Water treatment plant
Water treatment plants are process engineering devices that treat water for special requirements. Chemical, physical and mechanical processes can be used for processing. Water treatment systems are used for both fresh water and waste water . Depending on the requirements, ingredients are removed and / or added to the water to be treated. The systems usually consist of several process steps, such as mechanical pre-cleaning (for river and surface water), aeration, deacidification , decarbonization , precipitation , flocculation , filter systems , iron removal and manganese removal , softening , demineralization , hardening, etc.
Areas of application
- Drinking water treatment also for mineral water
- Seawater desalination
- Process water treatment in industry
- Cooling water for power plants
- Water treatment in the swimming pool
- Wastewater treatment in sewage treatment plants
- Softening systems in the household for tea or coffee
- Rainwater treatment in the household
Mobile systems
Small mobile water treatment systems are characterized by quick commissioning and easy operation. They are used immediately on site to obtain pure drinking water and have capacities of 5,000 to 15,000 l / h. But they can also be used in industry, e.g. B. to work off excess capacity of (process) wastewater. Here the capacities can easily reach sizes of 30 to 40 m³ / h.
Main areas of application:
- Disaster areas
- Aid organizations such as Technisches Hilfswerk (THW), German Red Cross (DRK), Malteser Hilfsdienst (MHD), Austrian Red Cross (ÖRK), Austrian Workers' Samaritan Association (ASBÖ)
- Drinking water production in the military
The systems are fully equipped with all the necessary filter inserts, suction and pressure water hoses and product tanks. They can be easily transported to the required location using conventional transporters (minibuses, trailers, etc.). Larger systems are correspondingly more complex to transport, e.g. B. with low loaders .
