WATER FILTRATION IS AN AREA THAT IMPACTS EVERYONE. FROM COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS TO UNDER SINK SYSTEMS WITHIN THE HOME, THE QUEST FOR PURE WATER HAS BEEN A PRIORITY FOR CENTURIES.

In ancient Greek and Sanskrit writings dating back to 2000 BC, water treatment methods were recommended. People were aware that heating water might purify it. They were also educated in sand and gravel filtration, boiling, and straining. The major motive for water purification was better tasting drinking water.

After 500 BC, Hippocrates discovered the healing powers of water. He invented the practice of sieving water, and obtained the first bag filter, which was called the ‘Hippocratic sleeve’. The main purpose of the bag was to trap sediments that caused bad tastes or odours.

In today’s world the importance of water and its purity is crucial. From the mining sector to the food and beverage industry – effective water filtration is paramount to your business.

Our comprehensive range of water filtration applications and our team’s experience and knowledge allow us to deliver quality pure water solutions for your business from installation to service.

Founded in 1872, Sibelco began operation in the Australian and New Zealand markets in 2000. One of the world’s largest industrial mineral companies Sibelco has a network of over 45 mines, plants, sales offices and warehouses based in Australia. They supply products to Glass, Mining, Agriculture, Construction and Industrial Manufacturing industries.

IBC Water has had a long standing partnership with Sibelco’s Silica Sand manufacturing plant on North Stradbroke Island. The plant is a floating Concentrator Vessel which is 60m long by 40m wide designed specifically for sand mining.

The Concentrator processes 3,000 tons of sand a day to extract the zircon which goes towards manufacturing paints, toothpaste, sunscreen, ceramic tiles, touch phones and digital tablets.

Originally IBC Water installed an activated carbon and sand filter system to treat bore water as it was pumped from the pond to the Concentrator for general consumption and washing purposes.

However, over time various factors such as pond water chloroforms, general wear and tear and age saw a deterioration in the end water product. This lead to Sibelco having to purchase and transport water onto the island at sizeable costs.

In late 2012, Sibelco again approached IBC Water to discuss how to best upgrade their water system. Bob Bell, the plants Operations Superintendent, brief was to design and install a system to meet OH & S regulations and the needs of the Concentrator’s crews without environmental impacts to North Stradbroke Island.

Now under the ownership of Continental Water, the team designed, built and now service a comprehensive

combined water system which serves various functions such as drinking and requirements to manufacturing processes. The system encompasses Kinetico Non-Electric Filters which includes a pH neutraliser, a water softener and multimedia filters to manage the 15,000 litres a day usage requirements. Incoming water pressure drives the Kinetico system meaning the system is only in operation when water is needed; saving on power.

The entire system is housed in a 12 sqm plant and is serviced on a regular basis from our Brisbane plant. The service involves salt top up as well as a general maintenance and a water quality check.

Water quality is maintained in the 3,000 litre holding tank through an electric UV system. Again this system is serviced and maintained by our Brisbane Service Technicians.

The system now means the staff shifts can confidently drink and bathe in the water overcoming the need to transport water to the pontoon and is in operation 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Bob Bell highlighted that “The system has exceeded my expectations. The team put forward an innovative solution which saves energy, is reliable and is saving Sibelco money as we no longer have to buy water.

We also now have the added peace of mind knowing the system is maintained to exacting OH & S water requirements for the general health and well being of the employees working on the Concentrator.”

WHY AN ELECTRIC SYSTEM?An electric system allows you to set the time and frequency of the back wash and gives you full control of your water filtration system.

This is crucial in numerous industries and applications such as labs and hospital scenarios, laundries and food and beverage manufacturing.

All of our electric valves feature;• Seven day timer for time based backwashes

or• Microprocessor for volume based backwash

WHY USE A KINETICO NON-ELECTRIC SYSTEM?Continental Water is a close distribution partner with Kinetico – the world pioneer in non-electric filter systems.

A Kinetico non-electric system has the same qualities and attributes of an electric system but runs on water pressure to drive all functions of the Kinetico valve.

A Kinetico non-electric system is ideal when a system is not running to a strict regime as it saves both water and power. It can be used in remote areas which don’t have access to power or an application that does not require backwashing at a set time throughout a 24 hour period.

The Hydrus Valve is a non-electric 50mm valve, (the standard non-electric valve is 32mm) the first top mount control that regenerates in a counter current format right out of the box. It reduces salt use by more than 30% which delivers additional cost savings and efficiencies. It works in conjunction with a Kinetico non-electric water system.

WHICH FILTER SYSTEM IS BEST FOR YOU?

