Idroconsult S.r.l. products

Ever since it was established Idroconsult has manufactured civil waste water conditioning systems, acquiring outstanding experience in all the technologies applied in the specific sector. It boasts many plants installed in housing estates, camp sites and town centres. In town centres the company has concentrated especially in those counting up to 30.000 residents.

The range of plants includes chemical-physical plants and biological plants, single oxidation stage and double oxidation stage. If requested, Idroconsult can install in its plants a remote control and monitoring system.

The company boasts many references in the treatment of wastewater from hospitals.

Idroconsult has developed and acquired deeper skill in various sectors, thus enabling the company to expand the range and typology of systems produced. Thanks to thirty years of experience in the plant-engineering field, Idroconsult can also accomplish extremely customised solutions, facilitating their clients even the most complex or articulated situations.

The Iron is one of the most difficult contaminants to remove because it may change the valence state. When oxygen or an oxidizing agent is introduced, iron precipitates, leading to a rusty appearance in water. Iron can create havoc with valves, plumbing, water treatment equipment and water using devices (like car wash systems). Certain bacteria forms with iron a rusty, gelatinous sludge that can plug the water pipes.

The salts of calcium, magnesium, iron, silica, manganese, barium, chlorides, in combination with carbonates, bicarbonates and sulphates are present in the water pumped from the wells, in increasing amounts. That causes fouling, scaling in the cooling circuits, reduces the heat transfer in the steam generators, causing pollution in groundwater. Based on molecular separation, Reverse Osmosis process allows to obtain the purest water, eliminating up to 99.5% of the water salt content. The Reverse Osmosis Process is far superior to the resin demineralization process, for steam boilers application.

Idroconsult has produced many systems aimed at supplying drinking water for human use. Water supply problems lead to the exploitation of strata which, in terms of quantity and quality, present concentrations of salts that are not suitable for human consumption. The solutions that the company may adopt depend on the type of water involved and globally cover all treatment technologies.

Idroconsult can provide its drinkable water production plants as containerized units. The plant with this type of arrangement includes artificial lighting, artificial ventilation, fast electrical and hydraulical connections for easy installation. Upon request it is possible to provide the system with cooling unit and thermal insulation for its walls. The containerized unit can be provided with a RINA certification for shipping transport, too.

This technology is winning great market success thanks to its economic price and to its ease of cleaning. The typology most adopted by Idroconsult is that with hollow fibres. The chemical inertia remains high, as the materials utilised are mainly PP and PE. This is the most suitable choice for high treatment capacities. The system generally used by our company entails the use of ultra-filtration membranes with hollow fibres, which are immersed in the water to be treated. These membranes, which look like very thin tubes, are arranged in bundles and bound at the ends. They are quite flexible, which helps when washing them. The material treated by the membranes is indeed removed on a periodic basis by shaking the actual membranes. This is done by regularly blowing air into the tank through submersed diffusers. They may also be counter-washed in counter-current by means of a pump. Their composing material (polypropylene) enables them to twist without consequent damage.
