Wastewater Treatment Systems

large-scale performance in a compact
pre-assembled system

Incorporating a simple and expandable building-block
design, GE packaged plants can be quickly set up in
virtually any location and feature scalable treatment
capacity that can be increased as demand grows. These
highly automated, plug-and-play UF systems outperform
conventional treatment alternatives in all categories,
offering superior treated water quality that meets or
exceeds regulatory requirements, reduced operating costs,
smaller plant footprints, and highly reliable performance—
at a price that is comparable to conventional systems.

Pre-assembled and factory tested systems offer:

Reduced on-site construction costs with

•
less interconnecting requirements;

Quick delivery with complete engineering

•
package already completed;

Cost-effective solutions for virtually all water

•
and wastewater treatment applications;

Comprehensive cleaning capability for

•
peak system performance;

How membranes work

Membranes are based on filtration methods
found throughout nature. ZeeWeed membranes
are hollow polymer fibers with billions of
microscopic pores on the surface. The pores
are much smaller in size than common
contaminants, bacteria and viruses. This
physical barrier only allows clean water to
pass through while rejecting impurities—
guaranteeing an exceptional water quality
and clarity on a continuous basis. Application
of pressure outside or a slight vacuum inside
is all that is required to draw water into
the membrane and filter out impurities.
