Novatek filters are basically designed for use within the water industry either in the production lines or for wastewater treatment.

MUNICIPAL SEWAGE TREATMENT, FOOD INDUSTRY, CHAMBER FILTER PRESSES, METAL INDUSTRY, ROTATING BIOLOGICAL CONTACTOR

Novatek was established in 1980 and started by developing a RBC (rotating biological contactor) and chamber filter presses. In 1986, the first Novatek automatic chamber filter press delivered based on research in industries with hard environment. The first presses were developed according to the conditions in zinc factories and today automatic equipment is developed and constructed for use in many applications. Novateks first innovation was to develop a rotating biological contactor for municipal sewage treatment. This was the second developed efficient equipment for solid separation of any kind of liquid. Chamber filter presses and horizontal membrane filter presses. We established a close relation to the heavy industry and Outokumpu in the metal industry has since this time been a very close related partner. Our philosophy of cooperation with different industries has given a lot of experience in different fields and applications. We have a confirmed good reputation for function, quality and safe equipment. Our policy is to focus on solving the processing and are eager to give the best conditions for using our equipments according to given demands. The client has the right to get more than he expect.

Novatek is today working in industries world wide where the conditions for the processes are strong. We like to take challenges as well as responsibilities and see our duties as designer of good solutions for the end user. We are focused on chemical industry and metal industry as well as food industry. We have got our know-how by co-operation with the end users. We try to keep a very closed connection in order to learn and to get experience. We have followed and supported our biggest customer during almost 20 years. Novatek AB is situated in Sweden, but is also represented in Asia through Novatek Asia Bhd Ltd and Clean Water Sweden for export sales.




Wastewater Treatment

Novatek is a designer of wastewater treatment equipment and wastewater treatment processes. We are based on the ISO system and use the highest available technique for manufacturing. We use different sub suppliers, specialized on their categories. We select the supplier with the demand to fulfill the delivery according to the end users quality conditions. We deal with four main treatment processes including: metal, chemical, food and steel treatment or surface treatments.

Metal

Novatek filter presses are used in leaching processes as well as in purification steps where high acid concentration and temperatures occur. The design of a Novatek filter presses makes it possible to operate with low maintenance costs.

Chemical

Novatek filters are designed for production of different products in the chemical industries such as, pigments, sulphates, water chemicals or any basic chemical. You can treat the slurry in a closed system by washing, leaching and dewatering.

Food industry

Filter presses are used for different purposes in the food industry. Biorotors are used for BOD treating. The advantage is a high contact area in a small foundation space.

Steel /Surface treatment process

In the steel and surface treatment process, the pickling acid filtration method is used. Together with a leading steel company a process for cleaning acids is developed which saves the consumption of acids in the wastewater treatment equipment.




Pickling Acid Filtration

Dewatering

Novatek also provides separation techniques including the membrane separation technique and the biological separation technique.

MEMBRANE SEPARATION TECHNIQUE

The membrane separation technique consists of the membrane filter press, where the pumping pressure of the feed pump is performed by filling up the chamber system to a lower level compared to the traditional type. The membrane equipped elements will, after filling up, press the rest of the moisture out from the chambers. This method gives also very good possibility for cake washing.

CHAMBER FILTER

The chamber filter consists of the chamber filter press with filter elements equipped with cloth. The elements form a chamber system when closed together by a hydraulic unit. The suspended solids will be separated through the filter cloth when the slurry is pumped into the system by pumping up to 15 bar. Cake release is performed chamber by chamber moving them to a backward position.

BIOLOGICAL SEPARATION TECHNIQUE

The Novatek biological separation technique (RBC) is build up around a circular, seamless steel tube, with both ends fixed in spherical roller bearings. Around the shaft is biomedia constructed of corrugated plastic sheets with high specific area content, up to 210 m2/m3. The contactor rotates slowly (1-2 rpm), and during the rotation, organic matters are degraded due to the micro-organisms that develop on the biomedia surfaces. The required oxygen is absorbed during the passage above the water surface. The contactor has a simple technique with low maintenance costs.




Cake Washing

Chamber Filter Press

Novatek has successfully supplied wastewater treatment equipment to the power industry, chemical industry, mining industry and food industry as well as to the municipal sewage plants.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT EQUIPMENT: MUNICIPAL SEWAGE PLANTS, WATER CHEMICALS, DESULPHURIZATION, AUTOMATIC FILTER PRESS, FOOD INDUSTRY, BIOLOGICAL SEPARATION TECHNIQUE

We supply wastewater treatment equipment world wide, but have our process specialties within pigments, water chemicals, pulp and paper, zinc/copper, palm oil, municipal, desulphurization and others where a high demand on material as well as functioning is very important. Novatek filters are basically designed for use within the industry either in the production lines or in wastewater treatment equipment. The units are designed for use in harsh environments such as in high acid concentrations as well as in high temperature areas. Installations are done in chemical plants for production of metals, chemical products, surface treating, and also in the organic area such as food industry and in municipal sewage plants.
