A miad Water Systems UK, in conjunction with partner Water Technolo- gies, has been working with an Irish-based drinking water dis- tribution provider to install two complete containerised water filtration systems using the recently performance-enhanced Amiad AMF microfibre water fil- tration technology. These water filtration con- tainers are designed for filtering water from various sources to potable water quality. All com- ponents are installed inside a standard container for easy mobility between installation sites. In order to operate the sys- tem, the user only needs to con- nect the container to a pressur- ised water and electricity source and the potable water network. In general, the system is a two-stage filtration system where the first stage consists of an 8" 200 microns motorised brush-away filter and the second stage is a micro-fibre 8" 2 microns AMF² 370K filter. The AMF technology is used extensively as a Crypto barrier in the UK by many municipal water companies. In Europe, it has become common to see municipal water companies installing a two-stage barrier system to provide protection. The improvements to this AMF technology has enabled Amiad to produce a cassette providing a reliable three log reduction. The AMF systems also sit well alongside high intensity UV supporting UVT by reducing turbidity as well as providing a secondary Crypto barrier. Introducing a new plant to a process means interfacing with existing site BMS / Scada systems. This is always a pre- requisite of either static or mobile filtration plants and the AMFs technology is designed with this in mind. The AMF can be configured as a duty / slave / multi-slave, so any flow can be accommo- dated by what effectively is a modular system that can be integrated by a simple plug in interconnection. The equipment is DWI, NSF compliant and supported The challenge: Drinking water contamination INSIGHT Standard containers comprising AMF microfibre water filtration can provide a secondary barrier to the Crypto bug. A solution: Containerised water filtration globally by either Amiad subsidiary companies directly or its partners in more than 80 countries worldwide. Packages can be container- ised quite easily incorporating pre-filtration as well as inte- grated backwash systems. Tur- bidity and flow measurement can be incorporated, meaning the filtration units can be deployed quickly in the event of a specific problem no matter how remote the site. The plant can be operated from a locally generated energy source if required. The con- tainer also contains the neces- sary accessories for operation including electrical and sole- noids control boards, PLC with HMI screens, AMF² auxiliary system for back-flushing, con- tainer heating system and flood alarm. The AMF technology is also compact – a single unit can be installed in a 20˜ container and a duplex system in a 40˜ standard container, making it suitable for integrated drinking water system providers who ship worldwide. The AMF systems sit well alongside high intensity UV supporting UVT by reducing turbidity, as well as providing a secondary Crypto barrier SEPTEMBER 2016 WET NEWS 21 SUPPORTED BY CREATING AND SECURING FRESH BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES IN THE wATER INDUSTRY The annual WET News Water Industry Supplier Conference is the only event tailored to the supply chain and its demands, providing fresh engagement in an honest and productive forum.