ELECTRIC OR KINETICO NON-ELECTRIC

Both an electric and a Kinetico non-electric system supports the following applications;

• Single or multi tank configurations• Water softening• Filtration• Ion exchange• Deionisation systems• Co-current or counter current regenerations

Hydrus Valve features;

• Non-corrosive• No motors• Hydraulic operation• No limit-switches• Lead free• No cams

The Hydrus Smart Start is the perfect complement to a Hydrus non-electric system. It is a controller that can operate your entire system to a range of specifications and configurations.

One media type does not fit all filtration require-ments. We offer a diverse range of media options to suit a broad range of industries from resin Deionisation systems to Kinetico Macrolite media.

We can create a customised solution to suit any budget, industry or operation size.

1. KINETICO MACROLITE Macrolite is a ground breaking filtration media which provides the best filtration performance and high filtration rates. The granular, ceramic media offers filtration superior in comparison with more traditional aggregates such as sand and multi media.

The end result for you? A system that will improve water quality, lower operating costs and reduce waste discharge volumes.

Features;• Filters to 5 micron• 100 x surface area to sand• Removes more turbidity• Holds solids longer than traditional medias• More particle removal at very low micron levels• Reduced media weight reduces backwash flow rates• 100 % bed expansion at a flow rate 2/3 or less than

other filter types

2. CARBONCarbon filtration is a common method of removing unwanted tastes and odours caused by chlorine, organics, chemicals, herbicides, pesticides and algae. Removal of chlorine is necessary before a reverse osmosis system and water softener treatment as these processes are not tolerant to chlorine. Unlike other forms of media filtration, carbon will also partially remove tannin or organic colours. One litre of carbon has roughly the surface area of a football field, therefore quite extensive runs from the carbon bed can be realised before replacement is required.

3. CALCITECalcite is a crushed and screened white marble material used to neutralise low pH water to a neutral non-corrosive state. Upon contact with calcite, acidic water slowly dissolves the calcium carbonate media to raise the pH level, which subsequently reduces the potential leaching of copper, lead and other metals typically found in plumbing systems. However, in some circumstances calcite will add hardness to the water supply and a water softener may be required. Calcite filtration is an efficient neutralising filter.

4. MULTI MEDIAMulti Media filtration is used primarily to remove sediment down to a nominal 25 microns by collecting particles and flushing the waste during the backwashing process. The filter has a five-strata bed; the system consists of 5 different filtration media from coarse gravel to fine sand.

5. MANGANESE GREEN-SAND FILTERSManganese Greensand is a naturally occurring glauconite mineral of marine origin. The singular nodular grains of glauconite are washed, graded, stabilised and coated with manganese oxide. This media has the ability to attract, absorb or dissolve iron, manganese and moderate levels of hydrogen sulphide in raw water. This type of filtration requires regeneration to occur on a regular basis with potassium permanganate, which oxidises or precipitates the mineral bed of absorbed iron, manganese and hydrogen sulphide. These are then removed during the backwashing or rinsing process. A level below 7pH will strip the media rendering it useless. pH correction by way of soda ash dosing is recommended.

SIMPLEX (SINGLE)This system uses raw water to regenerate or backwash. This configuration is the most economical to purchase and the most space efficient; however, operational costs and waste production is not the lowest. Additionally it does not produce the best water quality. This system has a a flow rate ranging from 8 to 360 LPM.

DUPLEX (DUAL)Uses soft or filtered water to regenerate. This configuration is suited for intermittent higher flow designs needed by laundries, hotels, motels and large food and beverage preparation facilities. Duplex flow rates range from 100 LPM to 700 LPM.

TANK CONFIGURATIONS

6. NEXTSANDNextsand filtration is a high-purity form of filtration, filtering down to a credible 3 micron (nominal 5), and provides a higher solid loading, longer running times, superior performance and long bed life in comparison to multi media. The hardness, stability and micro porous character of Nextsand makes it a perfect filtration media for virtually every application in the water and wastewater treatment industry.

7. DMI-65 DMI-65 is an effective media in the removal of iron and manganese from raw water, by acting as an oxidisation channel allowing immediate oxidisation and removal of the insoluble precipitate. It performs well within a wide

pH range of 5.8 up to 8.6, and also achieves efficient filtration under high operating temperatures up to a maximum of 45˚C.

8. BAG FILTERSBag filtration offers a solution to traditional forms of filtration whilst maintaining cost effectiveness and versatility for a range of applications. The housing is made from durable and hard-wearing polypropylene or stainless steel with UV resistant properties. The filtration process works by water entering the unit through the inlet manifold and passing into the top section of the bag housing, through the internal filter bag, leaving through the lower outlet manifold. The degree of filtration is determined by the micron rating of the bag installed.

