Penn State selects Evoqua technologies
nited Utilities has invested in DynaDisc disc filtration technology from Hydro International to improve phosphates removal at its Congleton and Saddleworth wastewater treatment works in the UK and to meet Urban Wastewater Directive water quality targets. The DynaDisc units have been installed at both plants in a project to supplement secondary trickling filter beds treatment. Nomenca Ltd, a specialist mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, control and automation contractor, also installed new dosing systems and integrated the equipment with existing instrumentation systems as part of United Utilities’ AMP5 investment programme. DynaDisc comprises modular discshaped screen cassettes covered with fine woven filter media to specified pore sizes, suspended on a rotatable shaft within a drum. Key benefits include a very compact footprint, low head requirements and high suspended particle removal.
