Kathari

ultrafiltration, for safe re-use of (drain) water

The Kathari uses ultrafiltration to remove pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and fungi, from drain water, surface water or basin water, while retaining the expensive nutrients. This process is highly cost-efficient.

  • Very high removal rate of viruses, bacteria and fungi
  • Not affected by low transmission values
  • Low operating costs

Description

Recirculation of water is now a standard aspect of water management in horticulture. It avoids needless waste of expensive nutrients and water. But re-using drain water (and other water) is not without risks. The water that comes back from the greenhouse can contain unwanted micro-organisms, such as viruses, bacteria and fungi. There are various ways to remove these micro-organisms. One of these solutions is the Kathari ultrafiltration, developed by Van der Ende Group, which uses membrane technology to achieve a very high removal rate with great cost-efficiency.

  • ECOfilter cloth filter
    ECOfilter cloth filter for filtering water streams without backwash water

    The ECOfilter is a compact cloth filter for removing solid contaminants from water streams. The system uses filter cloth and operates without backwash water. This keeps the filtration process simple and physically separates contaminants from the water stream. With capacities ranging from 16 to 200 m³/h, the ECOfilter is suitable for a wide range of applications, from smaller water streams to systems with higher flow rates. The filter cloth physically separates contaminants, while the filtered water continues to flow through the system.

  • Pentair X-Flow 64
    Pentair X-Flow 64 ultrafiltration membrane

    The Pentair X-Flow XF64 is an ultrafiltration membrane for removing microorganisms and suspended solids from water. Through mechanical filtration, bacteria, viruses, fungi, and organic contaminants are effectively removed, while dissolved nutrients are retained. The membrane is an essential consumable component in ultrafiltration systems for safe water reuse.

FAQ

  • The Kathari ultrafiltration is an excellent filtration technology for the removal of ToBRFV. In a trial conducted by Groen Agro Control, the effectiveness of UF on ToBRFV-contaminated drain water was tested. After filtering ToBRFV-contaminated drain water with a UF filter, no infections were found in a bioassay using two sets of five tomato plants. In this trial, no infectious virus was detected after the use of our ultrafiltration system.

  • UF (ultrafiltration) is a process that uses water pressure and membranes to separate different substances from one another. The membranes allow water, ions, and small molecules to pass through, while larger molecules in the water, such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and suspended solids, are retained and removed.

  • The Kathari is modular, which means it can be built to match any required capacity. Whether it’s dirty drain water, basin water, or large surface water sources, the Kathari can be used for all of them. The ideal configuration will be determined based on your specific situation.
