Producing drinking water for
1000 to 150 000 inhabitants
Coagulation-Flocculation
After a coagulant is applied,
the raw water flows into a
flocculation chamber to
increase the size and cohe-
sion of the floc.
Settling
A clarifier equipped with
lamellar modules is used to
accelerate the separation of
the floc. The sludge stored in
the lower position of the
separator is withdrawn auto-
matically at regular intervals.
Water is transferred from the
flocculation compartment to
the settling tank via a stilling
chamber located beneath the
lamellar modules.
Settled water is collected in
the settling tank overflow and
pumped to the filters.
Pressure filtration
Inside the filters, water is dis-
tributed above the filter
medium and flows down
through the sand, which traps
the suspended solids.
Nozzles fitted on the filter
floor collect the water evenly
then discharge it directly
toward the treated water
tank, following application of
a disinfection agent.
Water and air scour
Backwashing uses filtered
water from the operating fil-
ter, coupled with air scour.
This design:
- cleans the filter medium
thoroughly
- minimizes the duration of
the backwash cycle
- eliminated the need for a
washwater tank and pump.

INSTALLATION
The civil works required for installation are confined to a concrete slab and drainage pipe connected to the
sewer.
The plant can be installed quickly; utilities and hydraulic connections are completed no time.
Our personnel is available to handle the complete installation and start-up procedure.
OPERATION
Designed with flexibility of operation in mind, the U.C.D. can be shut down for several hours with no special
precautions. It can also switch on or off automatically in response to fluctuations in demand.
Operating procedures are streamlined; the standardized design permits use of standard equipment, thereby
limiting spare parts inventory.
