A technical solution for a sensitive industrial site
A factory that produces propellants for ammunition is classified as a Seveso upper-tier establishment due to the large quantity of hazardous substances on the site. As part of the renovation of its storage facilities, the company Bonadonna called upon Deschacht for the supply of a DDSelect™, a fire water treatment system designed to guarantee maximum environmental protection in the event of an incident.
The challenge: capturing explosive powders from the extinguishing water
When a fire breaks out, the fire protection system automatically activates the sprinklers, which release large amounts of water. This water may be contaminated with residues of explosive powders, posing a significant environmental and industrial risk. It was therefore essential to provide an efficient collection and settling system to prevent these substances from entering the sewage system.
The solution: the DDSelect™ with vortex effect
To meet this requirement, Deschacht supplied the brand-new DDSelect™, a vortex-effect sedimentation system specially developed for the treatment of sensitive industrial wastewater. The system captures suspended solids (SS) present in the firewater before they are stored in a safety containment basin. The DDSelect™ consists of an HDPE tank Ø 1000 mm, with a total height of 2600 mm, equipped with a reducing cone and inlet and outlet connections Ø 250 mm. The Advanced Vortex components, developed by Hydro International, ensure the performance of the sedimentation process. The entire unit, integrated by Collinet into a double-walled HDPE manhole, guarantees high robustness and long-term reliability of the system. As specified in the specifications, the DDSelect™ was delivered to Bonadonna under the supervision of Vincent Brehl, Account Manager at Deschacht. Thanks to this installation, the sensitive site now has a high-performing and secure solution to prevent accidental contamination and protect industrial operations.
