2.1 Core Pain Points

  • Seasonal Turbidity Fluctuation: Raw water turbidity reaches up to 15.1 NTU (exceeding the standard limit of 5.0 NTU), which challenges conventional treatment processes.
  • Microbial Contamination Risk: River water may contain bacteria, algae, and other microorganisms, requiring effective disinfection to meet hygienic standards.
  • Sludge Disposal Pressure: Large treatment capacity leads to significant sludge production, requiring efficient sludge dewatering and volume reduction solutions.
  • Stable Operation Demand: The project needs to maintain consistent water output and quality under varying raw water conditions.

2.2 Project Requirements

  • Strictly comply with PNSDW standards and full compliance with sensory and hygienic requirements.
  • Achieve high water recovery rate (≥98%) to reduce water waste.
  • Adopt full automatic control to save labor costs and ensure operational stability.
  • Balance initial investment (CAPEX) and operating costs (OPEX) with energy-efficient equipment.
  • Ensure equipment corrosion resistance and long service life under outdoor operating conditions.

6. Common Questions (FAQ)

6.1 Can the system maintain stable treatment effect for highly turbid river water?

Yes. The combination of pre-oxidation, coagulation-flocculation, and homogeneous media filtration effectively handles turbidity up to 20 NTU. The multi-stage filter and automatic backwash system ensure continuous and stable operation even in seasonal turbidity peaks.

6.2 What is the automation level of the system?

The system adopts PLC/SCADA full-automatic control, which can realize real-time monitoring of flow, pressure, turbidity, and residual chlorine. It supports remote operation and fault alarm, requiring only 1-2 operators for daily inspection, significantly reducing labor costs.

6.3 How energy-efficient is the 40,000m³/day system?

The system is equipped with variable frequency centrifugal pump and recycled backwash water. The specific energy consumption is about 0.3-0.5 kWh/m³, which is 15-20% lower than traditional water treatment systems.

6.4 What is the maintenance cycle of key equipment?

  • Filter media replacement: 2-3 years
  • Pump maintenance: 6-month routine inspection, 2-year major maintenance
  • UV lamp replacement: 12-18 months
  • Sensors calibration: Monthly routine calibration

6.5 Can the system be customized for different water treatment needs?

Yes. Hella Water provides customized solutions for industrial water filtration, agricultural water purification, commercial water filter, and household water purifier. The treatment capacity can be adjusted from 1m³/day to 100,000m³/day according to customer needs.
