Project: setting up a 4th purification stage
“At the sewage plant of Böblingen-Sindelfingen, an activated carbon absorption stage for the removal of micro pollutants was put into operation in October 2011. In addition to the required reaction tanks and sedimentation basins with a total volume of 9,000 m³, a storage vessel and metering system for powdered activated carbon was required. We deliberately chose a storage vessel and metering system that was separate from the other premises of the sewage treatment plant and that had enough storage capacity to accommodate up to two road tankers with 18t of powdered activated carbon each. The precise metering of the specified activated carbon amounts, as well as the secure and error-free operation of the system with the lowest possible maintenance requirements, was very important to us. Even after an operating period of more than 2 years, the gravimetric metering system provided by KOPF optimally fulfilled these requirements.”
