Water Treatment Project for a Higher Educational Institution of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine
Water treatment challenges arise not only in private houses, apartments, and industrial facilities, but also in educational institutions, where access to clean water is equally essential. Many Ukrainian educational institutions use water supplied from municipal water networks or wells that is unsuitable for consumption. This water is used for cooking, drinking, as well as for hygienic and domestic needs.
ZIKO received a request to implement a water treatment solution for one of the higher educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. The analyzed water showed excessive levels of hardness salts and iron. A specific feature of this project was that the reconstruction of the water treatment facilities was funded by the Embassy of the United States of America in Ukraine, which closely cooperates with this educational institution.
ZIKO implements engineering solutions for Ukrainian schools almost every month and already has extensive experience in preparing water of the highest quality. Thanks to this approach, pupils, students, teachers, and lecturers gain access to clean drinking water.
With the support of the U.S. Government and the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, ZIKO fully designed and implemented a large-scale project for drinking and domestic water treatment. Company engineers visited the educational institution, conducted an analysis of the source water in our in-house laboratory, and developed a comprehensive, customized engineering solution for water treatment.
The ZIKO solution includes:
- Inline coarse mechanical water filters (130 µm) that retain large contaminants and extend the service life of downstream filtration equipment
- Fine mechanical inline filters for removal of remaining fine contaminants and preparation of water for comprehensive treatment
- Comprehensive domestic water treatment systems that remove hardness salts, iron, and ammonium, bringing water into compliance with domestic and utility standards
Such water significantly extends the service life of heating systems and plumbing equipment, protecting them from scale formation and clogging
After that, the water is directed to adsorption filters, which ensure the absence of chlorine and organochlorine compounds.
At the final stage, water is supplied to high-performance reverse osmosis systems for drinking water, which further purify water from all impurities and bacteria, making it suitable for consumption. Reverse osmosis systems use semi-permeable membranes capable of retaining even the smallest particles. This water treatment technology provides high efficiency (approximately 99.5%) with relatively low operating costs.
To ensure water safety and the absence of viruses and bacteria, the system is additionally equipped with a UV disinfection unit, which neutralizes most known bacteria and viruses by exposing water to ultraviolet radiation.
The entire water treatment solution is also supplemented with equipment that ensures uninterrupted water supply and a резерв water reserve in case of outages, including:
- German-made Wilo pumping stations for distribution of treated water. These pumps are characterized by high power, long service life, and compact dimensions, making them highly востребовані for large facilities
- Plastic storage tanks for accumulation of treated water. Thanks to specially selected materials used in their manufacture, water remains suitable for consumption for a longer period
Our team personally carried out installation and commissioning works to ensure the highest quality of the final result. Thanks to the successfully implemented solution, another educational institution can be confident in the safety of the water consumed by its students. ZIKO continuously monitors the operation of water treatment systems and regularly performs service maintenance to guarantee consistently high water quality.
