Applications

Advanced membrane solutions for next-generation water treatment

From coastal desalination plants to hypersaline resource recovery, SV-NanoMetrix™ elements are selected for the operating reality of each stream.

Seawater and Brackish Water Desalination

High rejection rates and long membrane life for coastal, offshore and island-based water production systems.

Industrial Feedwater Treatment

Process water for power generation, chemical manufacturing and other industrial systems requiring consistent purity.

Lithium and Brine Recovery Systems

Resource recovery operations with stable flux and high-performance separation of dissolved solids.

Zero Liquid Discharge and Pre-Concentration

Greater system efficiency by minimizing liquid waste and significantly reducing environmental discharge.

Commercial and Drinking Water Purification

Consistent, dependable safe water for high-volume municipal, commercial and hospitality applications.

Reclaimed Wastewater Reuse

Converting treated effluent into high-quality process or irrigation water to meet sustainability goals.

Food and Beverage Processing

Purity in ingredient water, concentration and clean-in-place (CIP) rinse cycles.

Marine and Maritime Desalination

Compact, high-rejection membranes for onboard RO systems on yachts, ships and offshore platforms.

Textile Dyeing & CETP Effluent Recycling

Colour, COD and TDS removal from dye-house and common effluent streams, returning reusable process water in ZLD-driven clusters.

Caustic Purification & Colour Removal

Purification of spent caustic by removing colour and starch, so the alkali stream returns to mercerising and scouring duty.

Acid & Alkali Recovery

Diffusion dialysis and acid-stable membranes recovering free acid or caustic from pickling, anodising and etching baths.

Mining, Metallurgy & Rare-Earth Recovery

Selective separation and concentration of valuable metal salts, leachates and rare-earth bearing liquors at high TDS.

Pharmaceutical & Fine Chemical Processing

Solvent-tolerant nanofiltration, product concentration, desalting and high-purity water for API and formulation plants.

Dairy, Starch & Sugar Concentration

Whey, permeate, steep liquor and syrup concentration with high-flux, CIP-tolerant spiral and tubular elements.

Landfill Leachate & Hard COD Streams

High-pressure RO and NF stages for leachate, tannery and pharma effluent where organic load and ammonia are extreme.

Oil & Gas, Refinery and Petrochemical Water

Oil-tolerant UF and RO for produced water, desalter effluent and cooling-tower blowdown up to 3% oil and grease.

Power Plant Make-up & Boiler Feed

Low-silica, low-conductivity permeate for DM plant pre-treatment, boiler feed and FGD blowdown recycling.

MBR & Biological Polishing

External spiral and tubular UF for anaerobic and aerobic bioreactors operating at high MLSS and poor sludge settleability.

Gas Separation & Solvent Recovery

Biogas upgrading, nitrogen and hydrogen separation, VOC recovery and pervaporation-based solvent dehydration.

Electronics & Ultrapure Water

Multi-pass RO and polishing stages feeding UPW loops for semiconductor, PCB and battery manufacturing.

Sea, brackish & wastewater

Desalination solutions that close the supply gap

Water scarcity is one of the most urgent global challenges, and seawater desalination plays a growing role in closing the supply gap.

SV-NanoMetrix™ develops next-generation reverse osmosis membrane solutions that make seawater and brackish water treatment more reliable, efficient and sustainable. By combining advanced membrane material science, process engineering and sustainable manufacturing practices, our RO solutions reduce energy use, improve cleaning efficiency and extend operational life. With installations supporting organizations in over 30 countries, this technology helps operators meet today's water needs while minimizing unrecovered materials.
