WD News: NX Filtration has been selected by PT. Bayu Surya Bakti Konstruksi, an Indonesian specialist in constructing water and wastewater treatment plants, to supply its dNF membranes for various new projects. These orders follow previous projects in Indonesia related to drinking water supply for the city of Dumai in Sumatra, Meranti Island, and Indonesia’s biggest state-owned hospital in Jakarta.
The new orders relate to various treatment plants that PT. Bayu is currently developing in Indonesia. These are all based on NX Filtration’s dNF membrane technology, which removes colour and micropollutants from water whilst offering sustainability benefits by reducing energy and chemical consumption.
In 2022, PT. Bayu had started the design of a water treatment plant for the production of drinking water and industrial process water in Medang Kampai. This plant will have a capacity of approximately 450 m3/h and is expected to be commissioned in the second quarter of 2023. In addition, PT. Bayu is currently starting the development of a facility that produces drinking water from a lake in Bengkalis with a final capacity of 360 m3/h. NX Filtration has received an order from PT. Bayu for the first industrial wastewater project in Indonesia based on dNF technology.
Nyoman Yasa, CEO at PT. Bayu, commented: “Our large-scale municipal drinking water plant in Dumai has demonstrated for more than a year how effective and sustainable NX Filtration’s hollow fiber nanofiltration technology is in producing clean water.”
Michiel Staatsen, CEO at NX Filtration, said: “Our direct nanofiltration technology has proved its value in previous drinking water projects, where we are demonstrating consistent high performance combined with very low energy and chemicals consumption compared to traditional technologies.”
