(Photos) This series first shows a problem with demineralizer distribution. Note the uneven distribution pattern from existing hub and lateral. AWTS retrofit with header& lateral system filled available space, increased regeneration efficiencies and increased volume throughput 300 percent. Now note the even distribution pattern in resin.

Your existing water treatment system represents a substantial investment and Advanced Water Treatment Technologies Services has developed performance evaluation procedures that will show exactly where the problems are and the most cost effective remedies.
AWTS Retrofit & Equipment Rehabilitation saves you money.
(Also see Projects Portfolio on next page.)
Effective Retrofit & Rehabilitation is often a necessary blend of three criteria: quality, cost, and schedule. Advances in component retrofit designs developed by AWTS and other available treatment technologies are considerations along with capital and operating projections.
Testing and Pilot Operation are critical to determine the scope of full-scale system improvements. Site trials and customer requirements must also be taken into account. Industry as well as AWTS experience has shown that the more planning and engineering resources put into a project, the better assurance there is that the real issues are identified and resolved, and water quality as well as capacity are improved or maintained over time well after the retrofit project is complete.
Choosing Technologies and Selection of Suppliers. Whatever technologies the AWTS team recommends, it is their careful follow through that has brought so many projects to successful completion. Expertise from the OEM is included in the process along with careful oversight and communications between owners and team members is an important part of our project management services.
AWTS Training. After system rehabilitation and retrofit is complete, proper maintenance is a critical and often overlooked aspect of overall assurances that renewed and improved performance will be long lasting. Education in the form of training sessions describing new and updated maintenance procedures and standards are necessary. AWTS offers a program to plant managers to inform personnel in O&M and preventative routines that will protect the upgrade investment, keep capacity standards high, and significantly prevent the type of deterioration that may have been an issue prior to the rehabilitation.
