Project title:        Roughing Filters

Customer :          United Utilities

Industry:              Waste Water Industry           

Description:

The roughing or high rate filters are positioned in the Primary Treatment stage of waste water treatment. Effluent from the Preliminary treatment stage is pumped into a distribution tank situated above the roughing filter. The liquor, at an average rate of 3150 cubic metres / day, is then spread evenly over the filter area  by way of the UPVC distribution manifold  thus producing efficient filter performance.

Main benefits.

• Easy system to operate by means of access walkways

• Maintenance is made easy by the installation of isolation valves and numerous rodding points.

• Even distribution of liquor over the filter area resulting in maximum performance of the filter area.

The project involved the following disciplines:

• Specification

• Draughting and documentation

• Mechanical

• Pipework
