PF Detect Hose

PF Detect used in Europe’s largest state-of-the-art filtration system

By: FT Pipeline Systems Ltd

Published: February 3, 2021

In February 2020, a brand new state-of-the-art water filtration system, part of Heigham WTW, was officially opened. This £36 million project has been delivered by Anglian Water as part of its ongoing investment in the region. The new system will allow water containing high levels of sediment to be processed at the facility, which can treat up to 57 million litres per day.

As part of this project, FT Pipelines’ Water Treatment division supplied over 2000 metres of its flexible chemical dosing hose, PF Detect. The hose (along with various hose tails, clamping fittings and valves) was used to transport sodium hydroxide, ferric chloride, citric acid and hydrochloric acid from dosing cabinets to various points of application around the treatment site.

PF Detect, which offers built-in leak detection, has been installed by a growing number of water companies throughout the UK and Europe. It uses capillary action making it very quick and easy to install as it does not have to rely on gravity. It is lightweight making it easy to transport on huge drums.

BRP - Treated Water Project - Birmingham Resilience Project (2020)

Raw water has been collected in reservoirs in the Elan Valley in Wales and transferred 118km under gravity through an aqueduct to the water treatment works (WTW) in Birmingham for treatment and distribution to the city’s residents and industries since the beginning of the 20th century. The original infrastructure was constructed over 100 years ago, […]

Knostrop Sludge Treatment Facility (2019)

Over the last two decades the concept of municipal sewage being an expensive to treat waste stream has slowly become surpassed by renewable and sustainable opportunities that re-label wastewater treatment works as water resource recovery facilities (WRRF), sludge recycling centres (SRC) or sludge treatment facilities (STF) to name but a few. Incentivised by UK Government, […]

Mythe WTW (2019)

The Mythe Water Treatment Works is situated on the east bank of the River Severn, approximately half a mile north of the town of Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire and provides drinking water to population of circa 400,000. Mythe WTW came to national attention in July 2007 when the site was partially inundated with flood water from […]
