필터시스템 제조업체인 Wigen Water Technologies가 산타 바바라시의 El Estero 하수처리 공장에 북미 최초로 한외여과(ultrafiltration, UF)를 지원하는 계약을 체결했다.

Wigen의 15 Ml/d 스펙트럼 시리즈 국제규격 래크시스템은 산타 바바라의 식수 공급에 대한 요구를 줄이기 위해 식수 외의 적용에 대해 물 재사용에 사용될 계획이다.

El Estero 프로젝트의 설계 엔지니어인 CDM Smith는 Wigen 시스템으로 공장은 세 가지 다른 정밀여과나 UF 모듈을 사용할 수 있게 된다고 명시했다.

 

 

 

Filtration system manufacturer, Wigen Water Technologies, has won a contract to supply ultrafiltration (UF) systems for the City of Santa Barbara's El Estero wastewater treatment plant in a North American first.

 

Wigen's 15 Ml/d Spectrum Series universal rack system will be used in recycling water for non-potable applications to reduce demand on the Santa Barbara's drinking water supplies. Design engineer for the El Estero project, CDM Smith, specified the Wigen system to enable the plant to use three different microfiltration or UF modules so the city will not be locked into one supplier for the life of the treatment plant. This is the first large-scale system to be built in North America.

 

Santa Barbara's universal UF racks will be supplied with Dow IntegraFlo UF modules but are designed to also accommodate Toray and Hydranautics modules. The plant is scheduled to start up in summer, 2015. "The price of the Spectrum UF racks is very competitive with traditional proprietary systems, "said president of Wigen Water Technologies, Jeff Wigen. The Spectrum series was launched last year and accommodates at least five different UF modules said Wigen.

 

The Spectrum UF rack system is designed so that spool pieces can be interchanged on the header system to accommodate different size membrane modules, varying port locations and connection sizes.
