Veolia debuts self-cleaning filter

VEOLIA Water Technologies globally launched the Hydrotech Discfilter™ HSF2200-1C compact unit at Power-Gen Asia 2015.  The mechanical and self-cleaning filter offers a large filter area in a small footprint.  The company is also showcasing the Actiflo^® Turbo clarifier which has enabled power manufacturers to successfully mitigate water challenges.

Bill Willersdorf, Global Market Director, Power, Veolia Water Technologies, shares, “Progressively, manufacturers are imposed with more stringent environmental regulations. But with Veolia, our partners can be assured of staying on top of their game, as our solutions exceed even the most rigorous quality and environmental standards required by the power industry. We are continuously pushing technological boundaries to create more value for our clients. Flexibility is a strong highlight for the new Discfilter, allowing replacements and changes to the filter panels to be carried out seamlessly.”

Hydrotech Discfilter™ HSF2200-1C compact unit

Suitable for small to medium-sized projects, the new Hydrotech Discfilter™ HSF2200-1C can is an automatic, self-cleaning filter equipped with self-cleaning nozzles that eliminate the need for a backwash strainer. Compared to its predecessor, it can withstand a higher differential pressure. Its filter space can accommodate up to 12 discs.

The compact unit boasts a maximum capacity set at 200 l/s, representing 10-15% additional filtration capacity while occupying a 20% smaller footprint – making it the choice filter system for retrofitting purposes. In the long run, users can expect lower investment cost and total ownership cost, as well as minimized maintenance and flexibility in construction materials.

Actiflo^® Turbo

The Actiflo^® Turbo clarifier has garnered positive references in the power industry for the pre-treatment of makeup water, cold lime softening, and side stream filtration. It is a high rate clarifier exclusively developed and patented by Veolia. With over 900 global references, it is an ideal solution for recycling process water and pre-treating boiler feed or water within a power plant cooling tower, the company said. Compared to conventional clarifiers, Actiflo has a small footprint and can be used for process water production, wastewater treatment, reuse and recycling, and storm water run-off treatment.

Aaron Seah, Regional Market Manager, Heavy Industries at Veolia Water Technologies. “As a leading water and wastewater solutions provider for the industry, Veolia sets high standards for its proprietary solutions. We offer the best possible turnkey and standardized solutions for high and small capacity power plants, and the positive references we’ve accumulated in this field speak highly of our capabilities. Veolia is confident of helping businesses strive towards sustainable growth.”
