NX Filtration partners with Applied Membranes Inc for pharmaceutical wastewater reuse in the USA

Feb 17, 2026Feb 17, 2026 eawater

Hengelo, the Netherlands, 12 February 2026 Applied Membranes Inc (AMI), a USA-based provider of advanced water and wastewater treatment solutions, will be using NX Filtration’s hollow fiber nanofiltration (HFNF) membranes for advanced wastewater reuse at a pharmaceutical company. The pharmaceutical company seeks to reduce its freshwater intake and wastewater discharge by reusing its process water. AMI selected NX Filtration’s HFNF technology to remove high concentrations of organic compounds from the company’s wastewater stream. Combining this treated wastewater with a reverse osmosis (RO) system enables an efficient and robust water reuse…

The River Crisis: Why Industry Must Begin to Lead Cleanup

Feb 10, 2026Feb 10, 2026 eawater

India holds roughly 18% of the world’s population but only about 4% of its renewable freshwater resources, raising the stakes of river degradation. Across the country, untreated industrial wastewater contaminates rivers including the Yamuna, Ganga, Sabarmati and Jojari, with many tributaries critically degraded and facing functional collapse in coming decades. A major contributor is the textile and tannery industry, which consumes vast amounts of water and generates difficult-to-remove waste. Polluted rivers threaten drinking water, farm productivity, public health and local economies. Studies near Kanpur’s tanneries show chromium in groundwater far…

Industrial Wastewater Treatment: Tailored Solutions for Unique Wastewater Challenges

Apr 4, 2025Apr 4, 2025 eawater

Every company’s wastewater stream is unique, based on their industry, inputs, outputs, processes, volumes, discharge parameters, and seasonal variables, as well as federal EPA, state, and local regulations. Consequently, their wastewater treatment often must be tailored to their specific needs to avoid violations and fines and reliably remain in compliance. Industrial wastewater is often contaminated with a wide range of pollutants, including suspended solids, heavy metals, and organic compounds. Many treatment methods require multiple steps, a variety of chemicals, or extensive labor to achieve even marginally acceptable results. Additionally, the…
