Drinking water treatment systems in container installation

In the field of drinking water purfication Atec focusses on compact plants which are pre-installed inside a container. In general we are using standard 20 or 40 ft shipping containers. The containerized plants are designed for each customer individually, so that there can be offered plants with any desired capacity and different equipment and features. Plants can consist of just one single container or several identical or different containers.

Used technologies

In general the reliable and proven filtration technology by Atec is the center of the treatment process. As well as in other fields, also in drinking water treatment ceramic membranes for ultrafiltration are increasingly used. Both the cross flow filtration principle and submerged membranes can be used. Besides micro and ultrafiltration the containers can be equipped with several other water treatment technolgies:

  • Chemical pretreatment by precipitation, flocculation, oxidation, etc.
  • Disinfection of the treated water (UV, chlorine dioxide, ozone, etc.)
  • Removal of heavy metals and othe contaminants (lead, arsenic, boron, etc.)
  • Softening or demineralization (ion exchange, reverse osmosis)
  • Removal of iron / manganese

Advantages of containerized drinking water treatment systems

  • Plants are pre-installed and tested by Atec
  • Fast and cost saving installation
  • Very compact and space saving design
  • Plants are modular and easy to expand in capacity
  • Flexible equipment of the containers with any kind of treatment technology
  • Great solution even for existing plants (e.g. to expand treatment capacity)
