Water from underground intakes is characterized by a lack of anthropogenic pollutants. It often needs to be treated to remove excessive levels of iron and manganese, as well as disinfected before being introduced into the water supply network. However, each intake has its own characteristics.
Our engineers analyze the data obtained from the client each time and select the optimal treatment technology. Our technologists have been involved in the development and implementation of the largest treatment plants in the country.
Examples of projects on groundwater include the Krzywe Błota WTP in Włocławek and the Dolina Radości WTP in Gdańsk.
Surface water requires a series of treatment steps due to the pollutants present in it. In addition to typical industrial pollutants, periodic algae blooms may also occur.
Changing of legal regulations (e.g. removal of pharmaceuticals, microplastics) and increasing demand with limited resources are also challenges. Our technologists help implement new technologies and seek new sources of water for treatment, such as water recovery from wastewater or desalination of saline water.
We have designed and implemented upgrades for the largest treatment plants in the country, including all Warsaw water supply plants, where we have implemented flotation systems, ozonation, and activated carbon filtration, among others.
Due to changing regulations and advancing global warming, which limits our already small water resources, industrial plants and water companies are forced to optimize their water and wastewater management. One of the elements of this trend is the water recovery. The essence of this process is the return/reuse of adequately purified water. Every plant produces more or less polluted wastewater. Depending on the type of pollution, different water treatment technologies are applied for "water recovery".
For initial purification (removal of solid particles) for water recovery purposes, settlers, filters, or ultrafiltration are used. For further purification, i.e. removal of dissolved compounds, reverse osmosis is utilized. In the case of complete wastewater disposal, evaporation can be used (ZLD technology), where besides recovered water, we also obtain salt, which can have further applications or be subject to disposal. For the recovery of rinse waters, lamellar separators, membrane technology, pressurized ultrafiltration, and sub-pressure ultrafiltration are used. For wastewater from other production processes, in which oily substances, petroleum derivatives, and other difficult-to-remove compounds may occur, an individual approach is required when selecting the appropriate technology.
Water recovery is certainly a costly investment, but in the global perspective, it is profitable, as the costs of water extraction from already limited resources are significantly higher. Our company can currently boast the construction of such systems for dairy processing plants, where membrane technologies are utilized.
In order to precisely determine the effectiveness of the proposed process solutions and select the appropriate technology, we offer the opportunity to conduct tests on a semi-technical scale using our own pilot plants.
We have the following pilot systems:
- Pressure flotation system (with coagulation and flocculation)
- Filtration system, Sedimentation system,
- Reverse osmosis system (with the possibility of cooling the treated medium),
- Disinfection and chemical oxidation system.
The pilot devices operate on real inflows of treated water or wastewater. They can work at the Client's site for any agreed-upon time, with operator support provided by us. There is also the option to train the Client's employees.
Conducting such tests before the design phase allows for a fairly precise determination of equipment design assumptions, the effectiveness of proposed processes, and investment and operating costs, even before the project implementation. Carrying out such tests is also an excellent tool for accurately evaluating tender offers.
Our priority is to create projects that meet the highest requirements and standards, so we pay attention to every detail at every stage of our work. We utilize innovative solutions to ensure that our creations are characterized by functionality, efficiency, and reliability.
