Technical Specifications
SCADA: Highly automated "intelligent" system reducing need for human intervention and providing enhanced water quality monitoring. Preventive use of collected data to anticipate variations in operating conditions.
Telemetry: Monitoring and intervention from a remote location through Internet-based telemetry.
Design flow range: 100 m3/day to 5000 m3/day.
Electric power requirements: Min. 220 volts - max. 600 volts (North America). Can be adapted for international markets.
Ozonation:
- Ozone (O3) is a natural gas produced by exposing air to an electrical field
- O3 is the most powerful oxidizer that can be used safely to treat water
- Elimination of pathogens and viruses
- Oxidation of iron and manganese
- Colour and odour reduction
- Safe and controlled production on site (ozone detector, alarms, materials compatible with O3)
- O3 analyser at reaction tank outlet with automatic adjustment of O3 generation based on fluctuations in raw water quality
- Effective ozone diffusion at start of process chain prevents fouling of membranes, which otherwise require daily chemical cleaning, as is the case of most membrane processes available on the market
Filter cleaning: Prefilter: water only. Membranes: air and water.
% efficiency: 85-90% (volume of water produced/volume of raw water x 100).
Disinfection logs in cold water T = 1.0 Celsius (ozone and membrane filtration):
- Giardia = 3.3 + logs
- Cryptosporidium = 6.5 + logs
- Virus = 7.1 + logs
