source water, including sea or brackish water. This technology replaces more cumbersome, inefficient, and expensive conventional pretreatment systems such as air flotation, clarification, sand/mixed media, and cartridge filtration. By pre-treating with Pall microfiltration, the RO membranes are exposed to a lower volume of particulate matter. This protective capability significantly reduces the number of membrane cleanings, increases efficiency, and prolongs the life and value of the RO system. More than 400 filtration systems using Pall Aria membrane technology have been installed worldwide.

“Combining the strengths of Pall’s membrane technologies, engineering, and technical expertise, the Pall Aria microfiltration system is designed for high-yield production of pure water from sea and brackish water. It also prepares wastewater for re-use,” said Dr. Wachinski.

Pre-treatment with the Pall Aria system provides:

• A low concentration of suspended particles, enabling RO membranes to operate at high flux.
• Stable pre-treated water that extends the life of RO membranes.
• Lower costs for power, cleaning chemicals, pre-filter cartridge changeouts, and labor.
• Additional cost savings because fewer pressure vessels and RO membranes are needed.

Pall will present a full array of Pall Aria systems during the fall SEDA symposium. For more information, visit www.pall.com/water or www.pall.com/pdf/WPMFROEN.pdf .
