Xylem사가 포르투갈 산타 에우페미아 지자체 수처리 플랜트 업그레이드의 한 부분으로 54만5천 달러에 한외여과를 제공했다고 밝혔다.

Xylem은 프로젝트 EPC를 담당하는 Moinhos Ambiente사와 함께 작업하며, GE의 ZeeWeed 1500 멤브레인 모듈과 Lowara 펌프뿐만 아니라 프로세스·설계 지원까지 공급했다. 이 플랜트는 현재 유럽과 중동에서 가장 큰 규모로 ZeeWeed 1500 모듈을 설치한 곳 중 하나이다.

 

 

 

Water technology firm, Xylem, has provided ultrafiltration as part of an upgrade of Portugal's Santa Eufemia municipal water treatment plant, in a $545,000. 

 

 Xylem worked with the company leading the engineering, procurement and construction for the project, Moinhos Ambiente, to provide GE's ZeeWeed 1500 membrane modules and Lowara pumps, as well as process and design engineering support. The plant is now one of the largest installation of ZeeWeed 1500 modules in Europe and the Middle East.

 

The upgrade lifts the plant's capacity to 24 Ml/d, providing clean drinking water to 80,000 people in the Guimaraes and Vizela regions north of the capital, Porto. It treats water from the nearby Rio Ave river.

 

The 30-year-old plant is operated by the region's municipal water management authority, Vimagua, which commissioned the upgrade to addressed the deteriorating water quality from the river.

 

Alberto Moinhos, General Manager of Moinhos Ambiente, said, "Xylem's proven expertise in water treatment, as well as local knowledge" made the company "a natural fit to work on the Santa Eufemia plant upgrade".

 

The ultrafiltration system provided by Xylem comprised four parallel membrane trains each incorporating 88 membrane modules. This ensures full system capacity and as it is fully automated, minimises operator intervention.

Xylem has been a distribution partner for GE's advanced membrane filtration products since November 2011.
