Many manufacturing and metal finishers treat their metal bearing rinse waters through
conventional treatment with a gravity plate settler. However conventional treatment can
yield inconsistent metal discharge results. Microfiltration process effluent with proper
pre-treatment including coagulant additions yields very consistent metal discharge
numbers due to the nominal 0.1 micron rating that only allows particulate matter less
than 0.1 to pass through the microfilter membranes. The net result is a greater ability to
meet ever-tightening metal discharge limits. Furthermore, facilities that utilize this
technology as a pre-cursor for water recycle through reverse osmosis.
MEMKON MF Membrane Features:
Membranes are of a moulded design,
unlike others which are rolled from flat sheet into a
tube which then has a lengthwise seam, and thus a
weak spot.
Membranes are moulded from high
purity sintered polyethylene, and have the capability
of retaining all initial properties even after immersion
into bleach for a one year period. Competitor’s
membranes typically become brittle after about 30
days of immersion in bleach. Bleach is a very com
monly used cleaning agent, so corrosion resistance is
very important.
Membranes have tube walls that are
25-30% thicker and thus stronger and more
robust, than the competitor’s.
100% of their membranes using
an iron solution that is very colloidal. Colloids
are large but soft and spongy masses that will
pass through most membranes. Duraflow
quality testing will reject any membranes that
pass any of the colloidal iron through the
membrane.
MEMKON MF System Features:
Will remove suspended solids from treated wastewater
down to 0.1 microns.
With the proper chemical treatment of the wastewater,
microfilter use will reduce sludge volume for filter pressing.
Fully automated, turnkey designs available.
Standardized designs, with flexibility for customization,
in 5kL/hr - 300kL/hr capacities.
Dual or triple train designs, allows for a minimum of 50% -
75% uptime while one train is undergoing membrane clean-
HMI & PLC-based control system.
Adjustable back-pressure valve, allows for adjustment of
permeate flow rate.
Automatic back pulse system to maintain optimal permeate
rates.
Sample valves on each membrane housing’s permeate
ports maximizes the operator’s diagnostic capabilities.
Supplied with chemical cleaning solution recirculation pump
and tanks (typically 2-3).
Optional, completely automated cleaning cycle available,
with chemical make-up systems.

Kontek MEMKON Ultrafiltration Systems are designed for the clarification of
treated wastewater and process water. Kontek MEMKON Ultra-Filtration systems
eliminate the need for clarifiers, polymers and multimedia filters for waste
streams to meet critical discharge criteria (i.e. cadmium, lead, mercury) or the
permeate can be further processed by a Kontek RoKon Wastewater Recovery
RO system for water recovery.
Kontek MEMKON Ultrafiltration Systems utilize SpiraSep membranes which are
robust, submerged, back-flushable, air scoured, spiral wound UF/MF membranes
that offer superior performance for the clarification of wastewater and
process water. Superior membrane design, allows Kontek to utilize on-line
periodic back-flushing of the membrane together with 100% air scouring of the
membranes. This allows the SpiraSep membrane to maintain higher sustained
flux rates than typical positive pressure UF membranes. Operational benefits
result from less frequent cleanings of the membranes, lower operational chemical
cleaning costs, and longer membrane life.

Kontek has been a leading manufacturer and pioneer of ion exchange industrial wastewater
recovery systems for over 30 years.
The Kontek ReKon Ion Exchange Systems have proven to be a reliable and cost-effective
method of removing dissolved heavy metals and salts from wastewater and producing high
quality de-ionized water for recycling.
REKON 5kL/HR System
Industrial Applications Include:
Metal recovery and wastewater recycling for metal finishing and PCB facilities
Water purification and recovery for the semi-conductor manufacturing industry
Selective polishing of specific metal ions for wastewater discharge polishing, or
precious metal recovery
DeCat Series for Selective Ion Exchange
Selective ion exchange uses proprietary selective resins to remove specific ions from
wastewater to reduce contamination levels or recover desired heavy metals.
Kontek DeCat systems can be used for the polishing of discharge wastewater where
stringent discharge levels demand the removal of heavy metals.
Kontek DeCat system is ideal for the recovery of specific & precious heavy metals.
Operating the resin columns in series improves efficiency and ion loading of the resin
in the column. Columns are operated on a lead/lag basis that places the freshly
regenerated column in the "lag" position following the partially loaded "lead" column.
This ensures complete exhaustion of the lead column while continuing to remove any
by-passed metal salts in the lag column.
Kontek DeCat systems are implemented for process solution purification in
applications where trace heavy metal contaminants must be removed to enhance
process solution performance or bath life.
ReKon Ion Exchange Recovery Systems Features & Benefits:
Standard system design flow rates from 1.0 to 1000 kL/hr
Standard system design uses up to 50% less water to regenerate
compared to other standard designs.
Premium proprietary resins

Optional Automatic Batch Treatment systems or flow through wastewater
treatment systems to treat non-recoverable wastewater and regeneration
waste can be incorporated and controlled from the ReKon systems main CP
Optional electrowinning heavy metal recovery systems can be incorporated
and controlled from the ReKon systems main control panel

Operating Advantages:
The X-20 and the high cross flow Kontek RO designs have been so successful, that many
competitors have tried to imitate it. These imitations are typically standard membranes with
a surface coating. However, the X-20’s low fouling characteristics come from its unique
and patented poly amide-urea chemistry. This property is built into the polymer backbone
and cannot be washed off. The surface coatings on competitive products lack the durability
and endurance of the X-20 structure.
In summary, the benefits seen in system performance when using the X-20 spiral wound
elements with a Kontek designed and manufactured system include:
