DWI R31 compliant skid mounted water treatment filtration system meets the turbidity challenge set by ageing conventional borehole stations.   Amazon Filters skid mounted or containerised filtration solutions can be deployed quickly off the shelf or custom manufactured for more challenging installations such as the requirements at these two old stations. What Challenges Arise with Ageing Water Treatment Buildings?   1925 GWS Building (A) A ‘conventional’ borehole station constructed around 1925 with the kind of …

In this article we look at how iron affects water quality and the different methods available for removing iron from groundwater. Iron, which is naturally present in rock and soil, is easily dissolved in water. As a result of this, water sourced from boreholes, otherwise known as groundwater can have excess iron present. Iron in Groundwater When groundwater contains oxidised iron it is often evident due to the certain brownish colour present, however, it commonly exists …

  Cryptosporidium oocyst are typically between 3µm and 6µm in size. Common sense would suggest that a 1µm rated filter would filter out all cryptosporidium oocysts from the source – since they’re larger than the filter’s pore size – providing clean, potable water at the outlet. However, that unfortunately is not the case. What does the 1µm rating mean? It is a popular misconception that the filters are rated by measuring the size of the …

Turbidity is one of the critical measures of water quality and is used by both water supply companies and industry regulators to ensure the water clarity is acceptable to the consumers. European Water Quality Directives, the World Health Organisation and the Drinking Water Inspectorate in the UK specify what is required to ensure the water supplied is ‘wholesome’ and turbidity limits are typically set at <1 NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) and often set at <0.5NTU …
