UK water treatment works solves pesticide overload

摘要

When a water treatment facility in Northern England faced a spike in pesticide concentration exceeding the allowable limit for incoming water, the site was forced to shut down. The company then had to divert water from a regional water treatment facility in order to provide clean drinking water to its customers until the problem could be solved. The solution arrived in the form of a mobile, vehicle-mounted carbon dosing system, housed in a 6-meter long steel shipping container that was delivered and activated within one day, without costly and time-consuming site preparation, construction, or complex components. Supplied by Transvac Systems Ltd., the TransPAC mobile powder handling and carbon dosing system includes a bulk bag discharger and two flexible screw conveyors from Flexicon Europe Ltd. and Transvac's ejector system for mixing and injecting a slurry of PAC (powdered activated carbon) into the municipal water stream.
