Water Treatment

Water treatment plants design and operation optimization

Leading services include all aspects of water treatment in connection with the water origin (eg surface, groundwater), the quality (physicochemical, microbiological) of natural water and the relevant legislation.

On conventional, advanced and more complex water treatment schemes. From straightforward physicochemical processes (coagulation-sedimentation-filtration-disinfection) to advanced treatment technologies, such as Ozonation, Activated Carbon (powder – PAC, filters – GAC and biological – BAC), Membranes (ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis), advanced oxidation processes (AOP) and Ion-exchange. Focus and Specialized on small scale water treatment projects.

Technical assessment, performance evaluation and optimization of plant operation. Feasibility studies and strategic project planning, construction supervision, commissioning of facilities.

Design for Water sampling programs and organization of collection and recording of results.

Study and implementation of pilot equipment and pilot testing.Expertise addressing specific issues such as the presence of toxic substances, micro-pollutants, odour and taste problems on potable water, etc.

Deep knowledge in water disinfection.

Water Supply

Holistic approach on all the links of the drinking water supply chain. Protection of sources, water abstraction, transport, treatment, storage and distribution.

Water leakage control. Water balance and benchmarking calculations. Field actions with flow control meter sensors. Design of remote sensing systems.

Investigation and studying specific problems of clogging water supply pipelines from deposits.

The sensitive issue of drinking water encounters organizational weaknesses, shortages in data needed for the evaluation of water status and the formulation of proposals for improving operations.

Overcoming problems requires serious efforts in the long run. Until then, caution should be exercised in assessments and interventions, so as not to cause greater problems than those sought to be addressed.