TRIPLEX (TRIPLE)As with a Duplex system, this configuration uses soft or filtered water to regenerate. This system is ideal for continuous high flow rate applications where water quality and regeneration efficiency is vital, such as chlorine production, batch filling operations, boiler feed and other critical applications. The Triplex design effectively regenerates one tank at a time with only a minimal pressure drop. A Triplex system has a flow rate ranging from 200 LPM to 1,000 LPM.

MULTI TANKAgain uses soft or filtered water to regenerate or backwash. This configuration delivers high flow rates with almost no backwash detectable pressure drops during regeneration or backwash. The design offers high salt efficiency and the softest water possible. A Multi Tank system has flow rates from 60 LPM to 1500 LPM.

WATER IS REFERRED TO AS “HARD” IF IT CONTAINS A LOT OF CALCIUM AND MAGNESIUM. GROUND-WATER ACQUIRES THESE MINERALS BY DISSOLVING THEM FROM SURROUNDING SOIL AND ROCK.

You can easily see the effects of hard water including low sudsing when using soaps and detergents, which leaves a residue on skin, clothes and hair. This can lead to red itchy skin and irritation. But what does this mean for commercial applications?

Hard water causes dissolved calcium and magnesium to precipitate out of hard water as scale, which builds up on the insides of pipes and industrial machinery. Scale reduces flow through pipes and is a poor conductor of heat. Eventually, pipes can become completely clogged and less functional.

Without an effective water softener solution, valuable production time can be lost in repairs and reduce water flow rates, plus the life of your production system can be dramatically shortened.

All water softeners use a process called Ion Exchange to remove the magnesium and calcium and produce water which does not leave scale or unwanted residue in your manufacturing system.

Continental Water Systems offer a broad range of local and off shore systems to suit every application, budget and project size. We supply IBC single, duplex and triplex systems and Kinetico non-electric systems which can be serviced on a regular basis by our locally based service team.

KINETICO NON-ELECTRIC WATER SOFTENERSELECTRIC WATER SOFTENERS

SINGLE, DUPLEX AND TRIPLEX SYSTEMSAn IBC Water Softener uses Cation resin which will exchange its sodium with Calcium and Magnesium in the water. This reaction is reversed in the regeneration process, when at a pre-set time; brine (saturated salty water) is drawn up from an attached brine tank and is flushed through the resin to remove the Calcium and Magnesium to waste.

KINETICO MACH SERIES EXCLUSIVE MACH SERIES NON-ELECTRIC CONTROL VALVEKinetico delivers an exclusive non-electric control valve which eliminates the need to adjust, set, repair or replace timers, computers or electrical components. The Kinetico control valve simultaneously manages two media tanks through service and regeneration cycles. Water pressure, not electricity, runs the system. As water passes through the control valve, a water turbine meters the amount of water processed by the systems. The valve automatically initiates regeneration after the predetermined amount of water has been treated.

As the system is comprised of two media tanks, soft water can be used for the complete regeneration process which substantially improves the system’s efficiency and the product water quality.

SYSTEM UPGRADES AND OPTIONS• Kinetico’s Water Softener systems allow your system to grow as

your business expands• Adjustable meter range based on interchangeable flow nozzles

– from 0.19 LPM and as high as 90 LPM.

FEATURES• System by-pass valve allows for quick and easy installation,

service and maintenance of the system.• Quick Connect Adaptors• Allow for installation to 0.75", 1' and 1.25" plumbing • 0/75' Flexible Hose• Metered, Demand Operated• Only regenerates when necessary which saves salt• Twin Tank System• Provides an uninterrupted supply of clean, soft water that

is also used to make brine for the regeneration.

EXPERIENCE THE KINETICO DIFFERENCEUntil now, all industrial water softeners have been the same; they use large amounts of salt to regenerate and simultane-ously allow some hard water to leak into service. Kinetico’s Hydrus water softeners are different.

The Hydrus water softener is the only multi-port system to use counter current, soft water regeneration right out of the box. This proven and trusted method of operation results in up to a 40 percent reduction in salt use when compared to other units. In addition waste water volumes are reduced by as much as 30 percent, making Hydrus a more environ-mentally responsible water treatment product than others.

Water quality from a Hydrus water softener is significantly better than the water quality from a traditional co-current or hard water regenerating system. With a Hydrus system, hardness leakage will be reduced by as much as 95 percent.

