Water Alliance member NX Filtration, the global provider of breakthrough direct nanofiltration (dNF) membrane technology for pure and affordable water, was selected by GreenTech Environmental, a leading publicly listed company in advanced water treatment and wastewater recycling in China, to supply its dNF membranes for a large-scale drinking water project in China.
The order follows a pilot program of approximately one year, in which NX Filtration’s dNF technology was tested on the removal of emerging micropollutants from surface waters in China. The new full-scale project will use dNF membranes to produce drinking water from surface water, which is an increasingly important source for water production across China.
In anticipation of additional large-scale drinking water projects in China, GreenTech and NX Filtration also concluded a partnership agreement that forms the basis for further expansion across China. In this context, Greentech has started the development of standard pre-engineered modular systems, each with a capacity of 10,000 m3 per day, based on NX Filtration’s dNF technology. These standard building blocks will enable fast delivery of future large-scale projects.
David Wang, Senior Vice President at GreenTech, explains: “We are very happy to engage NX Filtration on this first large-scale project based on their direct nanofiltration technology. Based on our extensive pilot tests we see the great potential of this technology, that effectively removes micropollutants from surface water, whilst at the same time provides strong environmental benefits. We are looking forward to continue to work with NX Filtration to engage in various drinking water projects across China.”
Michiel Staatsen, CEO at NX Filtration, comments: “We are very proud to bring our relationship with GreenTech to the next stage, engaging in a Channel Partnership Agreement and supplying our technology for a first large-scale dNF-based drinking water project in China. We are looking forward to continue our partnership with GreenTech to solve the growing drinking water challenges in China.”
