ACTIFLO® HCS
ACTIFLO® HCS
Designed to reduce the amount of sludge produced and related water losses, Actiflo® HCS (for High Concentration Sludge) is an Actiflo system equipped with an outside recycling loop.
ACTIFLO® HCS’ principal feature is that it comes with a
specific hydrocylone* and an external recirculation loop.
After settling, the sludge/microsand mixture is pumped to the hydrocyclone
where the microsand is thoroughly washed before being injected back into the
flocculation tank. The flow of sludge is
directed in part towards the recirculation loop with the other part being
discharged. Thanks to a fine regulation system, Actiflo HCS reduces the amount
of sludge produced by 2 to 3 times, while still maintaining a high
clarification level.
BENEFITS
- A 50 – 80% reduction in sludge volume
- Water losses reduced to under 0.5%
- A reduction (in size and number) of the facilities used to treat dirty water/sludge from the Actiflo
- Easy to implement in refurbishing projects
APPLICATIONS
ACTIFLO® HCS is applicable to several industrial and municipal situations.
Municipal applications
- Treatment of river water and turbidity peaks
Industrial applications
- Effluents treatment
- Process water production
