Water Planet #IMS-5000, Ceramic Ultrafiltration System

IMS-5000 Ceramic Ultrafiltration System

Engineered for Challenging Water Treatment in Oil & Gas, Mining, and Heavy Industry
The IMS-5000 is a robust, fully integrated, turnkey, and winterized ceramic ultrafiltration (UF)
treatment system designed to handle some of the harshest feedwaters encountered in
industrial operations. Ideal for remote, high-TSS, oil-laden, corrosive, or variable-quality
streams, this modular platform delivers exceptional water recovery and reliability in demanding
environments such as:

• Produced water in upstream oil & gas
• Industrial process wastewater
• Mine effluent treatment

With just 811 hours of prior operation, this unit is field-proven and low-hour, offering a cost-
effective and ready-to-deploy solution for industrial procurement teams.
