Above and beyond the overall system advantages indicated above, both systems have distinct advantages, incorporated into the overall design
Storm Guard Water Treatment System:
- Can be used over and over again – conventional in ground systems are built in place using materials (i.e. plastic liners, berm material etc.) which in many cases is not reused.
- Can be relocated with ease – conventional systems have to be rebuilt (components are typically not reused given that both ponds must be operational during the switch over)
- In-line flocculent dosing –metered turbidity analysis ensures that minimal levels of flocculent are dispensed
- Flocculants used undergo rigorous independent testing. Environmental safety is considered paramount when determining product selection
- Automation ensures system reliability – only that which is needed is used to treat influent water
- pH Control – delivering neutral water is critical. Storm Guard’s automation extends to pH control ensuring that the water we release through the entire course of the project is fully compliant – whether we are on site – or not. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is used to neutralize alkaline water (typically related to concrete pour and related run-off).
- The unit uses only minor power (electricity is used for the automation) – gravity and/or flocculants is used to reduce suspended solid loading.
Wheel Water International Units:
- Units can be used over and over – transportation and relocation within a site is simple. In ground units cannot either be re-built or re-used, constituent materials are ultimately discarded.
- Water used is cleaned and recycled – any water carried out by trucks leaving the unit is replenished using a simple garden hose
- Units can be powered electrically using 3 phase construction power
