Water Harvesting
In 2021, PKS installed a water harvesting tank and pumps for our customer, the HSE. This water harvesting solution is one of many resource management solutions which the HSE are deploying. The team in PK Services are quite proud of this installation. There is a significant uplift in customer enquiries regarding water management and as you can see by the project images, we are getting pretty good at it. Our customer wanted to collect rainwater coming and use the collected water on several services. Through the downpipe, the rainwater is drawn sideways through the vertically orientated stainless-steel filter insert by adhesion forces.
The unique fine filter harvests more than 90 % of clear rainwater and separates out dirt and debris. Then we run the water through Big Blue® Filters. In addition, we installed a LUMINOR UV Disinfection system. This protects the water supply and gives the customer safe drinking water. To check the performance and life of the UV lamp, we installed a Blackcomb controller. It indicates the lamp life remaining and total running time. We caught an image of our Martin in the bottom of the tank commissioning the submerged centrifuge pump. I am surprised he did not put a PK Stricker on that as well.
