AZUD HELIX AUTOMATIC equipment for maximum safety in waters with high organic loads

The Northen Cape province is a very dry area, where the main source of water comes from the Orange River. The Orange River has very loaded water that can change a lot from the dry season to the wet season (summer). Especially during the summer, the water quality is very poor, with a large amount of suspended solids in a very wide range of sizes.

This condition, together with the intense solar radiation on the site, generates water that is very difficult to filter and has a very High clogging potential for the Micro-sprinklers.

In this case, the client has a pond where the water is stored. The only problem with the pond is the proliferation of organic matter due to the high radiation and the type of water.

Another problem we face in this case is the drainage collector. Since water is a very valuable resource in this area, the customer wants to send the backwash water to the storage pond.

This point makes us send the water about 7 m upstream and about 50 m away, which increases the pressure in the drainage manifold, during backwashing, up to 1 bar (approx.). But the customer wants to work at the lowest possible pressure, in order toreducing Energy Consumption and also to have asizing of smaller and more economical pumps.
