The selection of a wastewater reuse system is a realistic option for any factory. The equipment must be suited to site availability, suitable for the wastewater, able to produce suitable water for reuse, and manageable after installation. That puts the treatment provider on a par with the treatment technology.

Containerized reclaimed water systems can enable factories to incorporate the ability to reuse water without starting a large conventional treatment plant. In addition to containerized pre-engineered units, QILEE comes with treatment solutions such as MBR and UF+RO and offers design, installation, commissioning, maintenance, and technical support.

Why Is QILEE’s Containerized Design Practical for Factories?

Most factories are not big enough to accommodate unlimited space. Large areas for wastewater treatment may not be feasible due to production buildings, warehouses, access paths, utilities, and other infrastructure.

A containerized system provides a reduced-size option. The primary treatment equipment may be housed in a mobile container rather than building the entire treatment plant around a permanent civil structure.

Industrial, municipal and decentralized applications are the basis of QILEE’s reclaimed-water systems. Their modular and mobile nature may also be beneficial in situations when the treatment equipment must be installed at an existing facility or a distant location.

A pre-engineered unit can also aid in the transportation and site integration.

Can the Treatment Configuration Match Your Factory’s Needs?

Wastewater comes from a factory, and the quantity and quality of the wastewater depend on the production process in the factory. Wastewater may vary greatly from one industry to another so it is important to determine what wastewater is being produced before choosing a treatment system that has a specific capacity.

The treatment plant should be designed to meet the water quality objectives for reclaimed water and the characteristics of the wastewater.

Projects may have different treatment approaches in the reclaimed-water range in terms of MBR and UF+RO. MBR (Membrane Bio Reactor) is a form of biological treatment coupled with membrane separation and UF+RO (Ultrafiltration + RO) is a combination of membrane separation and reverse osmosis for further membrane treatment.

To the buyer, it matters most that it be flexible. The configuration can be designed based on the site’s actual water-reuse requirements; instead of assuming it to be the same for all factories.

That’s why the selection process should start with the needs of the factory itself and not with a specific piece of equipment.

Why Does Flexibility Matter for Industrial Water Reuse?

Water reuse does not have to be restricted to any particular facility or end use. A factory might want an industrial use for the treated water, while another may require water for irrigation or another appropriate non-potable use.

QILEE’s containerized reclaimed-water product includes industrial wastewater treatment, municipal wastewater reuse, greywater, and rainwater reuse. It is also well positioned for remote and decentralized applications.

Why Is Modular Process Integration Valuable?

There are occasions when industrial wastewater projects require more than one treatment phase. Treatment can be biological, physical, chemical or membrane processes depending on the contaminants.

QILEE’s industrial wastewater treatment system is in the form of a containerized solution with technologies such as MBR, DAF coupled with chemical dosing, chemical treatment, TMBR or NF+RO that can be combined based on the wastewater characteristics and treatment goals.

This can be helpful when it’s not possible to effectively use one uniform method to handle a factory’s wastewater.

What Makes QILEE’s Support Important?

The treatment equipment is just one component of a water-reuse project. When the system is delivered to the factory, it must be installed, integrated, commissioned, operated and maintained.

QILEE offers design, installation, commissioning and maintenance services. Additional services include training, technical support, system upgrades and on-site system optimization and assembly.

Can QILEE Adapt to a Factory’s Changing Requirements?

Industrial facilities are not necessarily permanent. Over time production may increase, processes may change or water management priorities may emerge.

When there are changes in operating conditions, a rigid treatment solution may be hard to adapt. Modular systems offer greater flexibility when thinking about changes, upgrading or other treatment needs.

QILEE combines standardized system integration with service solutions tailored to the individual. The initial design and installation services are included with its offering, which also includes technical support and system upgrades.

What Should You Check Before Choosing a Reclaimed Water System?

The factory should establish its requirements first before choosing a system even with a good supplier. Consider:

The source and characteristics of wastewater.

• Average and peak flow
• Main contaminants
• Required reclaimed-water quality
• Intended reuse application
• Available installation space
• Current utility network and infrastructure
• The need for operation and maintenance.

Potential future changes

This information enables the project to be treated in the right way and provides the supplier with a solid foundation for the project development.

Why Choose QILEE for Your Factory?

The containerized format is applicable for space and deployment-sensitive factories. It offers different treatment routes for MBR and UF+RO options, and allows more treatment processes to be added if wastewater conditions demand more extensive treatment in the industrial wastewater portfolio.

There is a further practical benefit from the support structure. Support is given beyond the purchase of the equipment, including design, installation, commissioning, maintenance, training, technical support, upgrades and onsite optimization.

That mix can be the key to determining whether a factory is just buying treatment equipment or whether it is putting in place a water-reuse system that meets the site’s requirements and operating practices.

QILEE is a compact solution for factory water reuse with MBR or UF+RO water treatment that is available in a containerized system.

Conclusion

It is not always the case that the longer the technology list, the more correct the reclaimed-water system. It is the system that is most suitable for the wastewater, space, reuse, operating setting and long term needs of the facility.

QILEE takes all these factors into account in a modular containerized solution, alongside MBR and UF+RO treatment options, and expanded industrial treatment solutions and support from design through installation, commissioning and beyond.

For factories that want to recover and reuse water without overly expansive treatment works, that combination should be considered. Treatment configuration and support should be compared starting with the wastewater, and after defining what it will be used for and the practical limitations of the site. When they match, QILEE may prove to be a good choice for the next phase of the project.
