· DAF Clarifiers

DAF (Dissolved Air Flotation) clarifiers are advanced water treatment systems that use dissolved air flotation to separate suspended solids, fats and oils from liquids. This process is based on the injection of air into the water, generating bubbles that adhere to the particles, allowing them to float to the surface.

Ideal for applications in industries such as food, petrochemical and wastewater treatment, DAF clarifiers are highly efficient, improving the quality of treated water and reducing operating costs. Its compact and versatile design adapts to different volumes and water characteristics, ensuring optimal performance in every operation

Optimise your water treatment process with our DAF clarifiers and contribute to a more sustainable future.

· Electrocoagulation

Electrocoagulation is a water treatment process that uses electrical current to remove contaminants. By applying electricity to electrodes (usually Fe or Al) immersed in water, coagulants are generated from the oxidation of the electrodes and gas bubbles. These coagulants bind to particles and contaminants, forming flocs that can be easily separated from water. This method is effective for removing suspended solids, heavy metals, and oils, and is used in a variety of applications, such as industrial wastewater treatment and water purification. Electrocoagulation offers advantages such as better efficiency and less need for chemicals.

· Reverse osmosis

Reverse osmosis is a water purification process that uses a semipermeable membrane to separate water molecules from contaminants and dissolved solutes. When pressure is applied, contaminated water is forced through the membrane in the opposite direction of natural osmosis, resulting in purified water and a concentrate of contaminants.

In water treatment plants, reverse osmosis improves water quality, efficiently removing dissolved solids, salts, and heavy metals. Although they can be expensive to install and operate, in the long run they can reduce treatment and maintenance costs. However, it also presents challenges, such as membrane wear and the generation of concentrated effluents that must be managed. Overall, it is a key technology for ensuring high-quality drinking water and for various industrial applications.

· Ultrafiltration

Ultrafiltration is a separation process in water treatment plants that uses semipermeable membranes to remove particles, bacteria, and macromolecules, allowing water and small solutes to pass through. It operates at pressures lower than reverse osmosis and is effective in improving the quality of drinking water and treating wastewater. Its advantages include chemical-free contaminant removal and low maintenance, although it may face challenges such as membrane clogging and the need for energy to operate. It is an essential technology in water treatment in various sectors.

· Solid Separator (Screens)

Screens are devices used in wastewater treatment to separate solids of different sizes from the effluent, improving water quality and protecting downstream equipment. They work through grids, meshes, or screens that allow water to pass while retaining solids. There are static and mechanical screens, which can be automated and vibrating. Their use prevents blockages in treatment systems and ensures the efficiency of the purification process. Additionally, they facilitate the recovery and disposal of retained solids.

· Sludge Dehydrator

A sludge dehydrator is equipment used in wastewater treatment to reduce the water content in the sludge produced, making it easier to handle, transport, and dispose of. It works with methods like filter presses, centrifuges, and belt dehydrators that separate water from solids. Before dehydration, the sludge is usually pre-treated to increase the solids concentration. The result is dehydrated sludge with a smaller volume, which cuts costs and minimizes environmental impact.

· MBR (Membrane Bioreactor)

The MBR (Membrane Bioreactor) is an advanced technology for wastewater treatment that combines a biological reactor with a membrane separation system. In the bioreactor, microorganisms break down organic matter, while the membranes retain biomass and suspended solids, allowing high-quality effluent to pass through. Its advantages include higher efficiency in removing contaminants, a smaller footprint, and the ability to remove nutrients. Although it has a high initial cost and faces challenges like membrane fouling, it is widely used in urban and industrial wastewater treatment, as well as in desalination applications.

· MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor)

The MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor) is a wastewater treatment technology that uses a biofilm system on moving supports. It consists of a tank where the support media allow microorganisms to grow and break down contaminants. The movement of the supports, driven by water flow, enhances the contact between the biofilms and the effluent, boosting treatment efficiency. Its advantages include high performance in removing organic matter and nutrients, a smaller footprint, and flexibility with different contaminant loads. It’s used in urban and industrial wastewater, although it can involve higher upfront costs and requires good management of the biofilms.

· Anaerobic Biodigesters

Anaerobic biodigesters are systems that break down organic matter in the absence of oxygen, harnessing the action of microorganisms. This process transforms waste like manure and agricultural scraps into biogas, a renewable energy source, and digestate, which is a biofertilizer.

Benefits:

● Energy production: The biogas generated can be used for heating or electricity.

● Waste reduction: They contribute to the sustainable management of organic waste.

●Soil improvement: The digestate enriches soil fertility.

● Climate change mitigation: By capturing methane, they help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Anaerobic biodigesters are an effective solution for promoting sustainability and a circular economy.
