Bioscavenge ApS – PFAS piloting with scavenger resins

Task:

To evaluate specific scavenger resins for PFAS removal, a pilot plant was required—with complex series interconnection and solids management.

Solution:

On-site trials with a flexibly deployable rental pilot plant from MionTec. The configuration enabled fluidized-bed operation and solids separation between stages.

Result/Benefit:

The piloting delivered reliable data under real-world conditions and helped to specifically validate the subsequent full-scale plant concept.

SINTEF Industry – Laboratory System for IEX Processes

Challenge:

A research facility in Norway required a highly automated laboratory system for ion exchange processes – with flexibly adjustable process conditions.

Solution:

Following tests with a rental system, MionTec designed a laboratory system with three columns at 1-liter scale. Co-current and counter-current processes are possible in various operating modes – including comprehensive measurement technology.

Result/Benefit:

The system enables automated, reproducible tests with high reliability – an ideal foundation for further pilot-scale studies.

Fermentation broth – purification via ion exchange

Task:

A fermented process solution contained organic salts as by-products that hindered further processing.

Solution:

A two-stage ion exchange process was developed: first, the removal of hardness minerals, then the conversion of the salts into organic acids.

Result/Benefit:

The purified broth can now be further processed economically – the material stream was upgraded and disruptive by-products were specifically eliminated.

Euraqua Europe NV – Resin Comparison Test

Objective:

A direct performance comparison of various ion exchange resins was intended to show whether alternative manufacturers can keep pace with established brands—without quality risks.

Solution:

The resins were tested under identical conditions in a realistic series configuration and analyzed for various performance parameters.

Result/Benefit:

The tests revealed clear differences in performance and stability. MionTec was then able to provide well-founded recommendations for practical use in deionized water (DI) systems.

Evonik Marl – Optimization of Regenerant Consumption

Task:

On eight existing demineralization lines, continuous optimization of regenerant consumption was to be implemented – instead of sporadic readjustments.

Solution:

MionTec gradually installed the MiVision system in multiple generations. Specific metrological challenges were resolved, and the software was continuously developed.

Result/Benefit:

Regenerant quantities could initially be optimized manually and later semi-automatically. Result: Savings of over 45% while maintaining consistent water quality.

Sachsenmilch Leppersdorf – TOC Measurement in Condensate

Challenge:

In the condensate system of a dairy, the organic content needed to be measured quickly and with high resolution. The existing instrumentation was too slow and too imprecise, leading to unnecessary waste, cleaning effort, and costs.

Solution:

MionTec developed a proprietary measurement method that surpassed conventional online instruments in both measurement speed and sensitivity. Erroneous measurements typical of standard delta-conductivity TOC systems were systematically eliminated.

Result/Benefit:

A patent-pending, universally applicable TOC analyzer was created. Initial field tests are already underway at the customer site – with measurements up to 15 times faster and sensitivity more than 100 times better than previous solutions.

Stadtwerke München – Planning a new deionized water production facility (HKW Süd)

Task:

The entire deionized water production facility was to be redesigned over a period of up to 10 years, under constrained structural conditions and with the demolition of an existing building.

Solution:

MionTec facilitated a three-day workshop with all stakeholders to generate ideas, developed several solution scenarios, and translated them into a detailed basic engineering package including mass balances, cost comparisons, and automation concepts.

Result/benefit:

The deliverable is used as a technical appendix for the tender. The project was implemented in close coordination with SWM’s project management—providing a clear, robust concept for the coming years.
