HOW WE TEAM UP WITH YOU

We believe great teams create great things together. We are working hand in hand with developers, EPCs, contractors, systems integrators, OEMs and operators to create outstanding project solutions.

STEP 1
PROJECT STUDY

COLLECTION OF PROJECT DATA AND DESIGN REQUIREMENTS

  • What is the raw water source? 
  • What are the treatment targets? 
  • What is the required capacity? 
  • Greenfield or brownfield project? 
  • Duty & stand-by requirements?  

These and other information we need to get the understanding of your project to design the right ceramic flat sheet membrane process solution. 

Therefore, simply use our questionnaire and send the completed form to our engineering team.

STEP 2
PROJECTION

We provide complete project calculation for you to estimate CAPEX and OPEX of the entire ceramic flat sheet membrane filtration process as well as required pre-treatment. 

THE PACKAGE CONTAINS

  • Project Specifications (input from RFQ form sheet)
  • General Process Flow Diagram & Description
  • Flow & Component Mass Balances
  • Hydraulic Calculation
  • Filtration & Backwash Process Calculation
  • Chemical Cleaning Calculation
  • Main Equipment Calculation
  • Power Consumption Estimation
  • Chemical Consumption
  • Main Equipment Overview
  • General Process & Instrumentation Diagram
  • Filtration Tank Design Options
  • Pre-Treatment Requirements

    •  

STEP 3
PROJECT EXECUTION

FURTHER DESIGN DETAILS

  • Civil work structure of filtration tanks
  • Piping and instrumentation design
  • Process & Instrumentation Diagram details
  • Process philosophy

It enables you to implement our filtration step into the plant layout. Once you have completed the overall plant design we review all documents and consult you on construction:

  • Confirmation of right equipment selection like pumps, valves, instrumentation and pipe sizing prior to procurement
  • Review of hydraulic profile
  • Confirmation of overall P&ID
  • Check of civil work design including site visit for tolerances records (for preparation of installation)
  • Support on installation of accessory equipment 

TOWER ASSEMBLY AT SITE

We provide instruction manuals for assembly of delivered modules and tower accessory equipment (header and base sets).

Our support at site:

  • Tower assembly & disassembly including training
  • Training for future maintenance and service work (spare part replacements)
HOW TO ASSEMBLE

INSTALLATION OF TOWERS INSIDE THE FILTRATION TRAINS

  • Supervision of tower installation or own installation by CERAFILTEC team
  • Check of installed air-scouring piping system on tank bottom
  • Positioning of single towers inside the train
  • Connection of all related header piping (filtered water and sprinkler system)

SYSTEM START-UP

  • Control check – operation of single process steps (filtration, backwash, cleaning procedures) in manual and automated mode
  • Equipment check – leakage tests via bubble point test
  • System start-up as per projection (project design package)
  • Training of operator

FINAL PROCESS SETTINGS, COMMISSIONING AND PLANT HAND-OVER

  • Pre-treatment adjustment – pH setting and required chemical dosing
  • Settings and check of filtered water quality and quantity (as per warranty specification)
  • Automated operation
  • Training of operator

STEP 4
PLANT OPERATION

REPORTS, PROCESS ADJUSTMENTS AND SPECIAL LAB ANALYSES

  • SCADA remote monitoring of operation and process data
  • Analysis of data log sheets and provision of frequent performance reports
  • Process adjustments (if needed e.g. due to raw water changes)
  • Lab analysis of special parameters (e.g. Ra, TEP, PCB)
