Colloide Engineering Systems products
Clarifier Systems
Clarifiers are settling tanks built for continuous removal of solids. Clarifiers are generally used to remove solid particulates or suspended solids from liquid for clarification and (or) thickening. We use lamella settlers within our clarifiers, which greatly increases the clarifier capacity and enables a much greater flow to be treated in the same footprint as conventional clarification. Our design also ensures maximum efficiency in terms of upward flow velocities.
Membrane Bioreactor (MBR)
Colloide’s submerged membrane bioreactor (‘MBR’) is the most technically advanced product in its field, giving unparalleled performance in wastewater treatment. It can be installed as part of a new build plant and integrated to upgrade existing plants, giving an excellent quality of effluent in a compact plant. The membranes are installed within or immediately after the aeration zone. This replaces the clarifier and other downstream equipment, while achieving a much better standard of treatment. At the heart of our system we use an ultrafiltration, back washable, flat sheet membrane. This membrane combines the advantages of classic plate and frame and hollow fibre modules without the disadvantages.
Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) System
Colloide’s high rate Dissolved Air flotation (‘DAF’) unit has been developed using the most advanced solids/liquid separation techniques available. The performance of our DAF unit is superior to that of similar or alternative technologies, both as a clarifier of primary or secondary effluent waters and as a thickener for biological sludge. The simplicity of the design of the AQUA-DAF system is at the core of its high operational reliability and its remarkable versatility. The circular low head geometry of the cell, innovative hydrodynamics of fluids entering and exiting the cell, and the proven efficiency of the floating sludge removal system all contribute to the excellent performance of our DAF system.
Activated Sludge Treatment System
Colloide has a range of solutions available for effluent treatment. The optimum solution is determined in each case based on parameters such as: existing plant size/capacity/condition; raw water quality; required final quality of treated effluent; space available; etc. Activated sludge treatment refers to a mass of microorganisms cultivated in the treatment process to break down organic matter into carbon dioxide, water and other inorganic compounds in sewage or industrial wastewater.
Control Systems
Colloide offer easy to use and easy to implement control solutions. We couple motor control centres to PLC/SCADA systems to give our customers what they want. Our success as a SCADA / PLC Solution provider lies in our ability to provide easy to use systems which are flexible, maintainable and offer a secure software platform.
Chemical Dosing
Colloide design and build customised chemical storage and dosing systems for a wide range of chemicals and applications. These packages are tailored to suit our clients’ requirements while adhering to European Standards, Ciria and HSE guidance. We engineer solutions to integrate into existing or new sites and can also provide packaged, standalone systems which are largely independent of the main plant. We provide solutions for chemicals such as sodium hydroxide, sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, ferric sulphate, aluminium sulphate, ferric chloride, antifoam, ortho-phosphoric acid, etc.
Dynamic Sand Filters
Colloide‘s Dynamic Sand Filter offers an excellent treatment system for the removal of solids and other contaminants from a water/wastewater stream. This filter is always on line, continually filtering the incoming water while continually backwashing a small portion of the sand bed. These filters can also be designed as Ammonia Removal filters, denitrifying filters and/or phosphorous filters. All wetted parts are in stainless steel AISI 304L. Special construction materials available upon request. Solutions for installation in a concrete basin of several basic filter inserts is available, as is that for single concrete filters of various sizes.
Pumping Station
Colloide designs and builds a variety of pumping systems for our clients, pumping anything from pure water through to heavy slurries. As a process engineering contractor, we will develop the package which is the best fit for the purpose. It will have one or more pumps at the core, but with ancillary equipment designed into the system.
