CMAX wastewater filtration media

The CMAX filtration media is a specialty adsorbent designed to remove surfactants, soaps and detergents in wastewater. The filtration technology is claimed to be able to remove 100% surfactant in wastewater with typical surfactant loading of 60-80 mg/L or more. It can be incorporated in wastewater treatment plants such as commercial laundries, mine heavy/light vehicle wash systems and car wash systems. The quality of the treated water after CMAX treatment is deemed re-usable, resulting in high water recovery and possible cost savings. The technology has been used in commercial laundries to treat 200,000 L/day with up to 85% water recovery for re-use. In mine heavy/light vehicle wash systems, the technology is used to treat up to 100,000 L/day with up to 80% water recovery.

The technology can also be extended to wastewater treatment plants to reduce the usage of de-foaming chemical agents.

Main features include: Smart Approved WaterMark certified; granular and can be easily adapted in existing filtration systems; fast kinetics in adsorption of contaminants; ease of filling, emptying and cleaning filter vessels; and formulated from highly porous clay-based minerals.
