to operate, but we cannot predict the quality of the water at the end of the process,” says Buzzell.

Conclusion

CEDI is a compelling option for various water treatment applications, particularly in industries where water purification is critical. It is an efficient and cost-effective method for producing high-purity water with low levels of dissolved solids. It offers several advantages over traditional ion exchange processes, including high efficiency, low operating costs, low maintenance requirements, and flexibility in terms of scalability and space requirements. This makes it widely used in power production (boiler feed), science-intensive industries, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, general industry, and production of high-purity substances.

New 16 Ml A Day Water Treatment Plant

WEC Water, a South African engineering, procurement, and construction company, completed building a new multi-stage water treatment plant at Kasane in Botswana. This new plant will provide safe drinking water to the local communities.

This new water treatment plant produces 16 Ml (16 million liters) of potable water per day for the local population of 90,000 people. The water will also be crucial for local businesses. The Kasane area is experiencing rapid population and economic growth and the old treatment plant was no longer capable of meeting the demand, this new plant sees that the exciting growth in the area will be met with continued water supply.

WEC was appointed as the mechanical and electrical sub-contractor, responsible for the design, manufacturing, delivery, installation and commissioning of the water treatment works.

Raw water is drawn from the Chobe River and is treated by clarification, followed by gravity sand and activated carbon filtration and final disinfection by dosing chlorine dioxide.

Raw water is collected from the Chobe River and is then processed through clarification, gravity sand and activated carbon filtration before a final disinfection of chlorine dioxide. Ruan Kellerman, senior project manager at WEC Water says, “The recent economic growth of Kasane spurred the government to upgrade its municipal services in the area. This upgrade aims to accommodate the new influx of tourists, and workers in the area.”

The plant guarantees that treated water, adhering to the Botswana Bureau of Standards is supplied to one the nation’s fastest growing regions.
