PRIORITISED IMPLEMENTATION OF OZONATED WATER FILTRATION PLANT

WITH UV (MEMCON)

A LOOK AT THE REQUIREMENTS

Clean water prior to distribution to municipal storm water drain

Water for applications throughout the factory

For uses other than in end products

Suitable for end product for future purposes

A LOOK AT THE SCIENCE1 Factory effluent

enters effluent plant and solids are

removed.

2 Water is filtrated in effluent plant.

3 Blender mixes 25% municipal and 75% reworked filtered

water.

4 Ozonated filtration removes bacteria.

5 Only 75% goes into filtration plant where it is ozonated into a

silo.

6 Goes through UV system back into the

factory.
