The Volute is a simple and robust unit which is installed in more than 1100 industrial and municipal plants around the world.
Ownership costs of the Volute are extremely low as the units have large treatment capacities coupled with low power costs. Some plant operators have realised return of their investment in less than 6 months.
For durability units are constructed of stainless steel which means plant operators will have many years of trouble free operation. The standard unit is supplied with a flow control tank, flocculation tank(s), thickener unit, sludge discharge chute, filtrate capture tank and control panel. The flow control tank(s) can be modified to act as a chemical dosing / coagulation tank if necessary.
