Testimonials

Over the past fifteen years Huon Aquaculture has been proud to work in partnership with Quantum Filtration Medium. In this time Quantum has, and continues to provide us with state-of-the-art filtering systems, chlorine dosing systems and backflush systems that support the viability and efficiency of our freshwater facilities. DMI-65 is a revolutionary filtration media used for the removal of heavy metals such as Iron and Magnesium for industrial and municipal water treatment. These high levels of metal are toxic to fish prior to being filtered, therefore these systems are crucial to the healthy growth and safe farming of our salmon.

Since the start of our partnership in 2007, Quantum has been a flexible company to work with, has been opened to change and has formulated many ideas that have been beneficial to the growth of Huon as a company. The high standard of water that DMI-65 produces allows for us to ensure the integrity of our product while maintaining the highest quality output of healthy Huon Salmon.

APP Group’s water treatment plant at Pindo Deli 2, processes 33 million litres of water per day, for paper and pulp production. Eight filters, containing, two hundred and fifty tonnes of DMI-65®, remove iron and manganese to below the Indonesian Standard of <0.02ppm Fe and <0.05ppm Mn

The DMI-65 filter media has performed well in removing iron contained in the well water. In addition to iron removal lowered SDI’s has addressed the fouling to down stream cartridge filter elements and RO membranes that was previously a fouling problem from filter aid chemical passage through the MM filters.

The outcome of the proposed upgrade is to provide low cost options utilising existing plant and equipment to increase the quality and quantity of water to the power plant, whilst reducing maintenance and on-going operating costs.

K2O Consulting recommended and supplied a silica sand media called DMI-65 as a replacement media. DMI-65 was installed in just one of the filters and after an initial start-up period, the DMI-65 was found to remove the arsenic on a consistent basis to less than 10 parts per billion.

In November of 2004, Aquasol was commissioned to design and build a chemical treatment plant for all water usage operations on site, whist complying with AQIS (Australian Quarantine & Inspection Services) standards for both potable water sources and export-grade processing waters.

After an extensive search for a solution that was both effective and cost efficient we were advised to contact Quantum Filtration Medium P/L. They recommended their new water filtration media DMI-65. We were assured that their product DMI-65 would remove the iron and manganese to a level that would enable us to discharge the treated water into the Swan River as required by the DoE and the SRT.

V & V Walsh engineering staff decided to trial a new technology developed and supplied locally by Quantum Filtration from Bunbury. They installed a new water filtration system specifically designed for treating bore water for Iron and Manganese removal. This is a new product on the market and has approval from the US Water Quality Association to the standard NSF/ANSI 21 for potable water use. This certificate of validation for the new product known as DMI65 also states the material safety of the media has earned the gold seal from the US Water Quality Association.
