TECHNOLOGY AND STANDARDS

The water plants of DNP Water are employing world-class advanced water treatment technology and management system, automatically supervising and collecting data, enhancing the productivity and ensuring qualified clean water for users.

Upflow Biological Contacting Filter (UBCF) and Lamellar sedimentation

UBCF is an advanced Japanese technology which helps reduce organic particles in the water, thus decreases the pollution in preliminary water treatment.
Widely applied in current water treatment projects, lamellar sedimentation reduces the structure’s height, increase the flow rate and treatment effectiveness – a solution to enhance water quality and reduce operation costs.

Ultra Filtration (UF) and Reverse Osmosis (RO)

One of the most advanced water treatment technologies currently, UF-RO has high water treatment effectiveness, removes oil, metal hydroxide, glue, emulsion, floating solids, bacteria and most particles of more than 0.02µm in size with UF and produces pure water with RO filter, ensuring the best quality for users’ health.

Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA)

SCADA is the automation management system in industry with the functions of supervising and collecting data. Applied in the water production and treatement sector, SCADA automatically collects, manages and analyzes data to support production planning, control, equipment supervision and analysis of water quality…enhancing the effectiveness in production and management of water supply network.
