LiqTech Secures Follow-On Order from a US-based Steel Manufacturer for Expanded Industrial Wastewater Filtration Capacity
Rhea-AI Summary
LiqTech (Nasdaq: LIQT) announced a follow-on order of more than US $2 million from a US-based steel manufacturer for four additional QureFlow™ industrial wastewater filtration systems. This builds on an initial QureFlow installation in 2025.
Upon completion, the customer will operate five of LiqTech’s largest QureFlow configurations, totaling 4,110 membranes and about 1,368 m² of installed membrane surface area. The expanded setup is designed to treat an average of 400 gallons per minute of industrial wastewater, with capacity for peak flows of about 515 gallons per minute for limited periods.
The systems use LiqTech’s proprietary silicon carbide ceramic crossflow ultrafiltration technology, aimed at challenging industrial water streams where conventional filtration may face issues such as variability, fouling, oil content, suspended solids, or process upsets. According to LiqTech, the modular QureFlow design allows customers to add capacity as operational needs evolve and aligns with its strategic focus on water for energy and industry.
