Process water treatment from Multotec comprises Continuous Ionic Filtration (CIF®), developed by Australian-based CleanTeQ. It is built on the foundations of continuous counter-current ion exchange and can be compared to continuous sand filtration where ion exchange resins are used instead of sand. The process continually removes both solids and dissolved salts from water. It offers a viable alternative and can complement reverse osmosis desalination on a wide range of waters.
Multotec supplies CleanTeQ products exclusively into Africa.
CIF® has proven successful in industrial water treatment where feed waters can have a complicated chemistry and where scaling and fouling risks are high. Rather than using conventional technology that increases brine volumes resulting in higher management and disposal costs, CIF® reduces scaling and fouling risks – ultimately improving production rates!
