- Industrial Effluent Treatment: Protects ecosystems and public health by eliminating PFAS from wastewater.
-
Case Study: Implemented in various municipal and industrial settings, ForeverGone has consistently delivered treated water that meets the highest regulatory standards, ensuring public health and environmental safety.
3. Carrier Gas Extraction (CGE)
Overview: Carrier Gas Extraction (CGE) is a cutting-edge thermal desalination technology that mimics the natural rain cycle to achieve Minimum Liquid Discharge (MLD) and Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD). Developed at MIT in 2008, CGE uses air to evaporate brine into freshwater, separating contaminants and salts efficiently.
Key Benefits:
- High Efficiency: CGE achieves near-distillate quality water through a robust process resistant to scaling and fouling.
- Sustainability: By leveraging waste heat recovery, CGE reduces operational costs and environmental impact.
- Versatility: CGE is adaptable to various industrial wastewaters: Recover valuable solvents and reduce wastewater discharge; concentrate brine streams, increasing water recovery rates; and Remove salt and dye from wastewater, reducing environmental footprint.
-
Case Study: A global pharmaceutical company in Singapore implemented CGE to treat high COD, TDS, and chloride wastewater, achieving over 98% reduction in disposal volumes and significant cost savings in CAPEX and OPEX.
4. SmartOps AI
Overview: SmartOps AI is a digital solution for asset management, plant performance optimization, predictive maintenance, and remote monitoring. Leveraging machine learning (ML), SmartOps provides early warnings of feedwater variations and optimizes cleaning schedules to enhance plant efficiency.
Key Benefits:
- Predictive Maintenance: Early detection of deteriorating membrane performance and feedwater changes.
- Operational Efficiency: Reduces chemical and energy consumption, minimizing operational costs.
- Real-Time Data: Access to real-time data for monitoring key performance indicators.
-
Applications:
