mid
kent water has a long
history of experience with water treatment.
Within our Project Services
team we have the expertise to project manage
the design and construction of new plant.

Coupled with our ability
to monitor and operate plant from our state-of-the-art
Control Centre in the heart
of Kent, and qualified field technicians and
engineers, we can deliver the full water treatment
package – from concept to plant operation.
As part of our drive to keep
ahead of the market we have recently teamed
up with world leading process plant designer
Black
and Veatch. This partnership builds
on our foundations of sound engineering within
the process discipline, joining expertise
in the design, construction and subsequent
operation of plant.
mid
kent water has undertaken
a programme of replacing or upgrading ageing
water treatment plant and pumping stations
during the past five years including key sites
at Trosley, Thanington (Canterbury), Forstal
(Maidstone), Goudhurst, Halling, Charing,
Bewl Bridge and Maytham Farm.
In every case the new installations
are un-manned, with comprehensive monitoring
and control from Mid Kent Water’s Control
Centre in Snodland.
Of these sites, Halling
and Charing were commissioned early in 2002.
The plant are similar in nature, with capacities
of 4Ml/d and 5.5Ml/d respectively. At both
sites treatment includes aeration, chlorination
and filtration within a pressurised system.
At Halling, interstage
pumps before filtration also boost the treated
water into supply. In the case of Charing
the treatment process includes 30minutes contact
before boosting into supply.
During a difficult
summer in 2001, with high water demand in
south Kent, problems were identified with
mid kent water's
Maytham Farm supply site. The Project Services
team undertook a fast-track investigation,
design and implementation of remedial and
upgrade works, including the following key
areas:
|
Replacement
station above ground pipework |
|
Replacement
booster
pumps to give flow and pressure controlled
delivery |
|
Replacement
delivery pipework with new control equipment
and run-to-waste facility |
|
Fully automated
pump priming, run-to-waste and into supply |
|
Refurbishment
of mechanical equipment for clarification

|
Modified treatment
and monitoring equipment to eliminate
station shut-downs |
