Quilton - Pretreatment Compact Plant - Brochure

Prior to the actual treatment process itself, raw waters generally undergo a pre-treatment that involves a series of physical and mechanical steps designed to decant from the wastewater the largest possible amount of materials whose nature or size would cause problems in subsequent treatment processes. The problems associated with the deficient quality of the raw water (septicity, large variations in flow and/or load, industrial discharges, etc.) inform the need for the pre-treatment to include other mechanical or chemical steps designed to improve the quality of those waters to ensure a better performance by downstream processes or avoid environmental issues. The use of a pretreatment compact plant in small premises may be the most versatile solution and significantly reduce the building work required.
