Primary Brine Purification Process Plant – 4.2MLD

Problem Statement
Our client’s agricultural division had been having a problem with the quality of the water produced by its processes. The water quality was not meeting the municipal discharge specifications, therefore they contacted Watericon to seek a solution. When the water was tested it was found to contain Manganese, Fluoride, and Iron, there was also a problem with the colour of the water, turbidity as well as COD levels.
Solution
In order to treat the water, the Watericon engineers designed a Wastewater Treatment Plant consisting of chemical pre-treatment, followed by primary slow dual-media and secondary slow activated carbon filtration complete with chemical dosing for the addition of chemicals at certain pre-determined stages of the treatment process.

Typical Plant Feed
- Municipal tap water

Performance Target
- Turbidity removal – 98.4 %,
- COD removal – 80.2%
- Removal effeciencies – 96.4% and 93.7%

Process
- Raw water storage and pumping
- Reaction vessels
- Flocculation
- Settling
- Filtration
- Chemical dosing system

Innovation
These results prove that the processes designed by the Watericon engineers bring excellent and sustainable results.