HYDRUS SOFTENING SYSTEMS

SINGLE-TANK CONFIGURATIONSimplex – Uses raw water to regenerate. This configuration is the most economical to purchase and the most space efficient. However, operational costs and waste production are not the lowest. Additionally, it does not offer the best water quality.

MULTI-TANK CONFIGURATIONSDuplex – Uses soft water to regenerate. This design is suited for intermittent higher flow designs.

Triplex – Uses soft water to regenerate. This configur-ation is ideal for continuous high flow rate applications where water quality and regeneration efficiency are vital, such as chlorine production, batch filling operations, boiler feed and other critical applications. The Triplex design effectively regenerates one tank at a time with only a minimal pressure drop.

Multi-Tank – Uses soft water to regenerate. This system ensures high flow rates with almost no detectable pressure drops during regeneration. The design offers high salt efficiency and the softest water possible.

Membranes for water applications are being highlighted as a potentially cost-effective option to deliver a range of purification and separation needs. They can be used across human, industrial and environmental applications and make the need for traditional water treatment methods, such as physical separation techniques, chemical treatments and evaporation techniques, redundant.

Membrane Technology uses selectively permeable barriers, with pores sized to allow for the travel of water molecules but small enough to block the passage of unwanted particles and compounds.

In 1950, Membrane Technology treatment was introduced in the desalination treatment of brackish, ground water and seawater. Continued advances in materials, designs and process combinations have today seen a big increase in affordable, chemical free, environmentally friendly applications across a broad range of industries.

Trendpac was established in 1963 and is a 100 percent Australian family owned business – celebrating its 50th anniversary it is a continually growing business. Trendpac offers a full range of manufacturing, packaging and product development services in the following areas;

• Personal care products• Household cleaning products• Industrial cleaning products• Pet care• Car care• Plastic moulding and packaging

Trendpac supplies some of Australia’s biggest super-market chains and leading multi-national publicly listed companies. The plant covers 30 acres and is in operation 24/7 producing batches from 2,000 litres to 10,000 litres. With its own transportation system trucks are continually shipping product to supply their FMCG customers. Given the size of the manufacturing plant and production volumes it is crucial that all supporting systems deliver.

Water is a vital part of the manufacturing process. Without pure water the products would contain harmful bacteria which would impact the quality in countless ways, including shortened shelf life in store, surface contamination from cleaning products and ultimately loss of credibility of both Trendpac and the customers they supply.

Continental Water was invited to tender for the installation of a Reverse Osmosis (RO) system with the capacity to treat 120,000 litres per day.

The RO system is part of a combined system with the primary function of supplying a continuous feed of treated water aligned with Trendpac’s 24 hour production schedule. An in built self-testing unit regularly tests the water to maintain optimum purity to prevent unwanted contaminates entering the production process.

The treated water is directed to a storage tank with a 27,000 litre capacity which can be sent to production at a moment’s notice. Stored water is passed through an ultraviolet system and Ozone Oxidiser to eliminate any bacteria which may have formed while the water was in storage. The water is then released back into the main plant production process.

Feedback from Bob Wright, Trendpac, Production Maintenance Manager when asked about the system was positive, “Continental really delivered, the team know their stuff. We have a monthly service contract with Continental who clean and sanitise the RO systems and make sure all the supporting water applications are functioning as they should.”

In a business that relies on high volumes of RO water our RO system can meet the demands of a 24/7 operation producing high volumes of industrial and residential cleaning product.

Membrane elements cross the spectrum of membrane including reverse osmosis (RO), ultrafiltration (UF). Originally RO membranes were designed for water desalination, spiral wound membranes are now used in a variety of applications including agriculture, manufacturing high purity water and at high temperature and extreme pH conditions.

There are a number of RO membranes for varying applications.

1. LOW ENERGY These RO elements are selected when high rejection, high flow and ultra-low operating pressures are desired.

2. FOULING RESISTANT Thin-film reverse osmosis (RO) membrane elements are characterised by high flow, high sodium chloride rejection and low fouling surface properties.

3. BRACKISH WATER Membranes designed for many applications including bore water where higher Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) levels are expected.

4. SEA WATER Used almost exclusively in water containing above 15,000ppm and up to 35,000 ppm of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS).

5. RO MEMBRANES Typically are available in a number of different sizes to meet most flow rate requirements.

6. ULTRAFILTRATION (UF) A separation process using membranes with pore sizes in the range of 0.1 to 0.001 micron. Typically, UF membranes will remove high molecular-weight substances, colloidal materials, and organic and inorganic polymeric molecules. Low molecular-weight organics and ions such as sodium, calcium, magnesium chloride, and sulfate are not removed by UF Membranes.

