Bespoke Equipment
At Prestige Water Equipment, we design and manufacture all of our systems in house, whether you are in need of a combined Softener/RO or Cyclonic Seperator with built in PLC, we tailor our packages to suit you, our customer.
Not only do we supply the systems to suit your requirements, we will also install, commission and maintain the equipment on site.
​
Are you looking to collect and re-use rainwater or simply looking to reduce the amount of waste water discharged to drain? We can visit your premises free of charge to carry out a complete site survey and discuss your options in more detail.
REVERSE OSMOSIS
​
Reverse Osmosis is a technique for up to 99% removal of the total dissolved solids (TDS) in water.
​
If we have a solution with a low mineral content on one side of a semi-permeable membrane, and on the other side a solution with a high mineral content, the lower mineral content solution will try to migrate across the membrane and dilute down the high mineral content solution by Osmosis.
​
By providing a counter pressure onto the high mineral content solution the flow is reversed, and water migrates across the membrane minus its high mineral content into the low mineral content solution. This is called Reverse Osmosis. The high mineral content water increases in TDS and eventually must be discharged to waste.
​
The process can be repeated to give a water very similar in quality to that obtained from traditional Demineralisation plant or mixed bed cartridges.

REVERSE OSMOSIS

Why would I need one?
Whenever it is a requirement to remove most of the mineral content of a water supply.
​
When would I use it?
For compliance with various standards and manufacturers specifications.
​
Examples include:
-
Steam Boilers
-
Metal Finishing Industries
-
Electronic Component Manufacture
-
Industrial Dishwashing
-
Brewing - Spirit Dilution
-
Food Processing
-
Instrument washing
-
Chemical Processing
-
Adiabatic Cooling
-
Humidification
-
Combined Heat and Power
-
Laundries
-
Automotive (paint, rinsing etc.)
WATER SOFTENERS
Why do I need one?
The use of a water softener removes calcium and magnesium hard water minerals replacing them with soft sodium salts.
​
Softening the water minimises the problems caused by hard water such as reduced heat transfer, pipe work blockages, precipitation of other chemical components that react with hardness minerals and excessive soap usage etc.
​
When would I use it?
In an industrial or domestic situation, laundries, boilers, food processing, Reverse Osmosis Pre-treatment, cooling towers, boreholes, carwashes, CIP systems etc.
FILTRATION SYSTEMS

Why do I need one?
The use of a water filter removes components that cause fouling in water-based systems.
​
Sometimes they are used to reintroduce chemical components into a system.
​
We supply industrial, mechanical / self-cleaning and exchange filter systems.
ULTRA FILTRATION
Ultra Filtration units contain semi-permeable membranes to remove suspended solids high molecular weight solutes and even low level oil contamination from water.
​
The pore size of a nanofiltration membrane is normally about 1000 times greater than an RO membrane so allows a greater proportion of minerals through than RO..
Why would I need one?
Whenever it is a requirement to remove suspended solids of less than 0.1 microns, organic molecules and bacteria of a water supply or effluent.
NANO FILTRATION
Why would I need one?
Whenever it is a requirement to remove a proportion of the mineral content of a water supply but leave a substantial amount of mineral in the water.
​
What is the benefit?
-
On most waters it has the advantage of not requiring dangerous regenerant chemicals.
-
Discharge water that can be reutilised for further low-grade use.
-
Normally the cost per unit of water processed is much lower than traditional methods of production.
-
Allows water that may not have conformed to the EU drinking water directive to be made potable.
MEMBRANE BIOREACTOR (MBR)
Membrane Bioreactors are used to process effluent, reducing chemical oxygen demand (COD) and suspended solids by means of micro-filtration. The resulting treated water will be of a high quality enough to be discharged to coastal, surface or brackish waterways or to be recycled or used for irrigation.
​
Other advantages of MBRs over conventional processes include small footprint, easy retrofit and upgrade of old wastewater treatment plants.
​
Why are they used?
The Toray MEMBRAY® submerged flat sheet membrane module, when used as a component of a membrane bioreactor (MBR) system, effectively removes suspended solids.
Using membranes to separate sludge ensures much higher quality for treated water free from suspended solids. The system may be used in combination with RO membranes producing water quality as good as potable water.
