Dessel, Belgium -- PuriTech Ltd together with its United Kingdom based representative ACWa Services have finished commissioning of the biggest Nitrate removal project Keldgate WTW in the United Kingdom.
PuriTech Ltd was contracted to design, fabricate and test 3 IONEX Nitrate removal valves nozzle size: 3" ( DN80). The valve material Polypropylene has been lab tested and received WRAS approval for the use in potable water applications.
The Nitrate removal process pattern was machined into these PP-blocks. Stainless steel 316L top and bottom reinforcement plates provided the mechanical strength to the plastic plates at the top and bottom of the process valves. 2 Bauer BF50 gearboxes mounted on the valves with an internal drive mechanism created a torque of 24000 Nm to index the process disk inside the process valve.
Each process valve is capable of distributing 700 m³/h nitrate loaded potable water. All 3 valves in operation will have a total treatment capacity of 2100 m³/h, to reduce the nitrate level of 65 ppm to levels below 5 ppm. The waste produced will be less than 0.5% of the treated flow.
PuriTechs patented IONEX process valves are used in a wide variety of applications such as:
Water treatment Nitrate removal; Arsenic removal; water softening; water demineralization
Sugar color removal or deashing
Mine water treatment
Citric Acid and Amino Acid production
Recovery of catalyst and other precious metals
PuriTech has built 41 process valves in a wide variety of applications.
PuriTech was founded in 1996. From the outset our Company has specialized in providing process engineering, design, procurement and project management expertise to a diverse range of industries. We have focussed on liquid treatment installations incorporating ion exchange technology utilizing our patented and revolutionary IONEX system.
