The X-Flow ultrafiltration system consists of four skids with a total of 96 Xiga 40 UF modules capable of processing 7000 m3 of water a day. The complete treatment plant operates automatically. Incoming water from the mains is stored in two 800 m3 storage tanks from where it is pumped to the four activated carbon tanks containing a total of 66 m3 of filter medium. After going through the activated carbon tanks and the organic scavenger, the water is pumped to the X-Flow skids which have a combined normal throughput capacity of 400 m3/h. The Xiga technology is effective in removing 99.99 percent of viruses and 99.9999 percent of bacteria, including water borne
cryptosporidium.
