Developed by WaterSurplus, ImpactRO delivers a significant reduction in membrane fouling, significantly lower operational costs, and improved sustainability. With a combined flow rate of ~2.5 MGD, this high efficiency/high recovery BWRO system is going to deliver the customer >95% recovery.
More than 40 ImpactRO systems with a combined capacity in excess of 15 MGD throughout the United States are currently online or slated for installation by the end of 2025. This includes projects at breweries, soft drink bottlers, water bottlers, dairies, meat processors, municipalities, refineries, and various industrial water reuse applications.
“The suite of patented innovations that came together to make our ImpactRO were developed over years of research and development,” said Dileep Agnihotri, PhD, chief technology officer of WaterSurplus. “From the beginning, our goal was to create an efficient RO that would intelligently address the root causes of membrane fouling, extend the life of membranes, reduce energy consumption, deliver high recovery, and minimize system downtime. We believe that repeat purchases by major international industrial customers, followed by recent adoption by municipal customers are our best indication that we have succeeded.”
According to Dr Agnihotri, ImpactRO systems contain multiple complementary innovations from WaterSurplus including feed-forward design, micro-disruptions, intermittent variable recovery (IVR), a NanoScope monitoring system and single-point CIP (clean-in-place).
