The contract is worth over £8 million over a five-year period and will play an essential role in the water treatment process at 14 water treatment plants across all counties in Northern Ireland.
Siobhan Sterling NI Water’s Water Quality Manager said:
“NI Water is committed to the highest standards of drinking water quality throughout Northern Ireland, and we are delighted to recently award this major contract to Chemviron.
“NI Water treatment works use a multi-barrier treatment approach to ensure that water is safe to drink at the customer tap. Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC) filters can be part of this multi-barrier approach.
“Adsorption on activated carbon aids in the removal of pesticides and taste and odour compounds. To ensure the GAC media continues to perform effectively, the media must be periodically removed and either recycled by reactivation or replaced with Virgin Carbon.
“We are pleased to have a partnership in place to continue to support this process, which will help us to continue to ensure the highest standards of water treatment for our customers.”
Chemviron is a leading global manufacturer and supplier of activated carbon technology committed to delivering high-quality solutions for safe drinking water and effective wastewater treatment.
Reinier Keijzer, President of Chemviron, added:
“We are proud to be NI Water’s trusted partner in supporting their mission to protect public health and improve drinking water quality in Northern Ireland.
“Our longstanding expertise in the supply of granular activated carbon, recycling through reactivation and practical technical support will help NI Water maintain effective water treatment while promoting sustainable practices.”