APPLICATIONS• Pretreatment of Reverse Osmosis systems• Removal of Suspended Solids• Post Waste Water treatment plants • Laboratory grade water purification • Industrial wastewater treatment • Drinking water disinfection (including removal of viruses)• Removal of endocrines and pesticides combined with

Suspended Activated Carbon pretreatment

INDUSTRIES

Ultrafiltration, like Reverse Osmosis, is a cross – flow separation process. Here liquid stream to be treated (feed) flows tangentially along the membrane surface, thereby producing two streams. The stream of liquid that comes through the membrane is called permeate.

Conventional filters such as media filters or cartridge filters, only remove suspended solids by trapping these in the pores of the filter – media. These filters therefore act as

depositories of suspended solids and have to be cleaned or replaced frequently. Conventional filters are used upstream from the membrane system to remove relatively large suspended solids and to let the membrane do the job of removing fine particles.

In ultrafiltration, for many applications, no pre filters are used and ultrafiltration modules concentrate all of the suspended and emulsified materials.

ULTRAFILTRATION SYSTEM Efficient ultrafiltration systems utilise membranes which can be submerged, are back-flushable, air scoured as well as spiral wound UF/MF membranes. They offer superior performance for the clarification of wastewater and process water.

RO/EDI SYSTEM This system delivers superior Reverse Osmosis water purification solutions for the most high end laboratories and health care requirements.

The Continental Water RO/EDI system uses resin in a single bed configuration to deionise water. The deionisation process significantly reduces the number of bacteria in the water, as the electrodes that contact the resin create an electric potential that the bacteria cannot live in. While the pH shift in the cells helps with the removal of the SiO2 and CO2 and reduces bacterial growth.

FEATURES• Resin is continually regenerated without chemicals• Energy consumption is low saving you on energy bills• Water quality is constantly maintained • System designed to have various additional components based

on water purity needs and business growth• Compact size for easy installation• CO2 traps for the tank• UV Oxidisation and disinfection• Sterile environment• Finest quality materials used in the manufacturing

WHAT IS THE EVERCLEAN RINSE SYSTEM?If your system has a raw water flush or no flush, dissolved solids travel through the membrane when the system is idle and appear in the product water upon start-up. Accelerated membrane fouling also occurs, decreasing membrane life and increasing maintenance costs. Kinetico’s patented EverClean rinse eliminates the potential for low quality start-up water and extends membrane life. The EverClean rinse is standard on all TL Series systems.

THE DESALINATION PROCESS DESALINATION REFERS TO ANY OF SEVERAL PROCESSES THAT REMOVE SOME AMOUNT OF SALT AND OTHER MINERALS FROM SALINE WATER. MORE GENERALLY, DESALINATION MAY ALSO REFER TO THE REMOVAL OF SALTS AND MINERALS.

INDUSTRIES

Salt water is desalinated to produce fresh water suitable for human consumption or irrigation. One by-product of desalination is salt. Desalination is used on many seagoing ships and submarines. Most of the modern interest in desalination is focused on developing cost-effective ways of providing fresh water for human use. Along with recycled wastewater, this is one of the few rainfall-independent water sources.

Large-scale desalination typically uses large amounts of energy and specialised, expensive infrastructure, making it more expensive than fresh water from conventional sources, such as rivers or groundwater. Desalination is particularly relevant to countries, such as Australia, which traditionally have relied on collecting rainfall behind dams to provide their drinking water supplies.

The traditional process used in these operations is vacuum distillation – the boiling of water at less than atmospheric pressure and thus a much lower temperature than normal. Because of the reduced temperature, energy is saved in the desalination process. The principal competing processes use membranes to desalinate, principally applying Reverse Osmosis technology. Membrane processes use semipermeable membranes and pressure to separate salts from water.

Reverse Osmosis plant membrane systems typically use less energy than thermal distillation, which has led to a reductionin overall desalination costs over the past decade.

SEA WATER REVERSE OSMOSIS This is a membrane process which does not use heating or phase changes. As a result energy requirements are low in comparison to other processes of desalination. The procedure of Reverse Osmosis in this instance produces drinking water from sea water and utilises the following components: intake, pre-treatment, high pressure pump, membrane assembly, remineralisation and pH adjustment, disinfection and control panel.

DEIONISATION IS THE MOST EFFICIENT PROCESS KNOWN FOR REMOVING DISSOLVED SALTS AND MINERALS FROM WATER, THE PROCESS REMOVES THESE IMPURITIES BY ION EXCHANGE.

