New generation of mobile drinking water treatment
09.05.2012 at IFAT: Handover of eight plants to units of the
Federal Agency
for Technical Relief (THW)
(> Information in deutscher Sprache)
09.05.2012 + + + The expert teams of the Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW) that specialise in drinking water treatment received at the IFAT during a symbolic handover eight new Berkefeld TWA 15 UF type mobile plants. The modular designed systems encompass various state-of-the-art process technologies, including a ceramic ultrafiltration (UF). The plants comply with the requirements of the German Drinking Water Regulation, and are favoured by municipalities in Germany for use when the local water supply is temporarily not available. The plants are also suitable for use in international crisis areas. The UF module can be seen at the fair stand of Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies in Hall A3, and at the THW stand on the open-air site F6 a complete plant is set up ready for operation.

Depending on the combination of the process steps, a TWA 15 UF system provides up to 15m3/hour of clean drinking water to supply up to about 2,400 inhabitants if the water is fed into the grid, or about 18,000 if it is distributed in canisters. The plant’s core component is a highly-effective CeraMem® ceramic ultrafiltration membrane with a pore width of 0.1 µm by which viruses and germs are reliably removed from the water. The ceramic membrane is structured as a monolith block and therefore is especially stable. In addition, disinfection with ultraviolet light and chlorination ensures a safe drinking water quality. Upstream area coagulation and adsorption unit as well as pre-filtration with automatically back-washable discfilters. The system also includes a storage unit for 40m3 of drinking water and a distribution and sludge disposal module. Due to the modular concept, these water treatment plants can be transported to the action site in commercial aircraft and trucks, erected without great effort and quickly put into operation. The predominantly automatic control and the reduced need for chemicals ease the efforts of the aid workers on-site.
