INDION® Ultra High Rate Solid Contact Clarifier (UHRSCC): It is a compact, efficient, and cost-effective solution for clarifying surface water and wastewater. It merges the technologies of solids contact clarifiers and lamella clarifiers, offering the best of both worlds with enhanced performance at increased rise rates. This innovative design operates as a true solids contact clarifier, combining mixing, flocculation, and sedimentation in a single basin. Its applications range from surface water clarification to the removal of iron and manganese for potable water. Notable features include its combined technology, intimate and prolonged contact with previously formed solids, and utilization of the entire bottom for settling and collecting dense precipitates. Advantages include improved performance at high flow rates, rapid and complete chemical reactions, stability against sudden flow fluctuations, and the ability to handle maximum solids concentration for subsequent dewatering steps.

INDION IPC Membrane Bio-Reactor: The innovation in MBR technology combines the benefits of both flat sheet and hollow fiber membrane systems while addressing the drawbacks of traditional flat sheet MBRs. By utilizing the first fully back-washable membrane with a pressure of less than 2 bar, this system, featuring patented IPC flat sheet PVDF membranes, enables wastewater plants to operate at significantly higher flux yields. This not only reduces the footprint and energy requirements but also offers exceptional chemical resistance and membrane longevity. The treated effluent meets all discharge standards and can be reused without the need for additional chemicals. Submerging the IPC membranes in this biological process aids in the removal of suspended matter from activated sludge, consistently delivering treated water with the highest possible contaminant reduction. Notable features include its compactness, significantly reduced area requirements compared to conventional MBRs, and modular design in various capacities. Its advantages encompass improved fouling control, high flux yield, reduced aeration demand, and minimal footprint.
