Ceramic-based filtration is a state-of-the-art filtration technology that came about as an outgrowth of research in the nuclear power industry. While it has been well established that microfiltration and ultrafiltration are highly effective at removing particles to the sub-micron level, previous technologies have been limited by the chemical and temperature environments in which they can operate. Ceramic filters, however, are extremely robust.

CERA-CLEAR^TM is a technology that can filter liquids to the sub-micron level, effectively clarifying, to a significant degree, a host of different streams high in COD/BOD (Chemical Oxygen Demand/Biochemical Oxygen Demand), TSS (Total Suspended Solids), TKN (Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen), O&G (Oil and Grease), and other insoluble or suspended materials, as well as some soluble matter. The principal of operation is cross-flow microfiltration or ultrafiltration using highly selective ceramic filters whose operating range is engineered for the targeted objectives. CERA-CLEAR™ WRS™ system provides the ability to remove all but the smallest organic molecules or soluble ions.

The CERA-CLEAR Pilot 1030 is a scaled down unit of the with all of the automation, features and benefits of the full sized CERA-CLEAR systems. The Pilot 1030 can be operated as a WRS as a water recovery system for water reuse in a plant , as a wastewater treatment system or as a CRS for recovering caustic solution where Clean in Place solutions are deployed.

PRODUCT FEATURES

• Greater than 99% removal of most contaminants and biologicals
• Chemically and biologically inert
• Resistance to extreme temperatures
• No chemical treatment required
• Resistance to concentrated acids, bases, & solvents
• Low initial equipment cost
• Low operating cost
• Low maintenance – ease of cleaning
• Long working life - measured in decades
• All stainless steel construction for piping, valves, and pumps.

Our ceramic elements do not wear out. Our systems use Clean In Place technology to maintain the elements.

• Our systems recover heat (energy) as well as water, virtually doubling the savings over the competition
• Because our systems are ceramic based, we can process streams at any temperature from ambient to boiling
• Energy, water and surcharges by municipalities will only increase, further increasing the recovery savings
• Our Energy and Water recovery is clear and measurable with our automated Digital Dashboard.
• Our systems are deterministic, based on science, chemical engineering and mathematics

Our A.I. AOS™ (Autonomous Operating System) is highly evolved, automated & scalable.

• Our A.I. AOS™ control system is generations ahead of the competition
• Our highly evolved A.I. AOS™ monitors system performance, and every aspect of the system operation
• Operator Interface is an intuitive 10.4" 65k color touch screen interface.
• Our A.I. AOS™ is remote access & monitoring capable to your PC, iPad, Android based  or mobile device
• Our Digital Dashboard provides messaging, alerts, & reports metrics for management and engineering staff
• Our A.I. AOS™ provides a clear and immediately measurable savings near real-time on our Digital Dashboard
• Our system can handle virtually ANY wastewater stream; no need to segregate streams

We have NO replaceable media

• Our systems remove all bacteria and do not go septic. Most bacteria cannot fit through the pores of our ceramic membranes. It is a matter of physics.
• Small physical footprint. Our small footprint relative to others; 4’ x 8’ cf. versus others’ systems of sand filters, carbon filters and additional tanks and pumps.
• Our system is extremely simple to install – four connections, all on the same side of the skid.

The CERA-CLEAR™ WRS™ and CRS™ can be operated as a water recovery system for water reuse in the plant or as a wastewater treatment system and as a caustic solution recovery system

WRS™ Water Recovery Mode

The porosity of the elements used in the CERA-CLEAR™ WRS™ system provides the ability to remove all but the smallest organic molecules or soluble ions. Because of this selectivity, the CERA-CLEAR™ Ceramic Element Filtration™ is ideally suited for treatment for discharge or recycling from a wide range of industries, including laundry, textile finishing plants (dye removal), concrete processing facilities, metal finishing plants, car washes, automotive processing industries, poultry and egg processing plants, dairy, beef and other agriculture or food processing plants.

By using our ceramic system technology, there is no guesswork as to what could migrate through the ceramic membranes. It is important to have confidence that bacteria cannot be passed through the filters. Ceramic membranes deal in absolute porosities. These types of contaminants cannot pass through our ceramic membrane elements because they exceed the pore size of our membranes.

WRS™ Wastewater Treatment Mode

The WRS™ ceramic based system provides significant operational and cost advantages over conventional wastewater treatment processes which are typically called physical / chemical plants.

CERA-CLEAR™ WRS™ wastewater treatment system have clear key advantages over physical and chemical wastewater plants. For example:

No chemicals used in the wastewater treatment process

No chemical cost, no chemical storage issues

No chemical health safety, accident or exposures risks

No chemical feed pumps and mixers

Treated water is of such quality, water can be used in non-potable water plant processes

Lower plant process water costs, due to re-using treated water

Significantly reduces discharge costs due to reuse

Low energy cost. Only one pump used in the separation process

Low maintenance cost, minimal admin / operator overhead

No biological colony feed stock requirements

Small plant footprint

CRS™ Caustic Recovery Solution

Porosities to 0.01 microns are now available, providing the ability to remove all but the smallest organic molecules or soluble ions. E3's Caustic Recovery Systems™ are ideally suited for recycling NaOH (sodium hydroxide) solutions for reuse in CIP systems in a wide range of industries including dairy, poultry, egg processing, and other food processing industries.
