Hydroclone Seperators

Hydrocyclone separators are a device to classify, separate or sort particles in a liquid suspension based on the ratio of their centripetal force to fluid resistance. This ratio is high for dense (where separation by density is required)...

Hydrocyclone Systems

Hydrocyclone systems is a static device that applies centrifugal force to a liquid mixture so as to promote the separation of heavy and light components. In Hydrocyclones, also known as liquid cyclones, the principle employed is centrifug...

Incinerators for Water Treatment

Incinerators for water treatment is a thermal waste treatment process involving combustion of organics in waste materials. Incineration of waste materials converts the waste into ash, flue gas, and heat. The ash is mostly formed by th...

Induced Gas Flotation Separator (IGF)

A schematic of Induced Gas Floatation Separator Induced gas flotation, or IGF, is a water treatment process that clarifies wastewaters (or other waters) by the removal of suspended matter such as oil or solids. The removal is achieved by i...

Kidney Dialysis

Kidney dialysis and water purity are of critical importance for patient health and outcome, and in this regard, there are three major points to consider: 1) Hemodialysis (HD) patients are exposed to more than 400 L of water per week. Contra...

Lamella Clarifiers Package

DA lamella clarifiers are a water treatment process that features a core of inclined metal plates, which cause flocculated material to precipitate from water that flows across the plates, thus “clarifying” the water. Actually, it is use...

Limestone Contactor

Here’s some information about limestone contactors. The lack of dissolved minerals in the high purity waters produced by desalination processes raises some problems. High purity water tends to be highly reactive and unless treated, it...
