Water Plus+ Clarifiers
For purification of water from dams, rivers and non-saline water sources

WaterPlus+ Clarifier Systems are recommended for treating water that is non-saline, or contains low concentrations of dissolved salts, such as river and dam water. These systems are suitable for purification of water containing turbidity (i.e. clay and sediment) and low salt levels. 

WaterPlus+ Clarifiers remove harmful contaminants from drinking water by utilising chemical processes to remove sediment, pollutants, bacteria and viruses. A typical plant includes a clarifier, a sand filter, chemical metering system, pH control and water pumps. Optional equipment includes carbon filters, ultraviolet light disinfection and electrical generators. 

The WaterPlus+ Clarification process produces good quality water suitable for drinking. The water purification process is automated to ensure reliable operation and consistent water quality.

 

Process Description

WaterPlus+ Clarifiers purify water by the addition of chemicals to remove sediment, suspended solids, and other contaminants. Water is processed batch-wise in the clarifier. Once the tank is filled with water, coagulant is added and the pH adjusted by the addition of alkali. On completion of the initial mixing period, flocculant is added resulting in rapid clarification of the water and precipitation of solids.

The clean, solids free water is pumped from the Clarifier, through a sand filter & disinfection chamber and then to storage. The thickened sludge is discharged intermittently.

 

Benefits

The WaterPlus+ Clarifer systems apply a water treatment process that is an accepted standard for the treatment of low salinity, turbid waters. The process is used at thousands of water treatment facilties around the world.

The treatment process is computer controlled and fully automated to ensure consistent product water quality.

Chemical addition rates, mixing times and clarification period are operator adjustable via a set of timers.

The WaterPlus+ Clarifer systems are supplied fully assembled on a painted steel baseframe and are designed around standard ISO shipping container dimensions.

Camlok type connections are provided for interconnection to the feed water supply, product water, waste discharge and filter backwash water supply.
 

Water Plus+ Evaporators
For purification of saline water and water from sources containing high concentrations of dissolved salts
Evaporators that utilise our Cold Evaporation technology are recommended for saline water, or water that contains high concentrations of dissolved salts, such as bore water and seawater. 

The Cold Evaporation process produces very high purity water from water sources that would otherwise be unsuitable for drinking. Purification is achieved via a process of water boiling and subesquent steam or vapour condensation.  

The process is easy to operate, requires minimal chemical addition and is very stable. The process will tolerate variations in feed water quality without any affect on product water quality. Even polluted water can be used as feedwater. The process has been successfully applied to purifying wastewater containing electroplating wastes, low level radioactivity and pesticides. Pollutants are reduced to part per billion levels.  

The Cold Evaporation process is also very affective at disinfection as viruses and bacteria are physically destoyed by the applied vacuum.  

The WaterPlus+ Evaporators are supplied fully assembled on a painted steel baseframe and are designed around standard ISO container dimensions.

 

Process Description

Cold Evaporation is a process that purifies water by boiling and subsequent condensation of the water vapour. As water boils, the change in physical state from liquid to gas removes all water soluble chemicals. When the vapour is condensed it is purified and free of salt contamination. . 

Cold Evaporation is an energy efficient process that utilises refrigeration in a heat pump cycle to reduce by 80% the energy required for water boiling and vapour condensation. Energy is continuously recycled in the system as water and refrigerant concurrently change physical state. 

Boiling occurs under vacuum, so that the process operates at a low safe temperature of 25°C .

 

Benefits

EASY TO OPERATE
Push button start sequence allows unit to be brought into operation quickly. Plant operation is automatic and computer controlled. It is designed for unattended operation. . 

EASY TO MONITOR
Large viewing windows enable inspection of the boiling wastewater & condensed water. An operator interface displays relevant operating conditions such as vacuum, temperature & refrigeration pressures.  

EASY TO MAINTAIN
The system has only a few moving parts, thereby minimising maintenance requirements. 

OTHER BENEFITS:

  • Low operating costs
  • Low maintenance costs
  • Minimal pretreatment. The process will tolerate variable feedwater quality.
  • Effective for TDS, BOD, TOC & COD reduction.
  • Consistently produces high quality distilled water.
  • No sludge production - the effluent discharged is a high strength salt solution.
