ACTIFLO® for Drinking Water Treatment has over 420 drinking installations worldwide treating surface water. This ballasted sedimentation and rapid clarification water treatment process can be found effectively treating low turbidity mountain runoff, reservoirs with algae, waters with high total organic carbon content, softening, groundwater, flashy rivers and streams, brackish water and sea water. This high rate clarifier which utilizes ballast in combination with lamella to enhance settling and provide a compact and robust process that can meet all of your potable municipal drinking water treatment needs.

ACTIFLO® CARB process combines the benefits of microsand ballasted clarification with the adsorption capacities of Powder Activated Carbon (PAC). With the addition of a PAC contact tank and carbon recirculation, this sand ballasted PAC clarifier enhances organic removal (up to 50% more than coagulation and clarification alone) all while maximizing the use of the PAC adsorption sites before being wasted. This enables reduction in OPEX and is a proven technology for removal of organics contamination, algae and associated toxins, taste and odor, micropollutants, pesticides, and phosphorus for sustainable water treatment.

ACTIFLO® Softening process combines chemical precipitation (lime softening) and ballasted clarification for efficient ground/surface water softening. This high rate softening process aids in hardness and alkalinity reduction for water quality improvement. This manageable softening process is a proven technology for total hardness reduction (calcium hardness and magnesium hardness), silica removal, metals removal, and decarbonation. 

Actina™ is a pellet reactor process tailored to municipal drinking water softening. By producing a reusable calcium carbonate pellet as waste instead of difficult to dewater lime sludge or membrane brine, significant waste handling cost savings can be achieved.   Reducing calcium hardness allows  Actina™ to enhance the asset management of their distribution network while preventing negative impacts on the end users. This solution also allows a significant reduction of impacts on downstream on-site or centralized wastewater treatment. Reducing the number of individual, point-of-use softening devices will reduce the chloride loading on wastewater treatment systems.

The Dusenflo® gravity filter offers a unique, economical, adaptable and highly effective potable water filtration system that will provide consistent high quality, crystal clear potable water free from contaminants. From basic manual controls to the most sophisticated programmable logic controllers, Veolia provides the appropriate controls for your water system.

The Multiflo® is a universal lamella clarifier highly effective on difficult to clarify waters and is easy to install and operate. With more than 500 installations worldwide, the Multiflo brings savings on investment and operation costs.

The Pentair X-Flow®  Ultrafiltration Membranes produce potable municipal tap water that meets the highest standards for turbidity and microbiology.

The rapid flotation technology Spidflow®  for medium, large and extra-large water treatment plants is a simple, reliable and compact solution to treat drinking water, lake or dam water from natural organic matter and algae blooms.

HOLLISTER URBAN AREA'S ALTERNATIVE APPROACH TO MEETING GROWING DRINKING WATER DEMAND

Facing an increasing demand on Drinking Water versus groundwater, the San Benito County Water District, in a joint effort with Sunnyslope County Water District, turned to local reservoirs as alternative water supply to reduce the impact on the local groundwater basins as well as the hardness and scaling challenges that are common with groundwater.

 

 

 

 

REMOVING HARDNESS AND ALKALINITY FROM GROUNDWATER

A pilot study was conducted to demonstrate the ACTIFLO® Softening process in the removal of total hardness and alkalinity from the Okeechobee plant’s groundwater source.
