CIF® for Process Water Treatment
Continuous Ionic Filtration (CIF®) from Multotec can achieve water recoveries of up to 95% and higher in various applications like mining, industrial and municipal process water treatment. It has also proven highly effective for metals recovery, including base metals recovery.
The CIF® water treatment process simultaneously removes dissolved salts (TDS) and suspended solids (TSS) from process water.
Multotec partnered with Australian company Clean TeQ to introduce continuous counter-current ion exchange technology to the African market. The process water treatment technology is now available worldwide from Multotec – helping global companies reduce operating and capital costs.
- High water recovery
- Reduced brine production
- Reduced chemical consumption
- Reduced maintenance requirements
- Smaller plant footprint

Features and operation of CIF®
Filter, separate and purify process water with lower costs and maintenance. The modular full-scale and mobile CIF® range for process water treatment consists of single stage CIF®, dual stage DeSALx® and HiROx® to remove both cations and anions from feed waters.
CIF® has high solids handling capabilities and is flexible to changing feed conditions. It has the potential to recover valuable by-products and is able to achieve zero liquid discharge (ZLD). Additional features:
- Modular and mobile
- Self-cleaning
- Robust, with the ability to operate in high scaling and fouling conditions
- Optimised resin inventory
The way it works
- Adsorption: Feed water enters the bottom of the adsorption column and leaves via the top, ready for beneficial re-use or complementary processing.
- Resin washing: “Dirty” ion-loaded resin is washed from contaminant solids in a fluidised wash process.
- Desorption: Ion-loaded resin is introduced to the application-specific regeneration solutions, alkalis, acids or salts.
- Final Washing: Regeneration solutions are washed from the regenerated resin for recovery and reuse in the Ionic Filtration column.

Achieving Zero Liquid Discharge with Multotec products and services
In mining and industrial process water treatment, water should be considered a revenue stream. Wastewater from many mines contain valuables and some mines are currently relooking at ways of using recycled water to produce revenue instead of disposing the water.
The continuous clean ion exchange (CIX) technology is developed by CleanTeQ. Multotec has partnered with CleanTeQ for the supply of CIX® technology for process water treatment and metal recovery in metallurgical flowsheets. Technologies such as CIF®/CIX® help companies achieve zero liquid discharge (ZLD), in mine water treatment.
We also offer Clean-iX, a metal recovery solution
Clean-iX is a highly efficient and cost-effective for metals recovery that combines efficient forms of extraction with the best resin, providing an optimum metal recovery.
