Deschacht is innovating at the XLG construction site in Milmort<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In Milmort (Herstal), the XLG group is breathing new life into an existing industrial estate by establishing its new headquarters there. This large-scale project includes the renovation of the existing cladding, the construction of a new hall, and the landscaping. The works have been entrusted to Roebben NV and are overseen by the engineering firm Biemar & Biemar. Deschacht proposed an innovative and sustainable solution for rainwater drainage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A unique challenge in terms of sewerage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The original plan provided for the installation of two hydrocarbon separators to purify the rainwater. Site manager Wilfried Dibo of Roebben approached Deschacht's engineering department to optimize this plan with a more well-thought-out, economical, and environmentally friendly solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An innovative solution: the DDSelect\u2122 Vortex separator<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Deschacht proposed a unique system that had not previously been used in Belgium: the DDSelect\u2122 Vortex separator, developed in collaboration with Hydro International and Collinet. This is an external, compact, certified, and proven water purification system, integrated into a double-walled HDPE manhole. The technology operates on the basis of the vortex effect, whereby suspended particles settle under controlled swirling action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
System benefits:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
Significant restriction of excavation work and backfill volume<\/li>\n
Easy and safe maintenance via a manhole, without entering the pit<\/li>\n
Control of OPEX costs thanks to predictable maintenance frequency and sludge volumes<\/li>\n
Effective removal of particles between 200 and 50 microns<\/li>\n
Discharge in accordance with the European Urban Wastewater Directive (Directive 91\/271\/EEC) \u2013 View directive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
A strategic choice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
By placing the DDSelect\u2122 in front of the infiltration system, XLG and Roebben anticipate ease of maintenance. The DDSelect\u2122 catches the particles before they reach the infiltration system, thereby preventing the clogging of the geotextile and preserving the infiltration capacity. This choice increases the lifespan of the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rethinking water management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The installation of the very first DDSelect\u2122 Vortex sediment separator in Belgium perfectly demonstrates how Deschacht dares to think differently about water management. Moving away from standard solutions, this project becomes a showcase of our approach: daring to innovate, breaking away from traditional patterns, and offering technical alternatives that meet current environmental requirements. For us, every project is an opportunity to combine performance, simplicity of execution, and sustainability for responsible rainwater management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>","protected":false},"featured_media":3034,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"activiteiten":[177,174],"producten":[142],"class_list":["post-3032","realisaties","type-realisaties","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","activiteiten-engineering","activiteiten-weg-en-rioolwerken","producten-afscheiders"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nEerste DDSelect\u2122 Vortex-bezinker in Belgi\u00eb<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"De allereerste DDSelect Vortex-bezinker van Belgi\u00eb werd geplaatst door Deschacht.
