Mellifiq Deploys Mobile System to treat PFAS, CAH, SS, Heavy Metals and Micropollutants

Mellifiq has been entrusted by a municipality in southern Sweden to deliver a temporary water treatment facility at a local viaduct. The system is dedicated to managing elevated concentrations of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAH), suspended matter, heavy metals, PFAS and micropollutants in groundwater pumped from a nearby underpass beneath an industrial railway track.

The contamination consists of a complex mix of pollutants typically found in groundwater impacted by industrial and infrastructure activity, all of which must be effectively reduced before the treated water is safely discharged to the local stormwater network.

To address these contaminants, Mellifiq has engineered a compact, fully containerized multi-stage process designed for a flow rate of 10 m³/h. The process combines aeration for iron precipitation, sand filtration and fine particle separation using our Water Maid solutions, and final polishing through granular activated carbon adsorption to secure compliance with the strict discharge limits.
