Turbidity Mill

Key benefits

Rapidly batch treats water bodies with flocculant.
Easily transported from site to site.
Portable treatment system = reduced capital costs.

General Description

The Turbidity Mill Water Treatment System is extremely effective in reducing turbidity and suspended solids in standing water bodies without the need to pump the entire water body through a treatment plant. The Turbidity Mill is placed on the water body requiring treatment and is propelled around the surface of the water body as it dispenses the reagent, providing batch treatment of an entire water body.

The Turbidity Mill is removed from the water body once treatment is completed and transported to the next water body requiring treatment. The capital spent on the treatment system is not locked up at one site but is transported to where treatment is required, providing significant cost savings. This water treatment system is the solution to many emergency response treatment requirements for drinking water storages following floods, earthquakes and other natural disasters. The simplicity, portability and low operating and capital cost of the Turbidity Mill makes it suitable for treating drinking water in developing countries.

Launching a Turbidity Mill is as simple as launching a boat. Model 1015/6P is being launched directly into a turbid water body from its custom built trailer.

Model 1015/6P - Water based.
