As their largest Industrial Series (IS) System sale to date, Voltea is proud to have won this IS-218 CapDI System for the treatment of borehole water to alleviate the customer’s dependence on the municipal water supply for their daily operations.
This customer, with Zutari as their Engineering Consultant (Zutari Website), conducted a feasibility study on the use of water treatment technology solutions to most effectively and efficiently treat the local area water. The Port Elizabeth area is known for its water scarcity issues, which precipitated Zutari to explore opportunities that would provide water security to this manufacturing facility beyond a potential day-zero.
Of the three feed water supply options; sea water, a nearby lake and an on-site borehole, the on-site borehole water supply was chosen as the most attainable solution to provide a steady source of water to the facility without the risk of affecting the local municipal water supply to the larger community.
Naturally, the on-site borehole at the facility had elevated salinity levels that required a water treatment solution.
