Temporary Water Treatment for Overflows
Whether a permanant system has planned maintenance or there is an increased demand due to rainfall during the winter period, a number of pump stations often become over whelmed with this increase of surface water infiltrating the sewage system. The same scenario can apply to pump stations built purely to operate when the sewer is surcharged once the sewer starts overflowing it goes into the pump station and then level control pumped directly into a water course.
Engineered Solutions for Plug & Play water treatment
To mitigate the risk of flooding and ensure environmental consent levels are met, Xylem work closely with many customers to offer a solution that is both cost effective and kind to the environment.
Xylem’s treatment rental solutions can adapt to fit the customer solution. Typically this would include:
- Pumping equipment to feed the desired flow to mitigate flooding
- Mobile screening plant to filter/remove the solids and dispense into a skip for disposal
- Washwater pumping system
- Intermediate pumps to forward the cleaned liquor through the UV unit
- Wedeco UV Reactor
- Generator to power the solution
- Control system to operate the solution
- Remote monitoring where required
Other methods to address this challenge can be considered such as using diesel pumps, settlement tanks and sacks offerings to filter the solids prior to discharging into the local water course. Many of these are not always deemed environmentally friendly and the risk of pollution can be seen as increasing which the regulatory environmental bodies can reject this approach.
