Enhanced High Rate Clarification
Actiflo® Turbo
Actiflo® Turbo Clarification
A water and wastewater high rate clarification process
combining microsand enhanced flocculation and settling.
Actiflo® Turbo is a compact high rate clarification process that utilises microsand as a
seed for floc formation. The microsand provides surface area that enhances flocculation
and also acts as a ballast or weight.
The microsand ballasted flocs display unique settling characteristics, which allow clarifier
designs with very high overflow rates and short retention times. These designs result in
footprints that are 10 times smaller than classic lamella clarifier or Dissolved Air Flotation
(DAF) and up to 50 times smaller than conventional clarifier systems, with a short start
up time of less than 10 minutes.
The Actiflo® Turbo process is ideally suited for the treatment of industrial process water,
wastewater, storm water, surface and ground water.

Applications
Industrial Process Water Applications
�
The Actiflo® process is an ideal solution for recycling valuable
process water, providing boiler feed, product water and cooling
tower make-up water to the oil & gas, power, mining & metals
and chemicals industries.
Wastewater Applications
Contaminated Water
Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO)
Actiflo® is especially suitable for removing heavy metals
and treating contaminated water, including arsenic, iron, manganese and for treating contaminated water for typical mine
wastewater and groundwater remediation applications.
Stormwater often upsets wastewater treatment plants as it
creates peak flows, causing plants to bypass most of the
incoming hydraulic surge. With Actiflo®, storm flows can now
be treated as they occur. Its compactness and quick start-up
make Actiflo® particularly suited to treating storm flows,
which by nature are unpredictable.
�
Tertiary Treatment
Whether it is used for suspended solids, colour or phosphorus
removal, Actiflo® can meet or exceed very high water quality
standards with removal rates usually in excess of 90%. The
same Actiflo® unit can be used for storm flow treatment in
peak flow and for tertiary treatment in dry flow conditions.
Wastewater
Actiflo® can be used as a primary clarifier for treatment
in most municipal and industrial applications. Actiflo® is
particularly efficient for algae removal.
Drinking Water Applications
�
The Actiflo® process can be applied to both groundwater and
surface waters where either better performance or cost
reduction is desired. It is ideally suited to treat difficult waters,
such as rapidly fluctuating sources or extreme conditions.
Actiflo® consistently displays efficient removal of turbidity
(high and low), colour, TOC, algae, particle counts, pathogens,
cryptosporidium, iron, manganese, arsenic and other typical
undesirable water contaminants.
Actiflo® Pilot Unit & Actiflo® Jar Tests
To demonstrate the effectiveness of the Actiflo®
clarification process, Veolia Water Solutions &
Technologies can provide the service of an Actiflo®
mobile pilot unit (capacity: up to 10 m3/hour).
This standalone unit can be easily delivered by road
to site and be operational within days.
Actiflo® Jar Tests can easily be organised at your
site, or if we receive water samples, to simulate
the Actiflo® operational conditions and help
quickly ascertain whether Actiflo® is suitable for
your application.
The Actiflo® process is currently in operation worldwide in
small communities as well as large metropolitan areas to
provide high quality drinking water: Queenstown
(Tasmania), Quebec City (Canada), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia),
Paris (France), Beijing /Shanghai (China), etc.

• Primary wastewater or stormflows:
120 m/h - 150 m/h
Before & After Actiflo® Treatment
Actiflo® Turbo with High Concentration Sludge (HCS) Option
For applications requiring minimum sludge production, the High
Concentration Sludge (HCS) option is an Actiflo® Turbo equipped with an
additional sludge recirculation loop.
The design of the loop allows for the volume of sludge produced to be
reduced by 80 to 90%, and increases sludge concentration in the reject
by a factor of 8 to 10 times (up to 3% solids depending on the nature of
the sludge). HCS also reduces sand loss through waste.
The HCS option is a benefit for producers who wish to minimise sludge
volumes and can mean:
>> Lower capital and operating costs (smaller sludge treatment plant,
reduced maintenance and pumping costs)
>> Smaller evaporating ponds
>> Shorter batch process duration (e.g. plate/frame filtration)
Actidisk™ Process (Actiflo® + Hydrotech® Discfilters)
To achieve clarification and filtration of high suspended solids
water, or phosphorous removal, the Actiflo®process followed by
Discfilters is recommended. This compact and efficient process is
called Actidisk™.
Case Studies: 70 MLD Goro Nickel Effluent Polishing Plant (Vale
Inco New Caledonia) to remove suspended solids from the acidic
wastewater neutralisation plant and the conventional clarifiers to
produce high quality treated water suitable for discharge into the
sensitive marine environment.
Actidisk™ is also used at the Stratford Peaker Power Project
(Origin Energy) in New Zealand to treat river water and produce
140 kilolitres/hour of clarified and filtered water for the Stratford
Peaker Power Station to use as cooling water, and after further
treatment for injection into gas turbines.

Actiflo® Carb
Recirculation
Hydrocyclone
PAC
recirculation
Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) has a micro
porous structure that physically adsorbs water
pollutants. Those compounds to be eliminated
are trapped in the PAC micro-pores which offer
a very large specific adsorption surface area.
The Actiflo® Carb process ensures a high
elimination efficiency of pollutants, hence
contributing significantly to the improvement
of water quality.
