PT Bayu Surya Bakti Konstruksi’s (BSBK) recent commissioning of the new 450 m3/hour project in Medang Kampai marks a significant milestone in sustainable water management in the region.

The new water treatment plant addresses the growing demand for reliable water supply in the area. The source of the water is the Kemili river, which has a high load of colour caused by humic acids (plant residues). These types of waters can be treated optimally with HFNF membranes which require hardly any chemical dosing and operate at low pressure, thus consuming less energy. The result is a low cost and low CO2 footprint solution for very high-water quality. NX Filtration says that the total cost of ownership lies around US$0.20 per m3 of water produced, which is very competitive with conventional treatment schemes, but with a much better water quality.

"We are proud to unveil this state-of-the-art water treatment facility, which embodies our commitment to excellence and sustainability," said Nyoman Yasa Negara, director of BSBK. "Through strategic partnerships and the cutting-edge membrane technology provided by NX Filtration, we are advancing towards our goal of ensuring access to safe and affordable water for the people of Indonesia."

“We are honoured to be part of this transformative initiative, which underscores the importance of innovative solutions in addressing water challenges,” said Robert Gerard, sales director at NX Filtration. “NX Filtration is committed to driving sustainable progress through our advanced membrane technology, and we look forward to further collaborations in the pursuit of water security and resource conservation.”
