Water Treatment Engineering Since 1985
Water, Fully Engineered.
For the past 40 years, Kyungil Water Engineering has designed the value of water.
-
Seawater intake pump station
Vertical pumps lift seawater from the intake and send it to pretreatment.
-
Chemical dosing
Doses chemicals such as coagulant, hypochlorite, SBS and antiscalant at controlled rates.
-
Dual-media filter (DMF)
Two layers of media, anthracite and sand, remove turbidity and suspended solids.
-
UF membranes
Hollow-fibre membranes with fine pores remove suspended solids, bacteria and colloids.
-
Cartridge filter
Removes the remaining fine particles just ahead of the high-pressure pump and the RO membranes.
-
High-pressure pump
Raises the pretreated water above the osmotic pressure of seawater and delivers it to the SWRO.
-
SWRO
Reverse osmosis membranes pass water and reject salt.
-
Energy recovery device (ERD)
Transfers the pressure of the concentrate to incoming feed water, reducing the load on the high-pressure pump.
-
2nd-pass BWRO
Treats the first-pass SWRO permeate again to lower boron and the remaining salt.
-
Coagulation & flocculation
Coagulant is mixed rapidly into the raw water, then stirred slowly so fine particles grow into larger flocs.
-
Dissolved air flotation (DAF)
Fine air bubbles attach to the flocs and lift them to the surface, where they are skimmed off.
-
CIP skid
Circulates cleaning solution through the RO membranes to remove accumulated fouling.
-
Product water tank
-
Control room (PLC · HMI)
From the control room, PLC panels and HMI screens run the pumps and valves automatically and monitor and log operating data.
-
Sludge dewatering (filter press)
Presses thickened sludge between filter cloths to squeeze out water, leaving a cake for disposal.
-
MCC
The MCC panel distributes and protects power for each motor, such as pumps and agitators.
-
Post-treatment dosing
Adds chlorine and pH-adjusting chemicals to bring the product water to supply quality.
-
EDI (electrodeionization)
Electricity, ion-exchange membranes and resin remove the remaining ions continuously, with no chemical regeneration.
-
Mixed-bed polisher (MBP)
Cation and anion resins mixed in one vessel remove the last remaining ions.
-
ACF & water softener
Activated carbon filters (ACF) adsorb residual chlorine and organics, and softeners remove hardness such as calcium and magnesium with ion-exchange resin regenerated by brine.
-
Clarifier
Settles the flocs in the wastewater; clear water overflows onward and the sludge collected by the scraper is drawn off the bottom.
-
Pressure filter
Passes the settled water through media beds under pressure to remove the remaining suspended solids.
-
Sludge thickener
Settles the sludge drawn from the clarifier slowly, removing water and raising its concentration before dewatering.
-
CTBR auto-backwash strainer
Automatic backwash strainers screen the cooling tower blowdown to protect the UF membranes, flushing collected debris out automatically.
-
CTBR UF
Hollow-fiber membranes remove suspended solids and colloids from the blowdown before RO.
-
CTBR RO
Reverse osmosis for cooling tower blowdown recycling (CTBR): it removes salts from the blowdown and returns the water to the cooling tower basin. The concentrate goes to T-N removal.
-
Total nitrogen (T-N) removal
The RO concentrate passes through an electrolysis reactor and two denitrification towers to reduce total nitrogen (T-N) before discharge. Tower exhaust is treated in a deodorizer.
