Cylindrical and ultra-resistant design

In order to manufacture this equip, Salher uses a GRP with isoltalic resin, which prevents corrosion and protects against UV radiation, providing the equip with total chemical and mechanical resistance to any type of adverse situation. All the metallic elements of the equipment are made of AISI 316 stainless steel.

When we talk about customised cylindrical design, we mean that its height can be designed to meet the needs of each client. Vespa also has a levelling system with adjustable legs for cases where the floor is uneven.

Vespa includes an adjustable clarified water collector so that the equip can easily adapt to changes in the loads and flow rates of the incoming water, and incorporates a transparent cover to reduce the escape of possible odours generated by the process and make it easier to visually check the inside of the unit. The sliding section facilitates maintenance work.

This DAF is a compact solution that meets the international dimensions of maritime containers, for shipment to any location in the world, and can even be adapted to existing treatment plants.

Flocculation system

The Vespa system has a flocculation pipe to achieve the chemical conditioning of the water made of thermo-welded HDPE, which offers greater resistance to chemical deterioration. Its structure is made of painted steel with C5-M corrosion protection (maritime protection grade) and has a levelling system.

Top brand panel board

The Electrical Department of Salher supplies Vespa fully automated by means of a SIEMENS PLC with colour touch screen. In addition, for remote visualisation and control of the installation, the control equipment of the treatment plant offers the option of a remote station with SCADA or GSM.

The programming of the panel board and the dynamic interface of the different screens facilitate the understanding and correct use by the operators in the plant.

Polyelectrolyte preparation system

Vespa includes an automatic system for the continuous polyelectrolyte preparation (UAP) and the addition of flocculant, coagulant and pH control and regulation.

This system consists of a hopper, an AISI 316 dosing auger, an agitator and a conditioning tank manufactured using the filament winding system, using isophthalic resin and glass fibre. This technique improves the mechanical and chemical properties of the tanks manufactured using conventional systems.
