WASTE WATER REUSE
The VulAmanz Recovery filters, proudly made in South Africa, are innovative solutions for water reclamation and conservation. Designed for use in large public swimming pools to agricultural processing plants, these filters effectively clean wastewater, ensuring sustainable water reuse and reducing overall consumption.
SCIENCE-BASED
Removes all floating particles larger than 1 micron using tightly woven polyester filter technology. Retains all soluble elements, thereby saving on pool chemicals. Recovers 100% of all backwash water for safe reuse as top-up water.
POSITIVE USER FEEDBACK
Effectively limits the use of municipal water as pool top-up water, saves a scarce resource and prevents the discharge of chemical laden wastewater to the environment or municipal wastewater system.
ROBUST DESIGN
Extended field-tests in school swimming pools, water polo pools, commercial gym pools, and washdown systems demonstrate a robust, ‘fit-for-purpose’ system design that retrofits into existing systems without increasing current maintenance management efforts.
VulAmanz Backwash Water Recovery (VA-BWR) Filter
The VulAmanz Backwash water Recovery filter, with a core of multiple tightly woven polyester fabric filter elements, is proudly made in South Africa. It ensures 100% filtration of suspended matter larger than 1 micron, reclaiming clean water from backwash wastewater from large public and commercial gym swimming pools. This sustainable solution aligns with a strategy of water conservation, reducing consumption, water reuse, minimising of water wastage, and augmenting water supplies.
Agricultural Waste Water Reuse
The VulAmanz Wastewater Recovery filter, with a core of multiple tightly woven polyester fabric filter elements, is proudly made in South Africa. It ensures 100% filtration of suspended matter larger than 1 micron, reclaiming clean water from wash water from agricultural product processing plants (e.g. fruit and vegetable packhouses and – markets). This sustainable solution aligns with a strategy of water conservation, reducing consumption, water reuse, minimising of water wastage, and augmenting water supplies.
The VulAmanz Microfilter (“VM”), is a novel water treatment technology aimed at decentralised water treatment for drinking water provision and the treatment of waste waters for recycling and reuse.
The WFMF technology and method of manufacture is covered under the Patent Cooperation Treaty and the Core Patents are as follows:
Patent Number: ZA2011/08673 (Priority claimed from ZA2010/04504); A Membrane Bioreactor invented by VL Pillay and EP Jacobs.
Patent Number: ZA2018/04129; Microfiltration Assembly and Method of Manufacture invented by L Barwell and VL Pillay.
Developed in South Africa through collaboration between university researchers and the specialist fabrics industry, this niche ‘fabric micro-filtration’ technology addresses the needs of developing economies. Unlike conventional methods, it relies on a robust woven polyester micro-filtration fabric with an effective pore size of ~1.3 microns, capable of producing high-quality permeate with minimal turbidity and bacteria removal. This gravity-driven system requires no water treatment chemicals, boasts easy operation and maintenance, and offers cost-effectiveness. Cleaning is simple, requiring only membrane brushing or drying, without the need for exotic chemicals.
