Sundon Water Treatment Facility

Posted on Nov 28, 2024

As part of Affinity Water’s drive to provide high-quality drinking water, whilst protecting chalk streams and their wildlife, and maintaining the ecological health of rivers, they are importing water from Anglian Water’s Grafham Water Reservoir. However, the treated water from Grafham WTW has a different chemistry to that in Affinity Water’s network, requiring additional treatment. To address this challenge, a new treatment facility was constructed at Sundon Reservoir.

FT Water Treatment’s PF Detect was selected for the two dosing hoses that connect the dosing skid in one building to the point of application cabinet in another building. The flexible hoses carried sodium hypochlorite for a distance of around 50m. Due to the product’s in-built leak detection and the outer hose’s extremely high burst pressure, in the very unlikely event of a leak, chemicals will be contained within the hose and dosing will automatically switch to the standby line.

The use of PF Detect has allowed the client to transfer chemicals through ducts over a great length without the need for catchpots and rigid outer piping.
