Advantages

• Flexible & Robust :

• treats water with temperature >3°C
• best solution for low turbidity / high algae
raw water
• adapts to occasional peaks of TSS or
Turbidity upto 200 NTU.
• Cost effective :
• Reduction in the time required for the
response to 5 min
• Decrease the size of footprint while
retaining its performance.

• Easy to operate :
• Easy to operate and maintain (very few
mechanicals, no lamella modules, no
clogging)
• No need to add material to weigh down the
flocs.
• Instantaneous Start and Stop.
