Solvay사와 국제 화학 그룹은 기존 정화기·증점제에서 강물여과 처리를 위해 Neptune Benson사의 H2F Vortisand®Cross-Flow Microsand Submicron 여과 시스템을 도입, 산업 및 도시공간에 물과 관련된 엔지니어링 제품을 제공하는 등 실행이 가능한 해결책을 세웠다.

 

Solvay사의 여과 계획목표는 물의 제조공정에서 발생하는 부유고형물을 감소시키는 것으로, Neptune Benson사는 업계의 다른 주요 회사들과 함께 기술의 여과 효율성 및 필요 공간, 자본 비용 등을 비교하는 프로젝트 입찰 경쟁을 펼친 바 있다.

 

 

 

In an effort to polish treated river water out of an existing clarifier/thickener, Solvay, an international chemical group, selected the H2F Vortisand® Cross-Flow Microsand Submicron Filtration System from Neptune Benson, a supplier of engineered products serving the aquatics, industrial and municipal markets, as a viable solution.

 

The goal of Solvay's filtration challenge was to reduce total suspended solids in order for the water to be used for manufacturing processes. Likewise, Neptune Benson was invited to bid on the project, along with other major players in the industry, and technologies were compared on filtration efficiency, required footprint and capital cost.

 

Neptune Benson proposed four H2F-600 filters to meet the filtration needs of the plant under varying operating conditions. The filters serve as high-capacity, high-flow automatic backwashable media filters that combine cross-flow dynamics with microsand media to achieve submicron filtration at fast speeds. The flexibility and modular design of the H2F eliminated the need for a clear well for backwash purposes, resulting in less capital investment and reducing water consumption.

 

Due to tight space requirements, the design and engineering team decided that an inline configuration within a 40-foot, custom-designed container would be an ideal solution to house the equipment. The units will be fully pre-assembled, minimizing the installation cost and eliminating the need for an expensive new building.
