PILOT WTS
When elaborating the Detailed Design for capacity expansion of the WTS, from 5 to 10 m³/s, SETEC prepared a study, including the conception, hydraulic dimensioning, detailed design, and supply of materials and electro-mechanical equipment, for a Water Treatment Station in reduced scale – Pilot WTS, with a flow of 20l/min. The object was to simulate and conduct experiments aimed towards the development of advanced technologies for water treatment, including start-up testing, up to operational support for commencement of operations.
