Primary Treatment processes

Hydroflux has a wealth of experience in the design and construction of primary or physical and chemical treatment plants

Although every application is different and to ensure that the treatment plant performs consistently a high level of knowledge of the wastewater and production processes are requited, a primary treatment plant will often utilise similar unit processes such as screening, DAF or clarification and sludge handling. There are some unique process operations that can be applied in some instances that offer very favorable returns so please contact our experts for a discussion on potential possibilities.
