This technology is used to simulate processes that take place in a water treatment plant and is aimed both at technology companies that develop impellers and instrumentation for their characterisation, and at companies that manage water treatment plants and other sectors such as the chemical or maritime industry.
The demonstrator has a test bench to evaluate the performance of the agitators and advanced tools to measure the behaviour of moving water. It incorporates sensors that measure water velocity and turbulence, high-speed cameras and vibration measurement systems that analyse how the currents generated by the agitators are distributed.
Using this system, companies can measure the turbulence and the distribution of speeds generated by the impellers, optimise the design and the mixing effects and ensure compliance with water quality regulations. In addition, the demonstrator's 550 m³ tank allows for safe testing without interrupting the operations of real plants.
