Also benefiting from a local control system, AXIA ensures that operating procedures for filtration, backwash, Clean-In-Place (CIP) and integrity testing are correctly carried out.
Low on maintenance, the AXIA membrane rack is easily removed from the side of the membrane cell.
No overhead craneage or lifting facilities are required, and once revealed, the membrane modules can be simply removed by hand.
When operated post-Actiflo, raw feed water requires no prescreening for AXIA, which has a dedicated filtrate pump to draw the feed water through the wall of the hollow fibre membranes.
The filtrate then passes through the centre of the hollow fibres, out the top of each module into the filtrate manifold, and finally into service.
Backwashing utilises an on-board air blower to provide an air scour of the membranes, whilst the filtrate pump provides a reverse filtrate flow to flush the modules.
Using water from the onboard filtrate tank, the cell is then washed, with the resulting backwash water being gravity-drained off-skid for disposal.
The compressor provides air for the Pressure Decay Test (PDT), ensuring the quality of filtered water.
During the infrequent CIP events, the chemicals are drawn from carbouys, introduced to the pipework by means of an eductor, and then circulated around the membranes in the cell.
The resulting waste is gravity drained off skid for treatment or disposal.
