Among the best treatment capabilities in the industry. See for yourself!

 

Information on the treatment capabilities of a variety of technologies has now been published. The scientific data is in. A close comparison of the certified treatment capabilities of the various technologies available on the market demonstrates that Dagua is a leader in treatment performance. In fact, Dagua ranks first among Canadian suppliers of technologies certified by the Quebec Department of Sustainable Development on all of the key parameters measured (turbidity, TOC and colour).

 

Table 1 presents detailed information on the treatment performances that have positioned Dagua as the industry leader.

Distinctive economic levers for our clients

 

Dagua combines the following benefits to provide compelling value for its clients:

• Prefabrication and delivery of plant with housing to minimize on-site construction

 

• Substantial annual savings in expenses for chemicals

 

• Automated, stand-alone operations requiring minimal operator intervention

 

• No complex sludge or toxic waste management

 

• High processing efficiency (minimal backwash water disposal)

 

• No premature wear on membranes due to intense, repetitive chemical cleaning

 

• No specialized labour required to operate the plant

 

• Smaller footprint than conventional coagulation processes

 

• Significant reduction in the need for chlorine since disinfection is complete

 

• No alteration in the pH of treated water, so no remineralization required

 

Exceptional overall cost structure for clients

 

Unlike many other treatment technologies, the DaguaFlo solution requires no costly chemical products, specialized labour or replacement parts. Thus, power supply represents the main operating cost. These benefits result in savings on operating costs of up to 40%, representing a significant overall economic value for our clients.

 

Dagua’s rate structure offers a significant overall financial advantage by combining capital costs with operating costs over a 20-year period. In the municipal sector, where operating costs are financed through tax revenue, it is especially important to consider all costs associated with water treatment technology. And Dagua has nothing to fear from comparison.

 

All told, the technological breakthrough that Dagua has accomplished in chemical-free water treatment enables community decision makers to balance their financial capacities with both regulatory requirements for drinking water and the growing support for sustainable development.
