OPERATION MODE
The pressure booster module provides the permanent water pressure, which is necessary
for the function of water treatment, independent from the conditions at the inlet. The
input pressure for AQUA PLUS® STANDARD will be regulated to 3 [bar].

function control of AQUA PLUS®water treatment plant
Testing programme, consultation and guidance during the testing phaseThe quality of water can vary greatly, depending on the pumping or flow-in zones and subsequent insufficient treatment. Heavy metals, arsenic and live germs as well as HC-agents can be introduced and exceed the critical values set by drinking water regulations. Although requirements vary greatly, thorough testing to evaluate water treatment plants for an appropriate time period is essential.Tested Substances, Carbohydrate and Phenol Test Phenol, MG 94,11 g/mol. Sufficiently dissolves in water with 93.000 mg per litre. Based on drinking water regulations, it is possible to charge one litre of phenol-saturated water to 1000 m³ water, two hundred times the authorised value. With the overload as high as 100 ppb (limit 0,55 ppb) a charge of the activated carbon with 10k/kg is possible, i.d. after 1000 m³ there should not yet be any strain in the plant caused by phenol. Heavy Metal charging based on the example of Nickel Nickel in excess of 50 µg/l may not be present in drinking water. In order to determine the heavy metal capacity, raising the critical value for drinking water five times should be sufficient. For 1000 m³ that means about 250 g Ni-additives. Used for the additives should be NiSO4 * 6 H2O, MG 262,85, Ni-portion 22,3 weight percent, dissolution in water 652/l water. Arsenic Charge Drinking water may not be charged with arsenic in excess of 10 µg/l. In order to determine the arsenic retention, a fivefold raise of the critical values for drinking water should also be sufficient. For 1000 m³ that means about 50 g As-additives. The known arsenic trioxide (AS203) dissolves moderately with approx. 30g/l in water. However, that is sufficient for contamination. Addition of live germs, critical values and their meaning Drinking water regulatory agencies base their quality requirements on water which in general originates from deep within the earth and is, after sufficient filtration, considered to be ground water. Drinking water must be free of any agents causing diseases. This is indirectly proven if Escheria coli, coliform germs and fecal sreptococci, resp. sulfate reducing spore-forming anaerobes, are not present in the water. Accepted are bacterial counts consisting of less than 100 colony-forming elements during 20°C and 36 °C, resp. a 12-hour breeding period. For this reason, the addition of live germs for model purposes is extremely critical. The sample should contain few nutrients, be well refrigerated and renewed at regulated, even time intervals. A steady supply of water originating from rivers or other near-surface sources is presently preferred for testing, however, would most likely be subject to too many variations (temporary fecal entry, rain periods, etc.) to bring about long-term reliable results. For this reason, it should again be attempted to add a dosage of approx. 106 germs per ml from a receiver, in collaboration with a sewage-treatment plant. In order to receive a 10fold overload, dilution can add up to 1 ml to 1 liter. Find the complete test results and the evaluation in our download area as a submenue of Service.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
AQUA PLUS® STANDARD water treatment plants are self contained systems for low energy treatment of surface, rain, ground and secondary waters without chemicals. The basic model can be run as single or multiple application providing a hourly flow rate up to approximately 2.500 [l/h], equivalent up to 60 [m³/d], depending on the raw water quality. To produce higher volumes AQUA PLUS® STANDARD - systems can easily be applied and run under parallel mode. AQUA PLUS® STANDARD plants are modularly constructed. |
HOUSING
Welded frame of square/rectangular hollow steel profiles, clad with 1.5 mm aluminium sheet. The front consists of two doors, hinged right and left, with latches on top and bottom and an cylinder lock in the left door. The housing is primed and has a powder-coated surface. Outer dimensions 1000 mm x 1600 mm x 780 mm including standoff feet of 100 mm at the bottom corners. This ensures a stable and dry installation irrespective of the condition of the floor. |

PRESSURE BOOSTER MODUL
This module contains the booster pump (electrical input 230 [V], 50 [Hz] (option-ally 60 [Hz]), 550 [W]), and an adjustable pressure control unit combined with a manometer (display up to 10 [bar]). The pressure adjustment is sealed. |
PRESSURE REDUCTION
The top of the device is a pressure reduction valve DN 25. Valve casing of brass, fitted with two pressure gauges. Opposite to the assembly-line direction there is the manometer for the input pressure. The right pressure gauge is for input pressure (display up to 15 bar), the left one for regulated pressure (dis-play up to 10 bar) on the valve casing. Operation pressure max. 10 bar, opera-tion temperature max. 30 °C. Turning adjustment screw clockwise reduces pressure, turning counterclock-wise increases it. The screw is sealed. Adjustment range 1.5 to 6 bar. The se-lectivity amounts 77 %, the flow-rate is Dp = 0,2: V = 3,4 [m³/h]. |

PREFILTERING
Mechanical filter for filtering of fines, sand particles etc. Filter cup acrylic glass with valve for manual back flushing. Insert: Plastic net filter, mesh aperture: 100 [µ]. |
OXYGEN GENERATOR
Casting plastic (PE - ND, DIN 19533). electro physical generation of ions, mainly O2 and H+ (Cl-, Na+ and other disassociation products in small quantities). Power consumption is controlled electronically according to quality and use of input water and is 2 - 17 [V DC], 20 - 1000 [mA]. |

ACTIVATE CARBON REACTOR
The cascaded activated carbon reactors are arranged in series connection. The reactor containers have 20.4 l content each and are made of fibre-glass rein-forced plastic (EP - GF). Fittings R ¾ inch, operating pressure max. 4 [bar]. Filling: 20,4 [l] high-quality activated carbon, selected according to operation type, for special applications coated.

SURVEILLANTS
These devices comprise:
|
CONTROLLING
Separate main fuses for pump [10 A] and UV electronics, transformer, rectifier and control
unit. Control and supervision by microcomputer unit, display of operation status by
alphanumeric display (2 lines of 16 characters) and 4 pilot lamps. Malfunction and
insufficient values are signaled by blinking the red pilot
lamp and are displayed on the display. The plant does not start up. If the initial check was
correct, plant enters STANDBY status, signaled by white pilot lamp. Normal operation is
signaled by green pilot light. While the UVC-lamp warms up
(intensity 51 to 70 %) the yellow pilot light is on. This warm-up
has to be finished in less than 4 minutes. If not, the yellow pilot
light signals necessary maintenance. |
