    ACTIFLO is a very compact process that utilises microsand as a seed for floc formation. The microsand provides surface area that enhances flocculation and also acts as a ballast or weight. The resulting microsand ballasted floc display unique settling characteristics, which allow for clarifier designs with high overflow rates and short retention times. The purpose of the project is to prevent Cryptosporidium, reduce the levels of manganese in the final water and improve the

    MUNICIPAL, DRINKING WATER CLARIFICATION ACTIFLO: sand ballasted clarification from municipal water treatment
    PROJECT OVERVIEW THE CLIENT United Utilities are the 2 largest water company in England / Wales. They are responsible for an area in the north west of the UK, which includes major Cities such as Manchester and Liverpool. Area served: 15,378km Population served: 6.6m THE WORKS Ulpha WTW is located near Millom in Cumbria in the Lake District National Park and it supplies 30,000 people in the greater Barrow-in-Furness area.

    Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies provided the process design, construction, installation, testing and commissioning of 3 Actiflo High Rate Clarifiers and 2 Multiflo for backwash water recovery. The project included sand storage, make up, transfer and recovery system, polymer make up and dosing system, MCC and software for the above systems. The purpose of the project is to prevent Cryptosporidium, reduce the levels of manganese in the final water and improve the disinfection system by reducing TOC content.

    PILOT TRIALS In order to provide confidence to the potential Client, VWS installed and operated for a 10 months period in 1999 - 2000 a 200 m3/hr pilot plant at Watchgate WTW. The pilot plant provided data for Actiflo performance and subsequent sand filtration. Based on these results UU specified Actiflo for clarification at Ulpha WTW.

    THE ACTIFLO PROCESS Actiflo is a very compact process that utilises microsand as a seed for floc formation. The microsand provides surface area that enhances flocculation and also acts as a ballast or weight. The resulting microsand ballasted floc display unique settling characteristics, which allow for clarifier designs with high overflow rates and short retention times. These designs result in system footprints that are between 5 times smaller than classic lamella clarifier or dissolved air flottation and up to 20 times smaller than conventional clarification systems of similar capacity, with an ability to start up from a standby mode of operation to a steady state operating mode within minutes.
