Phosphorus removal demo

Water industry equipment supplier Eliquo Hydrok recently approached Severn Trent Water and NMC Nomenca to request a site visit at the Slade Hooton STW. This was to demonstrate an Eliquo Hydrok Mecana Filter installation to Yorkshire Water and its supply chain.

Severn Trent Water and NMC Nomenca are said to be leading the way with new low phosphorus schemes and Slade Hooton STW was selected – this being one of the first low phosphorus schemes with dual stream filters and single flash/Floc mixing chambers that has been installed in the region.

The visiting delegation were shown the Mecana Tertiary Filtration technology for low phosphorus removal, as well as the manufacturing of the infrastructure and the installation of the plant. The event offered an insight into the Eliquo Hydrok – Mecana technology for the removal of phosphorus within the wastewater treatment process.

Attendee comments included: “Many of the design issues we are facing have already been thought about and solved by NMCN” and ” The access steelwork was excellent quality”
