KMS Is An Acknowledged Leader

By producing state-of-the-art membranes of every configuration and in every filtration range, KMS is creating value in more industrial water and wastewater applications than any other membrane company. Through our dedication to the technology and our skill in implementation, we consistently maintain our leadership position.

KMS has a full spectrum of membrane separation technologies covering hundreds of applications. We use our 30 plus years of expertise to work with you to design a membrane system that meets regulatory and process requirements, while keeping costs under control.

Some of the many industrial water and wastewater treatment applications that KMS has pioneered include:
•  Brackish water treatment & desalination
•  Power plant boiler feed water treatment
•  Oily wastewater treatment
•  Metalworking and metal finishing wastewater treatment
•  Landfill leachate
•  Heavy metals wastewater treatment
•  Chemicals, cosmetics, textile wastes
•  Food processing waste
•  Mop and floor cleaning wastewater
•  Dye penetrant rinsewaters
•  Truck, automobile and railcar vehicle washing
•  Spent rolling and drawing compounds
•  Printing press washup water
•  Biomass and membrane bioreactors
•  Acid, alkaline and phosphate cleaners
•  Laundry water and chemical recycle

KMS process engineers can work with you to determine the specific requirements of your industrial water or wastewater application. We will work with you to help select the proper membrane separation range (microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration or reverse osmosis) and membrane configuration (tubular, hollow fiber or spiral wound) to meet your project requirements. Since no two industrial wastewater streams are the same, we can even provide pilot scale membrane filtration equipment and process expertise to demonstrate the performance of our membranes at your facility. In addition to providing membranes, KMS can design, build and integrate membrane systems that can be combined with other unit processes giving you a single source for the most effective and efficient treatment available.

Since no two industrial wastewaters are the same, KMS works with clients to address their specific project requirements

For more typical industrial applications, KMS offers pre-engineered, packaged systems.

KMS membranes cost-effectively treat water, creating higher quality water and products
•  Enable reuse of water where water is scarce
•  Consistently produce specified water quality
•  Reduce wastewater treatment costs, often creating a valuable retentate
•  Eliminate regulatory compliance issues through closed loop water recovery

A KMS tubular UF wastewater system can help reduce oily wastewater haul away volume by as much as 98%.

KMS specialists work with you to determine which of their many products will most effectively suit your application:

•  FEG™ PLUS tubular UF modules - 1" diameter, open flow, tubular, ultrafiltration membrane modules designed for high concentration, heavy duty wastewater streams. These membranes can be mechanically and chemically cleaned.
•  ULTRA-COR^® UF Modules - 1/2" diameter, open flow, multiple tube, ultrafiltration membrane designed for medium concentration wastewater streams where high shear velocity is necessary to limit membrane fouling.
•  TARGA^® Hollow Fiber, Industrial Water Cartridges - Hollow fiber, ultrafiltration cartridges designed for high flow industrial water applications.
•  Other ROMICON^®  Hollow Fiber products with XM, CM or PM membranes for water and wastewater applications.
•  Spiral ultrafiltration elements for water and wastewater applications including SPIRAPAK integrated element/housing and conventional 4" and 8" spiral elements.
•  FLUID SYSTEMS^® brand of NF and RO elements including the SR family of NF elements, the TFC family of RO elements and the ROGA^®  family of cellulose acetate spiral elements.
•  PURON^® modules for membrane bioreactors consisting of hollow fiber membranes that produce a high quality filtrate when submerged in wastewater.
