Kruger Water Solutions
Applications
The same three separation platforms, configured for water that behaves very differently — municipal sewage, surface water, industrial effluent, storm flow and reuse.
Municipal WastewaterChemically enhanced primary treatment, tertiary polishing, phosphorus removal and works uprating
Drinking & Process WaterSurface water clarification, softening, colour, natural organic matter and algal blooms
Industrial WastewaterMetals precipitation, silica and hardness, FGD effluent, mining and process water
Stormwater & Wet WeatherCombined sewer overflow, storm tank treatment and peak flow relief
Water ReuseTertiary polishing, membrane and reverse osmosis pretreatment, closed-loop industrial reuse
Something not on this list?
High-rate separation applies wherever a coagulable solid has to be removed quickly and in limited space — landfill leachate, quarry and aggregate washwater, ballast water, filter and membrane backwash recovery, food and beverage effluent, textile and dye wastewater. If your water coagulates, it is worth a conversation.
Describe your water →Which platform, which duty
A first-pass indication. The final choice comes from the effluent limit, the sludge and the tankage available.
| Application | Usual first choice | Also viable | Deciding factor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chemically enhanced primary treatment | KWS-HRC | KWS-MAG | Sludge volume and downstream dewatering capacity |
| Tertiary phosphorus to < 0.1 mg/L | KWS-MAG | KWS-BF | How far below 0.1 mg/L the consent sits |
| Surface water clarification, large plant | KWS-BF | KWS-HRC | Raw water variability and land available |
| Lime softening | KWS-HRC | KWS-BF · SF | Sludge handling route for the carbonate precipitate |
| Combined sewer overflow / storm | KWS-BF · WW | KWS-MAG | Peak hydraulic rate and idle-period behaviour |
| Uprating an existing clarifier | KWS-MAG | KWS-HRC | Whether the tank can be modified internally |
| Metals precipitation, industrial | KWS-HRC | KWS-BF | Sludge density and metal recovery intentions |
| RO / membrane pretreatment | KWS-MAG | KWS-BF | Required silt density index at the membrane |
