Application

AS AutoMech have the solution for treating raw sewage to the desired discharge quality, as required by legislation. The African market requires a robust, reliable, and easy to operate solution with market-related capital expenditure. AS AutoMech has developed in conjunction with their technology partners a well-packaged product, using Trickling Filtration Technology, combining it with the ease of transport of shipping containers and LEGO type site assembly for a remote application at a mine or construction site camp, considerable fluctuations in both load and flow can be expected.  An effluent treatment plant to serve such a fluctuating load requires extreme flexibility.

Trickling filter utilize attached growth technology and would be the most appropriate technology currently available to treat a fluctuating inflow to the required environmental standards.

Micro & Ultra Filtration – MF & UF

Micro and Ultrafiltration is a membrane filtration process and provides an alternative to conventional pre-treatment. In this method water is only pre-filtered with a common screen filter before being filtered at high pressure through a membrane, separating the water from contaminants within it. Ultrafiltration (UF) is a cross-flow process similar to Reverse Osmosis (RO).  A pressurised feed stream flows parallel to a porous membrane filtration surface.  A pressure differential forces water through the membrane.  The membrane rejects particulates, organics, microbes, pyrogens, and other contaminants that are too large to pass through the membrane.  Ultrafiltration can be used on its own for water purification or as a pre-treatment for reverse osmosis.
