[Music] my name is Nicolas Correa and I'm a product and application specialist with Alfa Laval I'm here today to talk to you about our low resist technology and our MBR modules and how this can help you reduce your operating costs and total cost of ownership nature was a major inspiration for us when we designed the low resist technology for our MBR modules in nature water always takes the path of least resistance and therefore we wanted to use this and use gravity in our MBR modules to reduce the energy required to produce clean water from our MBR modules with larry's this technology we see two major savings one with energy consumption and one with the cleaning required for MBR modules with regards to the energy consumption if you can operate with gravity you can take away the permeate pumps for the production of clean water from the MBR modules therefore we're able to save that energy and therefore the only energy required for the MBR modules after that is for air scarring with our new s air ADA innovation for the MBR module we're able to then save 40 percent on that side and therefore we have a overall a very energy-efficient MBR module the second advantage the low resist technology brings is the reduction in the cleaning and the maintenance required for the MBR modules so when you're able to operate with an ultra low tones membrane pressure you are able to reduce the the fouling on the membranes so during operation we normally have a relaxation period of two minutes after 10 minutes of production and this relaxation is very effective at removing the fouling layer from the membranes because the pressure holding the the fouling to the membrane is so low the result of this effective relaxation is that the chemical cleaning is required are reduced significantly so under normal operating conditions we're looking at doing a chemical CIP cleaning in situ in place once every two to three months this is a significant reduction compared to other MBR modules on the market all in all the librettist technology that we've integrated into our MBR module allows you to not only reduce your operating cost day to day but over the lifetime of your plant will give you the lowest total lifecycle costs of any MBR on the market [Music]
