BackgroundTriggers to enter Water Treatment • Offered manufacturing & Distribution rights - patent • SA is getting stricter on pollution control • Government adopting a zero tolerance approach • Principle of polluter pays • Aquamag - Design, Manufacture & Distribute WT technology
Operating Principle • Magnetic Seeding Technology • Polluted water with high turbidity flows into a reaction tank containing Magnetite • Normal water treatment polymers are used to flocculate the polluted water with the magnetite • The flocs are then removed from the water by means of permanent rare earth magnets • Magnetite and water are separated from the pollutant particles • The magnetite is returned to the reactor • Treated water is decanted • The technology is particularly suitable for the removal of turbidity
Operating Principle Magnetic drum Shear Magnetic drum Polishing drum Inlet Polymer Clear Water Waste
Aquamag Introduces Test unit Ballast Water Clarification with Magnetic Separation
Manufactured in SA • Units are manufactured from a qualified Data Pack • 75% local content • Registered importer and exporter
Benefits Rapid Clarification • Small footprint (Space) - No large expensive land area • High Performance –Fast, high volume through put • No filters - No fouling • High water quality & Low waste • Quick & Easy to Install • Low energy usage • Easy to Operate and Maintain • Can be integrated in existing water treatment processes • Faster, better service delivery • Cleaner environment - adherence to regulatory framework
Applications • Industrial Wastewater -Mines, Factories • Municipal Wastewater – Sewage, other • Drinking Water – Clarification process • Recycle Process Water – Factories, Mines, • Cooling water – Power Stations, Paper, .. • Food processing plants • Cleaning boats, dairies, pig farms, chicken farms, abattoirs, .. • Dredge water – (Dams, Rivers, Sea) • Storm water – from polluted areas • Holiday camps, .. • Other
Simple Design • Components locally supplied and supported • No use of mechanical filters that require cleaning • Modular Design for easy maintenance and expansion • Different Sizes available e.g. • 2.0 Ml/day • 82,8 Kl/h • 1380 l/minute • 23 l/s • 5.0 Ml/day • 208 000 Kl/h • 3470 l/minute • 57 l/s Rapid water clarification with magnetic separation • Units can easily be added to produce more flow
General • Electrical Power supply - 3 phase • Waste – Dependent on type of water (1% – 10 %) • Magnetite usage – recovered and re-used • Polymer usage Dependent on: • water throughput , type of water, etc. • Cost per kilo liter – Dependent on type of water

Algae Removal Requires • Algae is a living organism that causes water quality problems in dams and rivers • It adds toxins to the water and its decay consumes oxygen from the water • Since it is also small in size and either float or sink depending on its food and light supply, it is extremely hard to remove from water Aquamag is a water treatment system that does not rely on gravity for settling or air for floatation and works effectively • Suitable systems for algae removal are: • membrane systems • Aquamag Hartebeespoort dam
Application – Storm water & CSO • Combination of Storm water and raw Sewage causes significant environmental problems • Also contain various levels of heavy metals, oil and grease, nutrients, sediments ,etc. • The major challenges with treating CSO are : • high flow rates, intermittent flows, contain fine sediments not easy to remove, lack of treatment space, etc. • Sedimentation ponds often only hold pollution until the next large rain event • Aquamag can be integrated into a pond to create a SMART Pond that can remove fine sediments that do not settle by gravity. • The SMART Pond can periodically be dredged to remove the sediments and the dredge water can be cleaned by Aquamag
Application – Phosphorus Removal • Phosphorus mostly in soluble form • it must be complexed or precipitated before it can be removed • Aluminium and iron based chemicals (alum and ferric chloride) are typically added to flock
