Clean water treatment system
Water treatment is built around the source water, the required output quality, the capacity in use and the actual conditions of each building; this defines the technology, equipment configuration and method of control.
Treatment train
The treatment train is built from each project's required output and input conditions. Stages can be combined, added or left out on technical grounds; no system is assumed to share one configuration.
01
Source water
Assess the incoming water quality and flow to determine capacity and the treatment stages required.
Pumps
PumpsControls & instrumentation
Control panelsDepending on the case, stages may include media filtration, activated carbon, softening, iron/manganese removal, fine filtration, UF, RO, UV or other suitable treatment. The choice must rest on the required water quality, source water data and the system's operating conditions.
01
Source water, output quality, capacity and site conditions are the basis for the treatment approach. The configuration is reviewed for each project.
01Intended use
Define the use and the water quality it requires.
02Source water characteristics
Review the inlet water quality and the issues to treat.
03Capacity & usage pattern
Define flow, operating hours, load and redundancy needs.
04Site conditions
Review the space, infrastructure, power, water supply and drainage, and connection points.
05Operation & maintenance
Review the level of automation, control requirements, access and maintenance conditions.
Applications by need
The configuration changes with the intended use, the required water quality and the site conditions.
System components
Equipment is selected by function, specification and the system's operating conditions.
Pressure filters
Multimedia, activated carbon, softening or other media suited to the requirement.
Fine & microbial filtration
Protects downstream stages and controls particle size or the required filtration.
UF / RO
Membrane stages used when the water quality and system configuration call for them.
UV & disinfection
Supports microbial control for the system and its intended use.
Tanks & storage
Storage, buffering and balancing of the system's duty, per configuration.
Pumps
Supply, pressure, circulation, RO or dosing, by the function of each segment.
Piping, valves & fittings
Connect the segments, control flow and meet the system's material requirements.
Controls & instrumentation
Control, interlocks, protection, alarms and monitoring of the required parameters.
04
Technology, equipment and parameters are calculated together for fabrication, installation and operation.
01Capacity & duty
Flow, pressure, head, volume, number of units and duty characteristics.
02Hydraulics & piping
Velocity, pressure loss, pipe sizes, valves, fittings and flow distribution.
03Mechanical & materials
Structure, materials, specifications, joints, equipment layout and installation conditions.
04Water quality & treatment level
Required output, source water data and the necessary treatment scope.
05Operability & maintenance
Access, handling, consumable replacement, cleaning and equipment maintenance.
06Coordination with the building
Power, water supply and drainage, space, connection points and related systems.
