Manufacturing throughput can be increased by using water of consistently high quality, thus increasing profit potential and reducing costs. Ovivo supplies entire systems for the production and management of fresh and process waters as well as for the efficient treatment of wastewaters and effluents. Water is a shared resource and Ovivo truly believes that every small improvement in the way we use it will have a significant impact on the environment. Ovivo’s technological advances and the increasing sophistication of its systems are major elements in the drive to reduce the costs of water and wastewater treatment.

Mill water quality requirements have been tightened to produce high quality pulp and paper grades. Ovivo has become a leader in the development of equipment and technologies to meet the new demands.

Our key processes for boiler feedwater production are CONESEP® Technology, FlooIX™ Ion Exchanger, FlooRO™ Reverse Osmosis and different types of filtration. Reverse osmosis is the finest filtration known. The FlooRO™ Reverse Osmosis is used to produce water that meets the high water quality standards demanded by our clients.

Boiler feedwater treatment is not adequate when small amounts of impurities can get into the condensate, causing corrosion problems. Polishing of the condensate is required in order to meet the quality needs of the high-pressure thermal cycles, and also to minimize consumption of make-up water. Ovivo’s advanced solution for condensate polishing comprises cartridge, or pre-coat, filtration and an FlooMB™ Mixed Bed Ion Exchanger. 

Today’s requirements for decreased water consumption call for improved water management at mills. Ovivo’s solutions born of significant pulp and paper industry experience respond solidly to that challenge.

Ovivo’s advanced microflotation technology is called FlooDaf® Microflotation. Its main features are its rectangular shape, automatic dispersion water and basin level control. As a result of this, FlooDaf Microflotation can have high hydraulic loading and a small footprint, while still maintaining good separation efficiency

Today, industrial plants are taking full responsibility for the way their process waters affect production and the environment. Fresh water taken from nature is cleaned, utilized and recycled carefully within the processes and, when returned to nature, that water must meet stringent standards. These targets can be achieved using FlooBed® technology based biological treatment solutions.

Pulp and paper mills face increased demands for higher quality process water due to increasing machine speeds and improved product quality. At the same time, mills are under pressure to decrease water consumption and treat effluent more efficiently to reduce environmental loading to even lower levels. For most mills, a conventional biological effluent treatment is inadequate to reach the tight effluent concentrations increasingly demanded.
