range of water flow rates from 5 to 300l/ minute, making it compatible with most pipelines, including trunk mains. With Aquadose’s plug-and-play flowline adapters, the AD1-150 can be used to treat flow rates up to an impressive 370l/second or 32,000 m3/day.
Intelligent operations
The AD1-150 dosing system weighs less than 20kg and is housed in a single portable unit, which makes transportation and set-up straightforward. It is battery- powered, and one charge can last up to 14 hours, making it practical on sites where a power supply is not easily accessible.
The system can calculate the required quantity of chemicals needed once the pipe dimensions have been inputted into the touchscreen control panel, further reducing preparation work.
The control panel is designed to be user- friendly, to ensure setup and management of the dosing regime is straightforward, with easily adjustable parameters monitored via a touchscreen.
The AD1-150 system records and securely uploads all data to PIPE, AHS’s cloud-hosted customer dashboard, allowing operators to easily monitor and analyse chlorination activity, with greater transparency and pipeline commissioning compliance alongside pressure testing data. For remote working, the system also comes with a mobile app that allows the chlorination and de-chlorination process to be monitored from anywhere on any device.
FOLLOW US Strong partnerships
AHS Pipeline Innovation is driven by improving the safety, efficiency, and compliance of all pipeline commissioning activities, reflected in the extension of its services from pressure testing to include chlorination, through its partnership with Aquadose.
Dave Watkins, managing director of Aquadose said, “Since 2018, Aquadose has collaborated closely with AHS to meet client needs on high-profile mains commissioning projects. This collaboration
Tony Kitchen, technical director at AHS said, “The AD1-150 is a brilliant chlorination system and the team at AHS is excited offer it for hire in collaboration with our partners at Aquadose. The two companies' powerful synergy, built on mutual trust and shared technical expertise, has allowed AHS to become involved in some cutting-edge projects, bringing exciting new innovations to the industry.”
As with all AHS fleet hired products, remote and onsite assistance will be available on request as part of the partnership.
Nextech tackles PFAS with innovative new removal Technology
To help address the crucial issue of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) that contaminate drinking water, Nextech has been awarded a six-figure grant from the United Kingdom Government’s Innovate UK* organisation.
Unlike several methods employed by the water industry (such as reverse osmosis, ion- exchange resins and granular activated carbon), Nextech’s SMZ has the desired characteristics to successfully bind PFAS in existing infrastructure. Nextech has combined two highly innovative technologies to achieve this; the first a low-cost clinoptilolite capture/filter, conditioned with a natural surfactant formulation (FGX3) to remove anionic substances – plus electro coagulation to extract the PFAS in back-wash effluents.
‘Powerful and cost-effective retro-fit solution’ Steve Fox, President of Nextech, commented: “PFAS, the ‘forever chemicals’ that can take