Synthetic ion exchange resin with either hydrogen or hydroxide ions, release their ions in exchange for the positively charged cations or negatively charged anions which may be present in the water supply. An efficient mixed bed deioniser, combining both cation and anion resins, can produce water that approaches the theoretical limits of purity (18.24 megohm-cm resistivity at 25°C).

Mixed bed deionisation utilises only one ion exchange tank with cation and anion exchange resin mixed to produce an infinite number of separate ion exchange sites within the single tank. Water quality from a mixed bed system is much higher than separate bed, with 18 megohm-cm possible. In many applications, the mixed bed deionisers are preceded by separate bed deionisation units in order to get large volumes of water from units.

In separate bed deionisation, dissolved cations are removed by direction fed water through a bed of cation exchange resins. The water flows through a bed of anion exchange resin to remove the negatively charged fraction of the dissolved solids in the water. Separate bed deionisation can remove more than 99% of the dissolve ions in a water supply, depending on the constituents of the water, regenerant chemical type, and litres used. Product water quality from separate bed deionisation systems is typically within the 1 megohm-cm range, approximately 1 part per million as CaCO3.

Continental Water can provide any number of systems to meet your business needs. Our tanks are available in sizes from 7 litres with a flow rate of 3LPM to 100 litres with a flow rate of 100LPM. The larger systems can be also be arranged in parallel to increase flow rates from 200LPM or more.

All of our systems are serviced every 90 days and full installation and training is included as part of our Service Deionisation program.

SERVICE DEIONISATION (SDI) IS A KEY PILLAR TO CONTINENTAL WATER’S BUSINESS – IN FACT WE INTRODUCED THE SYSTEM INTO AUSTRALIA 24 YEARS AGO.

Sydney Water approached Continental Water 10 years ago with the brief of designing and installing a SDI system to service their water testing laboratories based in North Ryde. On a tour of the Sydney Water Laboratories, it became very apparent that without a reliable system there could be a very significant impact to water testing and water quality across Sydney if problems were not identified due to a laboratory water system failure.

The Sydney Water SDI system starts in the top level of the building. Located with air conditioning ducts and computer wiring is their five tank system. Various media

are housed in each tank with a specific task. Initially, a five micron filter removes suspended solids; once the water passes through this it then goes to an activated carbon tank which removes chlorine before it goes to a single bed and then into mixed bed media tank containing DI resin which removes the final impurities in the water to generate Type II water.

The tanks generate 40,000 litres of water prior to replacement tanks being installed by one of our NSW Service Technicians. However, water quality is tested by an in built monitor after tank five. If water quality should

fall below standard, an alarm activates in the laboratories down stairs to alert staff who can then make a call to organise a Service Technician to make a same day call.

Charlie Pierce, Laboratory Manager, Analytical Services told us on our tour “the beauty of the system is that back up water is stored in a 2,500 litre tank with a polishing system to maintain Type II water in specific labs. The drinking water schedule is not impacted prior to a service call as we have this back up water until the Service Technician arrives. And trust me, we know when there is a problem with the system as the alarm is loud!”

The high purity labs are equipped with Siemens Water Polishers so that any requirement of their rigorous and demanding drinking water schedule is met with the combined system from washing equipment to micro testing.

The greatest benefit that Charlie was keen to reinforce is that the Service Technicians and Administration Support “are always there within hours of a service call being made” and always have a solution to resolve any production issues so that Sydney Water’s schedule is not impacted.

DEIONISATION APPLICATIONS HOW IS THE MEDIA REGENERATED?All exhausted deionisation resin media is regenerated with a six-stage process including; separation, backwash, chemical regeneration, rinse, mix, and fast rinse. Media backwash removes fines and debris to media bed to maximise capacity. Regeneration chemical quality (hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide) is technical grade or better to assure quality regeneration, and minimise any contamination from the regeneration chemicals. Rinse water is processed through regenerated tanks until residual chemical is flushed from the system as confirmed by conductivity measurement. All tanks are thoroughly rinsed to quality specification before leaving the regeneration facility and prior to activation on-site.

HOW DURABLE AND TRANS-PORTABLE ARE THE TANKS?The tanks are designed for a maximum working pressure of 860 kPa, hydrostatically tested at 2000 kPa and de-rated for service to 340 kPa. Tanks are made of fibreglass-reinforced polyester with a 2½" threaded top opening. Upper and lower distribution system are of a slot or mesh strainer design to provide even distribution of water throughout the exchange column.

WHAT CONDITIONING MEDIA DO YOU USE?Each tank contains around 6.5 litres of high-capacity, 40:60, strong acid cation to strong base anion mixed bed resin. The media is solid, of uniform particle size and contains no plates, shells, and agglomerates or similar that might interfere with the normal function of the water purification system.

