The brand new Seymour Capilano Water Filtration Plant uses filtration to reduce turbidity and UV disinfection for it's primary disinfection. Lime and carbon dioxide are added prior to distribution to adjust alkalinity and add corrosion protection to the water system. Sodium Hypochlorite is added for the secondary disinfection. Therefore, the consumption of chlorine required for disinfection is greatly reduced. The new filtration plant can provide up to 1.8 billion litres of water every day when fully operational.
Metro Vancouver selected ITT Wedeco as the supplier of the ultraviolet disinfection equipment.
Through a detailed evaluation process it was identified that the low pressure high intensity UV lamp technology provided a favourable life cycle cost when compared to other available UV technologies.
