Solution
An array of pre-filtration systems each with 10 filter subsystems was installed at 14 separate locations
Results
Major increase in efficiency of the treatment process and reduction in electricity use for the customer. Reliability and low maintenance requirements contribute to high level of success as rural location needs a 24 hour a day, 7 days a week continuous functioning
