Staunton Harold Pumping Station

Raw Water Filtration - Severn Trent Water

Background:

This case study is focused on a critical pumping station serving a water treatment works for Severn Trent Water. The associated water treatment works (WTW) has a capacity of 240 mega litres per day (MLD), supplying water to three local service reservoirs. The raw water source fed into the WTW contains significant quantities of debris, including silt, sand, mussels, and other marine organisms. This debris poses a substantial challenge to the treatment process and requires a robust protection system to prevent operational disruptions.

Description of the solution:

To address this challenge, 2 x BOLLFILTER Type 6.18 DN700 units were installed. Each filter is designed to process up to 5,000 cubic meters of water per hour with a filtration level of 1mm. By capturing solids that would otherwise enter the water treatment works, the BOLLFILTER system effectively protects the facility. This ensures that potentially harmful solids are removed, optimizing the overall efficiency of the water treatment process.

Advantages and added value for the customer:

By incorporating Bollfilters into the process, the water treatment works (WTW) is assured a consistently high-quality feed water supply. This translates to a multitude of benefits, including reduced operational costs, enhanced protection of critical infrastructure, optimized process efficiency, and the delivery of superior potable water. Bollfilter UK offers comprehensive service and maintenance plans tailored to each filtration system. This proactive approach ensures optimal filter performance while relieving clients of the burden of hands-on maintenance, allowing them to focus on core business operations.

Testimonial:

"We highly recommend Bollfilter for any water treatment application where dependable filtration is critical. They have proven to be a worthwhile investment, providing consistent performance & reliable protection for our critical equipment." - Tom Dowell, Senior Technician at Melbourne WTW
