🔗 ESMIL x Probig® chain scrapers at a new water treatment plant in Ukraine
A new water treatment plant for a local water utility has been commissioned in Ukraine. The project was driven by the condition of the existing infrastructure, which had not been modernized for over 50 years, and by the fact that previously used technologies no longer met current drinking water quality requirements.
The new facility, with a capacity of 100,000 m³/day, covers the full water treatment cycle, from raw water intake from a reservoir to the supply of drinking water to end users. As part of the process line, six ESMIL x Probig® chain scrapers were installed in rectangular grit chambers.
➡ The units play a key role in the mechanical treatment stage, ensuring continuous and effective removal of settled solids from the bottom of the grit chambers. This supports stable and uninterrupted operation of the entire treatment system.
Why were ESMIL x Probig® chain scrapers selected for this project?
⚙️ ensure continuous and effective removal of sludge and floating contaminants
⚙️ offer high resistance to abrasion and corrosion
⚙️ feature a lightweight, suspended design that enhances operational safety
⚙️ require minimal maintenance, with the first inspection recommended after 5 years of operation
Initial feedback from operators confirms stable system performance, high build quality, and good alignment with real operating conditions at the water treatment plant. ✅
