Industry
Municipal Drinking Water & Wastewater
Challenges
Drayton valley was looking for ways to extend the life of their filters by maintaining a high permeability as they push past their 10 year rated life
RL Core Solutions
Dynamically adjust backpulse flow and duration to Maximize filter permeability and reduce water consumption
RESULT
Outcome
- The membrane went from 11Lmh/bar lower than baseline to 32Lmh/bar higher than baseline - 25% increase in 10 months
- Membrane lifetime is tied to permeability, this may lead to an extension of the lifetime of the membrane ($3m replacement cost every ~10 years). A 1 year extension would save DV $300k.
Membrane permeability - RLCore Agent vs. Baseline in 2025 ISL agent was active on the baseline train till September (1 / 1)
