United Utilities are now using Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies’ Hydrotech Discfilters at Holme, Kendal, Leigh, Glazebury and Coniston STW’s for tertiary solids removal following the initial successful installation at Windermere STW. The Hydrotech Discfilter showed significant cost advantages compared to alternative processes when treating final effluent to better than 15mg/l TSS.

Hydrotech® Discfilters are also to be installed by South West Water at their Lanner St Day STW (30 L/s) and by Thames Water at Merstham STW (60 L/s). Both projects will be completed in 2010.

Hydrotech® Discfilter modules are available in four ranges up to 1,000 L/s and can be supplied on steel frames for building into concrete chambers or as stand-alone stainless steel tank units.
