Mahmud, in general these approaches are very similar and as Sean explained below the subtle technological advances associated with the CPI approach provide marginally better results/economics although do have drawbacks around reliability. Our approach at Clean Industrial has been deploying rapid oil water separation capabilities in mobile platform - using an integrated membrane system (IMS). This system is comprised of an upfront liquid-liquid centrifuge and a ceramic membrane system that are controlled by an intelligent control system which enables a high level of efficiency / reliability of the robust UF ceramic membrane system. This approach allows for instant separation and often is able to break emulsions that would otherwise remain in a gravity based system. Our IMS approach gives you high quality effluent / filtrate, ability to deal with varying influent qualilties, rapid and reliable separation via a very small footprint.

Can you provide a comparison between the CAPEX and OPEX vs Conventional. I mean you do have a lot of energy needed to run a centrifuge and then there is always potential membrane fouling. I am assuming this is for an oil refinery. This may help in the decision-making process. Just my thoughts as I was reading through your spec sheet. Don’t get me wrong I love the technology, but sometimes the economics are not there to run such a system. Can you aluminate those doubts for him? Thanks, Sean.