HOW EASY IS IT TO CONNECT

THE SYSTEM?The system is quick and simple. Inlet and outlet ports accept a ½" quick connect inert, double “O” ring sealed adapter. Compression fittings and ferrules suitable for use with ½" or ¾" high-pressure flexible LLDPE tubing are used to interconnect pre filtration, deionisation and post filtration stages and provide for easy replacement and movement of the tanks.

IS THE WATER PRE TREATED AND IF SO HOW?The feedwater supply shall be pressure regulated to a maximum 350 kPa and made available for connection through a ¾" or ½" female thread ball valve. Prior to entering the deionisation resin stages, the feedwater is pre-treated by passage through a disposable nominal 5 micron filter element (blown polypropylene type) for sediment removal. Filtered feedwater is then dechlorinated by passage through a disposable activated carbon filter element or tank. Both filter elements are contained in filter housings rated for a maximum working pressure of 860 kPa and de-rated for routine operation to 350 kPa. Filter housings are interconnected with a ¾" double thread 3.5 litre per minute flow restrictor.

HOW IS POST FILTRATION DONE?Product water exiting the Deionisation system is filtered to a nominal 1 micron using a disposable filter element housed in a standard filter housing.

HOW OFTEN DOES MY SYSTEM NEED TO BE SERVICED?Filter elements are changed every 90 days (maximum) or earlier if blockage occurs.

RAINWATER HARVESTING

RAINWATER HARVESTING SYSTEMRainwater harvesting involves the collection, storage and distribution of rainwater from the roof or storm water, which, depending on the type of filtration installed, can be utilised either inside or outside of the building. In commercial situations, rainwater is commonly used for cooling towers, irrigation and ablution facilities. Residential applications are predominantly for rainwater reuse in toilets, laundry and drinking. Due to rainwater having a near neutral pH level, treatment is generally simple and inexpensive.

OZONE GENERATORS REPRESENT POWERFUL, CHEMICAL FREE DISINFECTING SYSTEMS. OZONE IS A NATURALLY OCCURRING GAS CREATED FROM OXYGEN ATOMS WHEN EXPOSED TO UV LIGHT AND HV CORONA DISCHARGE

Ozone is recognised by its distinct smell and was named after the Greek verb ozein (to smell) and is the peculiar odour after lightning storms. Ozone’s odour is sharp, reminiscent of chlorine.

Ozone is a triatomic oxygen meaning it has three atoms of oxygen bound together. The third molecule can detach and apply itself to other chemicals or substances. This ability to attach to other substances means the ozone is able to alter these substances.

Ozone is more effective and faster acting than chlorine plus it’s environmentally friendly as it’s naturally occurring. It can not be stored. It is generated and used immediately.

Advances in electronics and science in the past decade have made it possible for Continental Water to develop and manufacture a range of modern, high performance Ozone Generators for a wide range of applications and industries.

COMPANY PROFILEPeats Ridge is located an hour from Sydney on the Central Coast hinterland. It is an area that has long been recognised for production of citrus fruit and vegetables. In more recent year’s spring water has become a thriving industry in the area due to the abundance of spring water fed streams.

One family that has been tapping into the areas abundance of natural resources for three generations is the Lentini family. Citrus farmers for 40 years; in 1998 the family started the Eastcoast Food and Beverage Company and today produce juices and spring water for national and international markets. The Lentini family tap into the natural resources around them, from their 22,000 citrus trees and Spring Water from the Kulnura Plateau, to produce some of the finest juices and waters on offer for end users.

Sam Lentini originally came to Continental Water during the start-up stage of the Eastcoast Food and Beverage business. The brief was simple – how do we keep the spring water pristine and bacteria free just prior to the bottling process.

“Given that the water is sourced from an underground plateau we knew that the water would be free from above ground containments such as bacteria, dissolved solids and suspended solids. The challenge was to keep the water’s purity once it was exposed above ground leading up to the bottling process. We knew that as soon as it went into a storage tank bacteria would be the problem” said Peter Croft, Business Development Manager.

“Sam and I discussed this at length and I devised a storage tank system which had to be custom built to work in conjunction with the Ozone Generator.”

The system produces 100,000 litres per day to meet the current production demands. Essentially water enters the tank from the top and is drawn out of the base of the tank. The ozone distribution system disperses the ozone equally throughout the tank and the dissolved gas rises through the incoming water. This counter current action provides

excellent contact of ozone through the water. An ozone residual monitor continually checks and displays the ozone level within the tank maintaining a constant level at all times.

