WATER TREATMENT
change.
In a bid to woo the water industry, he has
commissioned two independent studies to
show how replacing sand in filter systems
with AFM can save money and improve water
quality. Although AFM costs roughly three
times as much as sand, Dryden argues it can
pay for itself in less than two years.
"We have commissioned a lifecycle cost
analysis to show that the additional cost can
be covered within 18 months."
Hydro Nation
Dryden has also been working in conjunction
with the Scottish Government - arguing that
adopting AFM as standard in water treatment
works could be a crucial part of the SNP's
dream for Scotland to become a Hydro Nation
- attracting new water-intensive industries
to the country by offering improved water
quality.
"Water is at the heart of many industries,
such as whisky, fish farming, the food industry
and the manufacture of semi-conductors.
"We have lots of water in Scotland but the
quality is falling behind many parts of Europe.
"If Scotland is to become a Hydro Nation my
hope is that the whole country will be using
u 18
AFM over the next five to six years."
