Increases in production demand meant that the company had to expand its facility by integrating two new production lines. This expansion involved enlarging the well water treatment plant, essential for producing the steam used for all the facility’s services.

Extremely cold water conditions and stringent quality parameters further complicated the project, demanding innovative technical and engineering solutions to ensure treated water always meets the compulsory standards.

The facility’s expansion project included updating the instrumentation and process logic to improve operational efficiency and quality.

Designed and supplied to operate 24/7, the plant has a maximum capacity of 60 cubic meters per hour and is divided into two industrial lines, each 30 m³/h. A dual-train system was implemented to ensure greater efficiency and operational continuity. The main objective was to treat the well water through ultrafiltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO) demineralization processes.

The required parameters for the outgoing water quality from the plant specified a conductivity below 20 microsiemens and a pH between 8 and 10. Additionally, an in-line heating system was implemented to maintain the optimal chemical-physical characteristics for passing through the membranes, holding temperature constant between 11° and 18°C despite load variations.
