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.
