Tertiary solids filtration improves effluent quality
Scottish Water’s Iso-Disc filters deliver a far superior final effluent quality than what is required by the local suspended solids discharge criteria.
DATE 2023-11-28Customer's voice
The Iso-Discs installed by Alfa Laval on our wastewater treatment site in Fauldhouse West Lothian fully meet the design criteria stipulated by Scottish Water.
Graham Black, Team Leader at Scottish Water and Chris Purves from the Scottish Water Process Science Team
From an operational point of view the Iso-Disc filters are easy to operate and although there were a few snags to begin with they are now a very reliable part of our treatment plant. The effort and commitment we received from Alfa Laval during and after installation has to be commended.
