Drinking Water Supply
Bank filtration
Water and Wastewater
Water obtained from wells adjacent to lakes and rivers is called bank filtration. The flowing water constantly seeps through the riverbed and mixes with the ground water. The level of water must be co...
Chemical tank
Water and Wastewater
Chemical tanks guarantee the supply of raw materials for ongoing processes. The plant operator needs exact level readings from the containers at all times to be able to ensure punctual replenishment....
Deep well
Water and Wastewater
Ground water from deep wells is pumped to the surface with the help of submersible pumps. It must be ensured, however, that the amount of water extracted is balanced to the amount that seeps back in....
Drinking water pipeline
Water and Wastewater
To transport drinking water even to the remotest drinking water storage facilities, pumping stations generate the required water pressure, which is constantly monitored by a pressure transmitter. A le...
Elevated storage tanks
Water and Wastewater
Elevated water tanks are reservoirs located at high places that act as a buffer during periods of peak demand. They compensate for delivery fluctuations and enable efficient plant operation. Reliable...
Evaporation chamber
Water and Wastewater
In thermal seawater desalination, the drinking water is produced in multi-stage evaporation processes. By connecting the various stages in series with ever lower temperatures, the system’s coefficient...
Filter monitoring
Water and Wastewater
The raw water is pumped from the lake into a tank. It is then filtered via a drum filter. In this process the water is separated and purified from any suspended matter and coarse impurities. An electr...
Flotation
Water and Wastewater
To filter suspended matter out of the water, precipitants are added to the water. When small air bubbles are injected into the liquid, suspended matter is bound to the rising bubbles and drawn off at...
Gauging station
Water and Wastewater
Precise monitoring of the river level is an important requirement for sustainable extraction of river water for use as drinking water. The measurement sites are often in exposed locations and sensor...
Gravel bed filter
Water and Wastewater
The suspended matter is filtered out of the water via the sand and gravel filled filter tank. Pressure is applied to pump water through the filter bed. Dirt particles are retained in the filter materi...
Intermediate bulk containers
Water and Wastewater
In many processes, small amounts of various additives are required to improve the properties of certain end products. The media are supplied in small, transportable containers. Level measurement ensur...
Mineralisation tank
Water and Wastewater
Various methods are used to replenish the demineralised water with the minerals required in healthy drinking water. One method is to pass the water through a container filled with limestone, enriching...
Osmosis filter
Water and Wastewater
Sea water is pressed through a semi-permeable membrane under high pressure. The semi-permeable membrane allows only water molecules to seep through. Salts, bacteria and viruses are retained in the fil...
Ozone gas collection pipe
Water and Wastewater
Ozone is used for the disinfection of drinking water. It is produced from oxygen in a hyperbaric reactor by means of electrical energy. The gas produced then flows into the ozone gas collection pipe....
Pure water tank
Water and Wastewater
Pure water tanks are important storage facilities for periods of peak demand. They compensate for delivery fluctuations and enable efficient plant operation. The pure water tank is therefore not only...
Reverse osmosis
Water and Wastewater
The seawater is forced through a semi-permeable diaphragm under high pressure. Only pure water molecules can pass through. Salts, bacteria and viruses are retained in the filter. The resulting water i...
Seawater extraction
Water and Wastewater
The seawater is fed into large buffer basins for further processing, sometimes these can be several hundred metres from the coast. Level measurement in the basins controls the extraction pumps and thu...
Storage tank for flocculant
Water and Wastewater
The finest impurities in the water are bound together through flocculation. This allows the coagulated materials to be removed from the water by sedimentation or filtration. The flocculant required fo...
Surge tank
Water and Wastewater
In the central drinking water supply system, air-bladder chambers are used to compensate for pressure fluctuations in the supply line. They are used primarily to stabilize smaller water networks, wher...
Ultrafiltration
Water and Wastewater
During seawater desalination, substances often have to be removed or separated from each other. One method for separation or precipitation is filtration. Superior product quality results only when the...
Water source
Water and Wastewater
Spring water originates from surface water, which passes down through layers of porous rock on its way down into the earth. It then flows horizontally along a layer of clay or rock and thus forms a sp...
Water storage tanks
Water and Wastewater
Water storage tanks are especially important in times of peak demand. They compensate for delivery fluctuations and enable efficient plant operation. The water storage tanks are therefore not just sto...
Water supply dam
Water and Wastewater
To operate drinking water storage reliably, precise information about the water level of the inflow as well as the dam itself is required. The level of water in the dam can be continuously monitored b...
Water tower
Water and Wastewater
Water towers are used as storage facilities for drinking water and as pressure balancing tanks in the network of water supply pipelines. In order to keep the water level and thus the network pressure...
