In the same manner that the US Air Force has taken both new and demonstrated technologies to construct the most advanced aircraft in the world – the F-35 Lightning – KlarTek offers unique water and wastewater treatment capability.

The CleanBlue technology is a proprietary technology that integrates well-established treatment processes in modular form.

The end result — the influent can be treated to the quality that meets your needs, whether it be for commercial or potable use. KlarTek can effectively treat raw sewage, river or lake water, groundwater, industrial wastewater, saline water, and even semi-potable water.

While some applications require a sophisticated set of multiple modules, others may not. The flexible technology features a number of treatment trains, the initial train usually being basic filtration with heavy solids screening and proprietary oily water separation and intake water filtration. Particles down to 1 micron (or smaller, if needed) are filtered out in a matter of minutes.   

Depending on customer requirements, this is generally followed by proprietary electro-flocculation and clarification, and then activated carbon, polishing filtration, reverse osmosis, disinfection, ozonation, oil or salt recovery, or other technologies.

Innovative activated carbon treatment is effected using in-place regeneration without the use of high temperatures.

The technology can be used either as a stand alone or supplemental system.

For example, the technology can be used to remove solids and contaminants to eliminate the fouling typically associated with reverse osmosis. The result—the technology converts “dirty salt water” into “extremely clean salt water,” allowing enhanced reverse osmosis performance for desalination plants.

Unit treatment processes are designed and optimized for improved contaminant removal efficiency, low energy requirements, rapid treatment time, and reliability – with resultant cost savings.

Yet, typical treatment costs can be substantially lower than existing technologies.

With throughput capabilities of 5 to more than 50,000 gpm, the technology can be integrated into fixed-base commercial operations, or packaged onto a mobile, trailer-mounted unit for sites with limited access, or for needs requiring rapid deployment.

Because of this capability, KlarTek can assist customers with a wide variety of applications. Example —the RF-100 unit is small enough to fit on an 8 x 20 ft trailer, yet treats up to 144,000 gpd, ideal for transportable and emergency treatment systems.
