Actiflo™
Actiflo® Softening
Designed to further enhance water quality, Actiflo® Softening combines in a single compact treatment unit both clarification and softening operations to remove constituents such as calcium, silica, heavy metals, fluorides, suspended solids, while improving properties such as alkalinity, hardness and turbidity.
Applications
Rapid and efficient, Actiflo® Softening produces very high quality water for both industrial and municipal applications.
Actiflo® Softening major benefits
- Very small system footprint: Actiflo® Softening is up to 10 times smaller than conventional softening processes
- High rise rate: up to 120 m/h
- Easy start-up: within few minutes
- Can be easily implemented into existing tanks
- Enhanced chemical precipitation with TurbomixTM reaction tank
- Minimises coagulant demands
- The produced sludge can be easily thickened and dewatered
- The process can be fully automated and implemented into existing plants
