Agro-chemical and food company is a manufacturing factory whose main business is the production of alcohol from sugarcane molasses.
Davis & Shirtliff Ltd. was approached to provide a solution to treat their borehole water which was high in Iron, Turbidity and Flouride, rendering the water unsafe for production. We therefore embarked to design a water treatment system for the removal of these contaminants and provided an Ultra – filtration plant of capacity 10m3/hr to serve as pre- treatment, removing Iron, Suspended and Particulate matter and a Reverse Osmosis plant for further treatment and removal of fluoride.
Based on the factory's demand, our scope included the design, supply and installation of 5m3/hr RO system and 10m3/hr Ultrafiltration unit and Davis and Shirtliff was commissioned to supply and install the above equipment.
Upon commissioning, the treated water was tested to ensure compliance with KEBS and WHO drinking standards and the client is now happy to have a consistent and reliable source of clean water
Hydrolab engaged Davis & Shirtliff in the design, supply and installation of an 8m3/hr Ultrafiltration and Reverse Osmosis system to be applied in treating raw water from their borehole for the purposes of commercial packaging and bottling
D&S undertook the project, carried out detailed water analysis and designed a Reverse Osmosis (RO) plant with recovery of 65% i.e. treated water to the feed water ratio
Water to the Dayliff RO equipment is supplied pre-treated using a Ultrafiltration plant to ensure that the feed water does not have a Silt Density Index (SDI) of more than 2.5. The plant was designed to high specifications according to the Diageo Engineering Standards which are heavily based on the European Standards.
Our scope included the supply of the low pressures booster pump, dosing systems (pH, SMBS and Antiscalant dosing), Micron pre-filter (5 micron), DRO8/4 water treatment equipment, 5000 L Clean water buffer tank, Clean water transfer pump, the CIP chemical tank and CIP pump.
The client now uses this plant coupled with an automated bottling machine to treat and pack the renowned brand drinking water known as glacier water
D&S undertook a project to supply a Reverse Osmosis (RO) plant for use in supply treated water to the Sultan Palace Beach Retreat at an average rate of 20000 litres per hour. The recovery of the plant was designed at 70% recovery. (Permeate i.e. treated water to the feed water ratio).
To ensure that the water feeding the RO membranes is of the correct quality, water to the Dayliff RO equipment is supplied pre-treated using a Dayliff Filtration System that incorporates sand and activated carbon
The scope of D&S include the supply of the low pressures booster pump, dosing systems (pH, SMBS and Antiscalant dosing), Micron pre-filter (5 micron), Reverse Osmosis equipment, 5000 L Clean water buffer tank, Clean water transfer pump, the CIP chemical tank and CIP pump.
D&S undertook a project to supply a Reverse Osmosis (RO) plant i.e. DRO8/4 for use in supply treated water to the UDV/EABL spirit plant at an average rate of 15000 litres per hour. The recovery of the plant was designed at 70% recovery. (Permeate i.e. treated water to the feed water ratio).
Dembe Trading Enterprises located on Jinja road at the outskirts of Kampala, have four manufacturing factories (ice cream, potato wafers (Indian Kurkure), candles and Dairy products. Due to the stringent regulations requiring the treatment of effluent waste water before discharge, Davis & Shirtliff was approached to provide a solution for treating the waste water from their factories to permissible levels that comply with regulation.
Davis & Shirtliff was engaged by Wrigleys Co. to design, assembly and install a Filtration, Ultra Violet Disinfection and Distribution Skid for the factory cold water supply. Based on the actual demand of treated water, we supplied and installed a plant of capacity 20m³/h but with a provision for expansion to 45m³/h to cater for the factory's future expansion
Some of the key project deliverables were:
Davis & Shirtliff was approached by St. Francis Community Hospital, located in Kasarani Nairobi, to design and install a water treatment plant to treat their borehole water for potable use within their community.
