Amaid to Provide Disc Filters to Brazilian Wastewater Plant

Water filters and filtration systems provider Amiad will provide its proprietary SpinKlin disc filters for the Aquapolo tertiary wastewater treatment project in São Paulo, Brazil.

Secondary effluent from a local sewage plant will be treated at the facility to supply water for industrial use at the Capuave petrochemical complex.

Intitally, water will be filtered by the SpinKlin discs, which are designed to retain solids with a diameter larger than 400 microns, before being biologically treated and passing through the ultra-filtration membrane modules.

The technology will replace the current practice of using drinking water for industrial purposes, increasing the supply of potable water.

Pollution will be prevented as sewage will be treated and reused rather than released into the Tamanduateí River.
