VSEP

VSEP Membrane Cleaners In addition to filtration systems, New Logic manufactures

a complete line of chemical cleaners designed to maintain maximum flow rates
in
all VSEP applications.Years of exhaustive research and development by New
Logic
engineers have resulted in seven chemical cleaners formulated to
attack the most
stubborn foulants across a wide range of membranes and feed
streams.While
designed for VSEP membrane filtration systems, these advanced
formulas are
perfect for cleaning any membrane.To learn more about VSEP

While
membrane-based separations of liquids from solids have
enjoyed increasing
popularity over the last 20 years, the technology has an
inherent Achilles heel
that affects all membrane devices: fouling. This
long-term loss in throughput
capacity is due primarily to the formation of a
boundary layer that builds up
naturally on the membranes surface during the
filtration process.In addition to
cutting down on the flux performance of
the membrane, this boundary or gel layer
acts as a secondary membrane
reducing the native design selectivity of the
membrane in use.EMERYVILLE,
Calif. and IPSWICH, Australia, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/
-- New Logic Research,
Inc., the maker of VSEP, the vibrating membrane
filtration system, announced
today its participation in the official
commissioning ceremony for the
Australian Hardboards Water Recycling Plant in
Queensland, Australia.On hand
for the ceremony were members of the Australian
Hardboards and New Logic
executive team, as well as numerous business leaders
and local officials,
including Cr. Paul Pisasale, the mayor of Ipswich.The
wastewater treatment
and recovery system, which combines seven i84 VSEP
nanofiltration membrane
modules, recovers wastewater for reuse within the plant.
The system, which
is capable of processing approximately 200,000 gallons per
day, runs
continuously automated by a programmable logic controller
(PLC).According to
New Logic CEO Greg Johnson, "VSEP is fast becoming accepted
as the best
available technology for tough wastewater treatment applications in

Australia. The Australian Hardboards installation represents our second

Australian installation in as many months; still more will be coming online

within the next year. We were honored to be a part of the ceremony, and to
show
our commitment to helping to solve the Australian water shortage
problem."New
Logic International Sales Manager Melysa Reiss adds, "The
paradox of Australia's
decreasing water resources and increasing industrial
demand requires innovative
technologies to bridge the gap. We are proud to
have the opportunity to do just
that for Australian Hardboards and other
firms throughout the continent."Water
shortage caused by drought and
increased populations has created a crisis in
many parts of Australia. Water
supply levels have fallen to 30% of normal, and
continue to drop. Local
water districts have implemented severe water
restrictions to try to stop
the drop in supply levels. Brisbane is currently at
a Level 4 water
restriction that requires mandatory conservation. By recycling
its
wastewater and reducing its fresh water intake using the VSEP system, AHL

has conserved the equivalent of 2000 homes worth of water supply per year.
This
example of water conservation is being used as a showpiece for other
industries
to follow.About New Logic Research, Inc.Headquartered in
