PURIFICATION AND POTABILIZATION OF SURFACE WATERS / WELLS / DRILLINGS
Applications
It is a water treatment system that is used to obtain drinking water from:
- Well water;
- Water from lakes and ponds;
- River waters;
- Water from natural sources.
Characteristics of the waters to be treated
- Turbidity is sometimes high, being highly variable because during the rainy season it increases dramatically;
- Suspended solids;
- Organic waste from illegal discharges from adjacent towns;
- Bacterial contamination;
- Industrial and urban waste;
- The presence of iron and manganese;
- Presence of arsenic;
- Presence of boron.
Technology applied in treatment
The ultrafiltration technique is used, whose characteristics are:
- The physical separation of different substances by means of the pressure exerted on a membrane, the water that passes through it retains the pollutants;
- The degree of separation depends on the size of the pore;
- Eliminates suspended and colloidal solids, which cause turbidity, and pathogenic microorganisms found in water;
- These are processes that do not depend much on temperature;
- Applies to many other clarification processes, emulsion separation, sterilization, etc;
- The dirtiness of the membrane will depend on the quality of the water;
- Adequate pretreatment is needed to avoid scaling, as well as automatic backwash systems;
Advantages of the system
- They are modular, compact and portable;
- They occupy little surface, compared to a conventional chemical process;
- Easy maintenance and low operational cost;
- For the chemical cleaning produced, only energy and some reagents are used;
- Eliminates or reduces pollutants whose components are of medium-high molecular weight;
- The waste produced can be re-dumped, as it does not increase pollution;
- Combines with other processes, eliminates the presence of iron, manganese and arsenic and ammonia;
- Sterilize the water;
- Water quality products in a continuous or discontinuous way without problems, according to the requirement;
- It can be powered by external power generators (diesel, solar, wind, etc.).
Conclusions
- The waters are produced in accordance with WHO norms / standards;
- It is the best water treatment system that does not depend on external agents (chemicals, etc.)
- 24/24 h service guarantee.
