1. Initial Situation – Water Treatment Plant
The original plant was built in the 1980s–1990s and designed for a capacity of 280 l/s with the option to double this capacity. Despite this design, modernization was required to comply with current European regulations and ensure high-quality drinking water for thousands of regional residents.
2. Technological Solution Delivered by ENVITES
ENVITES participated in the modernization process and delivered key technologies for water pre-treatment and sludge management:
A. Water Flocculation and Clarification
- Equipment: Two lamella settling tanks were implemented for water clarification.
- Function: Efficient separation of suspended solids and high performance in water purification.
B. Sludge Thickening
- Equipment: Installation of two sludge thickeners.
- Function: Minimization of sludge volume before dewatering.
C. Sludge Dewatering
- Equipment: A modern filter press for sludge dewatering.
- Function: Effective sludge dewatering and transfer of dewatered sludge via a screw conveyor into a container for subsequent disposal.
3. Results of the Modernization
- Improved Operation: The integration of new technologies enhanced the overall performance of the drinking water treatment plant and ensured consistent water quality.
- Sustainable Water Management: The modernization contributed to more sustainable use of water resources.
- Compliance with European Standards: The clarification and sludge treatment systems now fully comply with strict European water quality regulations.