When Sam was asked how his experience with Continental Water was, he told us “Continental Water was very helpful in the start-up stage of Eastcoast Beverages. We didn’t know much about the bottled water business and Peter was very helpful in terms of his time and advice. We designed the system together so we knew the business was getting what it needed.”

15 years on, Sam has had to replace the original Ozone Generator (after 8 years), the current model is still going strong. The system is serviced by one of NSW Service Technicians, Len Schuler, who specialises in the ozone category. Regular services are scheduled and if the system should fail same day service and loan equipment can be organised to minimise production down time.

It’s safe to say that today, Eastcoast Beverages are one of the most successful beverage producers in the area and it is reassuring for Continental Water to know that our ozone system continues to meet their growing business needs.

ULTRAVIOLET DISINFECTION IS THE KILLING OF MICRO-ORGANISMS, RANGING FROM BACTERIA ANDVIRUSES TO ALGAEAND PROTOZOA.

One advantage of UV treatment is that it is a faster method of disinfecting water than chlorine and does away with the need for cumbersome tanks and harmful chemicals. UV treatment systems are also extremely cost efficient!

People often wonder how light can kill bacteria. Ultraviolet technology has been around for 50 years, and its effectiveness has been proven scientifically and commercially. It is nature’s own purification method. Ultraviolet disinfection is increasing in popularity due to consumer concerns about chlorine and other chemical contamination of drinking water. It is suitable for small residential applications and large commercial projects.

DESIGNChlorination is the adding of chlorine to water in order to purify it and make it fit for human consumption. Treating water with chlorine prevents the spread of waterborne disease.

Chlorination is also used to sanitise swimming pool water and during disinfection stage in sewage treatment.

Our systems use sodium hypochlorite, which releases free chlorine when dissolved in water which allows the water to stay in storage to complete the disinfection process to complete.

ROYAL BRISBANE HOSPITAL It is not every day that you get a brief to install a compre-hensive water system in a hospital laboratory network encompassing four floors, 500 employees and applications from equipment washing to Microbiology and Biochem-istry. Teamed with a back up system, testing system, water storage facility and Type I, II and III production abilities as well as a regular service schedule. The service schedule is managed by hospital trade employees, contractors and the Continental Water Service Technicians.

Continental Water received this brief from Royal Brisbane Hospital six years ago and designed, installed and now service what is one of the most cutting edge Pure Water combined water systems in the country.

Shane Armitage, Support Services Manager for Pathology Queensland explained how the system functions on a business as usual level, as well as the various

support systems to ensure that the 24/7 operation of the laboratories are not impacted should a system fail. “Essentially the system is designed to produce and store 10,000 litres of Type II water per day. It is a duplicated system (System A and System B) so that if one system should fail or is due for a service, the second system can take over to meet the needs of the hospital laboratories”.

Each system has a Kinetico filter, softener and carbon system, followed by a Reverse Osmosis system. The water is then pumped to the laboratories via Ion Exchange polishers, ultraviolet treatment and 0.2 micron filters.

The system also includes a 2,000 litre storage tank with a ultraviolet and Ozone combined system attached to it so that the water purity is maintained whilst in storage. Given the high volumes of water in production it was

agreed that a Kinetico non-electric system would be beneficial as it operates on water pressure not electricity saving power costs in the long term. Plus it can keep operating should there be a power outage or natural disaster, such as the Brisbane floods a few years ago.

Shane explained the rigorous testing the water under goes each day. “We test the water every day for resistivity, monthly for bacteria and have the systems serviced twice a year by the Continental Water Service Technicians to make sure all the mechanical and hard ware equipment is functioning.

The beauty of the system is that it allows us to always shut down one system and switch it over if we notice our water restivity has hit 10 megohm or there is an emergency. As a further safety measure should both System A and B fail portable DI tanks are available which

can be attached to a tap to deliver Type II water for 48 hours. We also have a 90 day SDI service contract in place with Continental Water. However if a systems SDI tanks needs replacing we just call the guys and they switch over the SDI tanks within a few hours of the call”.

Shane did point out that the SDI system and related 90 day service program is highly effective as the water quality from the SDI system is such that the RO system does not have to work as hard which has meant the membranes life has been extended well beyond the normal two years.

When asked if he was happy with the system, Shane highlighted “I’m told that our water system is state of the art by visitors to the laboratories. We have more than enough quality water to meet the demands of the laboratories and all their pure water needs.”

“Essentially the system is designed to produce and store 10,000 litres of Type II water per day. It is a duplicated system (System A and System B) so that if one system should fail or is due for a service the second system can take over to meet the needs of the hospital laboratories.
