[영국] 세라믹 멤브레인 물 프로젝트 진행

약 300일간의 공사 끝에 영국 최초의 대규모 세라믹 멤브레인 식수처리 공장 건설이 완료됐다.

메이플라워 수처리장(Mayflower Water Treatment Works)은 네덜란드 기술 회사인 PWNT에서 사우스 웨스트 워터(South West Water)의 공익사업으로 설계되었다.
 
메이플라워 수처리장은 1950년대 지어진 Plymouth의 Crownhill을 대체한다. 이것은 2018년 9월에 가동될 예정이며, 기존 Crownhill은 몇달 후 서비스를 중단한다.

이 프로젝트는 South West Water가 2015-2020년 사업계획에서 가장 큰 단일 자본 투자이다.

사우스 웨스트 워터 공익사업부 전무이사 Stephen Bird는 "다음 봄까지 본관 건물 작업을 마무리 짓는 것을 목표로 하고 있다"고 전했다.

UK ceramic membrane water project moves ahead

The UK’s first large-scale ceramic membrane drinking water treatment plant is on track with 300 days of construction complete.

The ￡60 million Mayflower Water Treatment Works is being designed by Dutch technology company PWNT for utility South West Water.
 
Tested at a prototype facility from 2013 to 2015, the technology uses suspended ion exchange with a resin regeneration system, inline coagulation and ceramic membrane microfiltration.

It is the first time that this combined technology has been used in the UK.

Mayflower Water Treatment Works will replace the outdated treatment works at Crownhill in Plymouth, which was built in the 1950s and is reaching the end of its useful life.

The development is scheduled to become operational in September 2018, with the existing Crownhill works retiring from service a few months later.

The project is South West Water’s biggest single capital investment in its 2015-20 business plan.

Stephen Bird, managing director of utility South West Water, said: “We’re approaching the halfway point of the construction timetable and while there is plenty more to do, real progress is being made and the team have been working tirelessly in all weathers to ensure we’re on target to finish the main building work by next Spring.”
