Southern Water opts for Veolia’s Hydrotech Discfilter

BIRMINGHAM, U.K. - Nov. 4, 2013 - PRLog -- Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies has been awarded a contract to supply a Veolia Hydrotech Discfilter for tertiary treatment at Southern Water’s Goddards Green STW in West Sussex. Southern Water has joined an increasing number of UK water companies who have recognised that the low headloss, low maintenance, fully automatic Hydrotech Discfilter represents an alternative to conventional sand filters whilst sacrificing nothing in performance. The plant, which will meet a 95 percentile guarantee of 10mg/l Total Suspended Solids standard, is due to be operational by March 2014.

Hydrotech Discfilter modules for flow rates up to 1,000 L/s can be supplied on steel frames for building into concrete chambers or as stand-alone stainless steel tank units. Modular design allows flexibility in choice of materials – ABS plastic or stainless steel for the discs, 304 or 316 stainless steel for frames and tanks and a choice of 10, 20, 500 or 1000 micron woven textile filter elements – making it the perfect filtration system for a variety of industrial applications. Veolia has over fifteen years’ experience of using Hydrotech Discfilters in a wide variety of industries including power generation, food processing, mining, pulp and paper and textiles manufacturing, and can provide expert guidance on your requirements.
