Actiflo- Any Experience?

[ch81pc]

Hi,

We are about to comission a new Actiflo clarifier (60 MLD) to treat potable water and was wondering if anyone had any experience (usefull tips or things to watch out for) with running one.

Thanks

Paul

Contact your supplier for locations of similar installations, or look up the references that where submitted with the project. I have seen one in operation on a plant tour, fascinating method of clarifier operation. Hope it works well in your application.

Hi!
Sorry for the delay in replying. I don't visit here as often as I would like. My local Regional Water System is running an Actiflo system that they installed a few years ago.

I have talked with the plant operator several times because we may soon recommend an Actiflo unit for an instrial client. I can provide you with the plant operator's contact info. He likes the system and always seems willing to discuss his experience.

Cheers!
Dave

There is a good article in the July 2005 issue of Opflow (AWWA publication) on the startup of a large Florida system.
