Compact Solutions for Drinking Water Treatment

Complete process technology for the treatment of surface water

Surface water can be treated into drinking water using the following physical, mechanical and chemical process steps:

• Coagulation: Dosing a coagulant to the raw wastewater
• Flocculation: Dosing a flocculant, and possibly a flocculation aid, to the raw wastewater results in the formation of flocs.
• Clarification: The flocs are separated from the water e.g. with a lamella separator.
• Filtration: The clarified water is then filtered to separate even the smallest solids and flocs. Depending on the requirements, single-layer or multi-layer sand filters can be used for this purpose.  
• Disinfection: Depending on the requirements, various options are available for disinfection: sodium and calcium hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide, chlorine, ozone, UV disinfection.

The Mena-Water SafeDrink Package Plant is a cost-optimised treatment system that is available in a containerised design for quick-and-easy installation and is highly mobile.

For more extensive purification of the water, reverse osmosis can be used as a further process step. Reverse osmosis is also able to separate dissolved salts and harmful compounds. The Mena-Water Reverse Osmosis System is quickly ready for use on site with little installation effort.
