WHAT'S NEW

HVCF MEMBRANES

(HIGH VELOCITY CROSS FLOW)

CORNCOB is a High Pressure,High Velocity Cross Flow Membrane System.  This membrane system includes a whole new technology intended to eliminate conventional pretreatment, increase the throughput flux (gpd/ft2) to a new high level and reduce operating energy.

Key differences in the technology are the means to attain a very high cross flow velocity across the membrane surface, with minimum energy input, and to achieve a high flux rate while accommodating a high solids content.

CORE BENEFITS:

  • Proven technology

  • Self cleaning

  • High flux rates

  • Small footprint

  • No additives, flocculants

  • Easy retrofitting and expansion

  • Low maintenance

  • Self-contained, enclosed system

  • Selective and consistent separation

  • Increased product yield

  • Accepts large variation in feed quality, including higher suspended solids

  • Provides easy O&M with fully-automated user interface

CORNCOB, Inc. is honored to have been chosen by the Water Council as a 2016 Brew Accelerator Innovation winner from a worldwide pool of startups led by innovation-driven inventors/scholars.  Announced at the 2016 Water Summit held June 14-15 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA.

Basic Principles - HVCF (High Velocity Cross Flow)

CORNCOB I membrane technology uses tubular membranes in small diameter pressure vessels to provide operation at higher trans-membrane pressure and induce high cross flow velocities (HCFV) across the membrane surface.  Both factors result in much higher operating flux, or throughput, than is achieved in other membrane configurations.  The tubular geometry also opens the space between membrane surfaces which permits the feed water to contain higher suspended solids concentrations and particle size without plugging.  This feature, in particular, allows the membranes to achieve complete treatment of raw domestic wastewater with very limited pre-treatment.

The CORNCOB membrane array is supplied with a complete automated operating system to minimize requirements for operator attendance.

CORNCOB, INC. has applied this technology in complete treatment systems treating Land Fill Leachate and Raw Domestic Wastewater.  Additional pilot testing on a whole host of industrial wastewaters has verified excellent performance, and in some cases represents the only solution.

CORNCOB I technology will provide cost effective solutions to many wastewater, water reuse, and process separation applications.

Pilot testing is recommended as a basis for full scale system design.

Core Benefits:

  • Dramatic Energy Reduction

  • Advanced Self-Cleaning

  • High Flux Rate

  • Small Footprint

  • Enclosed System

  • Chemicals for Cleaning Only

  • Easy O & M

  • Handles Higher/Larger Influent Solids

Basic Principles - HVCF (High Velocity Cross Flow)

You're looking at CORNCOB, Inc.'s latest new product, a High Pressure, High Velocity Cross Flow UF Disc Membrane System called the CORNCOB II.  This membrane system includes a whole new technology intended to eliminate conventional pretreatment, increase the throughput flux (gpd/ft2) to a new high level, and reduce operating energy.

Key differences in the technology are the means to attain a very high cross flow velocity across the membrane surface, with minimum energy input, and to achieve high flux rate while accommodating a high solids content.

What you see is a meshed rotating disc system with discs mounted on two or more adjacent shafts where the discs on one shaft fill the space between discs on the adjacent shaft.  The discs arrayed on the shafts look like a CORNCOB, hence the name.
