("Modern Water")
First Sale of Modern Water's New Brine Concentration Technology
Modern Water plc (AIM:MWG), the owner of leading technologies for water, wastewater treatment and the monitoring of water quality, announces that following the successful pilot testing announced in December 2016, it has secured the first sale of its proprietary All-Membrane Brine Concentration (AMBC) technology.
Modern Water will provide proprietary AMBC technology to treat wastewater produced by an India-based customer involved in the textile dyes industry. The project will be executed in partnership with Advent Envirocare Technology Pvt. The innovative AMBC system will be built into a new facility, with completion and commissioning in India scheduled for mid-2017
Traditional water recycling and Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) methods are typically complex, multi-stage and costly in a wide range of industrial processes across the globe, representing a significant cost to business. Modern Water's advanced technology allows customers to achieve higher brine concentrations than traditional techniques, which significantly reduces the waste water volume required for the subsequent brine crystalliser treatment. This is likely to deliver a step-change in efficiency, significantly reducing operating costs for customers.
Simon Humphrey, CEO of Modern Water commented: "It is testament to the strength of our technology and the professionalism of our partners at Advent Envirocare, that the first sale of our AMBC system has occurred so quickly after the successful completion of the pilot in December last year. When the customer's facility is up and running, we are confident that our technology will demonstrate the substantial improvements we can offer to other industries, thereby allowing us to target new markets."
