Our History
First Carousel System
A system that makes it possible to save 30% in energy; better mixing of biomass; automatic DO control; better oxygenation; and definition and first application of the concept of “Retention Time.”
Italian Water Consultancy developed the study to size the correct operating parameters in the biological reactor. Today, it is universally recognized that retention times, defined primarily by our studies, guarantee the best efficiency and the lowest management costs.
Development Of The “Denitrification Process"
The presence of ammonia or urea in the water to be treated generates an excess of nitrates in the biological process, which must be removed from the system. To this end, Italian Water Consultancy has developed a technology capable of denitrifying with the use of bacteria and eliminating the presence of nitrates in wastewater, ensuring high water quality leaving the clarifier with SS concentrations lower than 10 pm.
Development Of The “Biofilter”
The biofilter is a technology developed to allow the use of biological processes even in small areas. In this case, the biomass adheres to fixed supports in the biological reactor. With the use of air lifts, the water is recirculated and oxygenated. On exit, the use of the clarifier is not necessary, and the retention/contact times are shorter than in traditional systems. It is possible to work with a biomass concentration of up to 40,000 MLSS.
First Biological Plant In Mexico
Plant built in 3 phases with flows from 800 to 4,500 m³/day. We have faced and solved the geographical problems of the site at +2,500 m above sea level. The plant allows to recover 30% of treated water for industrial uses, thus reducing the very high cost of water supply.
Europe’s Largest Plant In The Textile Process
The largest European group in dyeing and finishing. A neutralization system integrated with boiler fumes, gas cogeneration, or diesel cogeneration systems was installed.
First Company That Directly Manages Various ZLD Plants
For over 12 years, we have been the only company that directly manages various ZLD plants. The quality of materials, the selection of the most efficient machinery, the maintenance of productivity standards, and the reduction of management costs are core strengths of our company. We share this expertise with our customers through the creation of new plants and technologies developed from our extensive industry experience.
For this reason, in India, we have established a structure directly controlled by Italian Water Consultancy that manages, supports, and implements the plants we have installed, and is also capable of offering revamping and modernization services, extending the performance guarantees in these cases as well.
First Plant Designed With MBR System In The Textile Process
New storage sector concept as “Multifunction tank” and first company to introduce RO pre-treatment: “Water softener and degasser.” Italian Water Consultancy successfully designed the first plant in India with a capacity of 15,000 m³/day. For four years from the start of the technology yields chemical costs and overall system efficiency fully met the requirements defined in the project.
Development And Construction Of The First Water Recovery Plant In Europe
European Union has financed and monitored the first project in Europe capable of recycling water with a mixed biological system – MBR – RO & NF. A part of the MBR water is used for rinsing and the other part is treated with RO and NF for the recovery of the remaining 95%. In this case, the recovered water has a thermal gradient of about 20 °C, which allows energy savings and less CO2 production due to the lower amount of energy needed to heat the recovered water.
The First Company In The World To Introduce High Pressure RO Membranes Into The Textile Process And To Treat PVA With Anaerobic Technology. Only Company That Provides Insurance Policy For Their 5-Year Projects
Continuous research to optimize “O&M” management costs has led us to collaborate with “Dow Membranes” in the application of new types of membranes expressly designed for industrial water drains. It is possible to reach concentrations of up to 100 GPL with operating pressures up to 80 bar. In this way, recovery can reach 95% using a direct system with 3 stages and 6 arrays.
Therefore, we can feed the MEE with only 4–5% and bypass the fouling film, directly supplying the forced circulation section.For the company, lower investment costs and lower management costs are guaranteed.
The Company That Can Build Plants With 98% Recovery
To obtain this result, a further reverse osmosis stage has been designed with a preliminary treatment of silica and calcium, to be able to use it with an adequate life of the membranes.
