Applications

Applications

The Spruce Filter™ can be used across a wide variety of water applications.

Sea Water

  • Pre-treatment to SWRO membranes
  • Chemical free SDI reduction
  • Protect the SWRO membrane
  • Increase time between chemical cleans
  • Reduces project capex, opex and energy costs

Waste Water

Waste water secondary and tertiary treatment: reduces turbidity, suspended solids, BOD and COD.

Potable Water

  • Drinking water: Reduces turbidity, suspended solids, iron, manganese and algae species
  • Pre-treatment, ideal for UV, Reverse osmosis, desalination and GAC: Improve performance and increase lifespan of packaged technologies

Industrial

  • Food and Beverage Production: Improve taste and appearance
  • Boilers: Turbidity reduction, minimise sludge blow-down
  • Industrial Water Process: Reduced particulate matter and turbidity
  • De-ioniser and softener pre-treatment: Lengthen resin life

Cooling Towers

Cooling Towers – reduce legionella risk, water costs and chemical consumption

Rain and Grey Water Desalination
