VSEP

VSEP Membrane Cleaners In addition to filtration systems, New Logic manufactures
a complete line of chemical cleaners designed to maintain maximum flow rates in
all VSEP applications.Years of exhaustive research and development by New Logic
engineers have resulted in seven chemical cleaners formulated to attack the most
stubborn foulants across a wide range of membranes and feed streams.While
designed for VSEP membrane filtration systems, these advanced formulas are
perfect for cleaning any membrane.To learn more about VSEP Advanced Cleaning

While
membrane-based separations of liquids from solids have enjoyed increasing
popularity over the last 20 years, the technology has an inherent Achilles heel
that affects all membrane devices: fouling. This long-term loss in throughput
capacity is due primarily to the formation of a boundary layer that builds up
naturally on the membranes surface during the filtration process.In addition to
cutting down on the flux performance of the membrane, this boundary or gel layer
acts as a secondary membrane reducing the native design selectivity of the
membrane in use.EMERYVILLE, Calif. and IPSWICH, Australia, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/
-- New Logic Research, Inc., the maker of VSEP, the vibrating membrane
filtration system, announced today its participation in the official
commissioning ceremony for the Australian Hardboards Water Recycling Plant in
Queensland, Australia.On hand for the ceremony were members of the Australian
Hardboards and New Logic executive team, as well as numerous business leaders
and local officials, including Cr. Paul Pisasale, the mayor of Ipswich.The
wastewater treatment and recovery system, which combines seven i84 VSEP
nanofiltration membrane modules, recovers wastewater for reuse within the plant.
The system, which is capable of processing approximately 200,000 gallons per
day, runs continuously automated by a programmable logic controller
(PLC).According to New Logic CEO Greg Johnson, "VSEP is fast becoming accepted
as the best available technology for tough wastewater treatment applications in
Australia. The Australian Hardboards installation represents our second
Australian installation in as many months; still more will be coming online
within the next year. We were honored to be a part of the ceremony, and to show
our commitment to helping to solve the Australian water shortage problem."New
Logic International Sales Manager Melysa Reiss adds, "The paradox of Australia's
decreasing water resources and increasing industrial demand requires innovative
technologies to bridge the gap. We are proud to have the opportunity to do just
that for Australian Hardboards and other firms throughout the continent."Water
shortage caused by drought and increased populations has created a crisis in
many parts of Australia. Water supply levels have fallen to 30% of normal, and
continue to drop. Local water districts have implemented severe water
restrictions to try to stop the drop in supply levels. Brisbane is currently at
a Level 4 water restriction that requires mandatory conservation. By recycling
its wastewater and reducing its fresh water intake using the VSEP system, AHL
has conserved the equivalent of 2000 homes worth of water supply per year. This
example of water conservation is being used as a showpiece for other industries
to follow.About New Logic Research, Inc.Headquartered in Emeryville, California,
