Application of Ram pump system for water treatment processing

新喀里多尼亚学院和国际探索工程有限公司正在合作开发一种新的无能耗柱塞泵，用于产生加压水和压缩空气。该系统可用于水处理操作中，用于过滤膜的现场清洗。主要的好处是通过延长过滤系统的维护周期来提高生产率。除了现有的水流提供的能量外，柱塞泵不需要任何外部能源;因此，拟议应用的另一个好处是减少温室气体排放。International Quest Engineering Ltd.将利用这一概念验证来设计专有的工业设备，这些设备可以在生产环境中进行测试，并进入新市场，特别是采矿业。本研究计划将利用学院在绿色能源科技方面的优势及能力，让学生学习有关以下方面的应用研究技巧：（i）水处理及过滤系统;（ii）技术草拟及设计;及（iii）离网技术及应用。

The College of New Caledonia and International Quest Engineering Ltd. are partnering to develop a novelapplication of the zero-energy Ram pump to generate pressurized water and compressed air. This system can beused in water treatment operations for in-site cleaning of the filter membranes. The main benefit is the result ofincreased productivity by extending the maintenance cycles of the filtration systems. Ram pump requires noexternal source of energy beyond that supplied by an existing water flow; therefore, an additional benefit of theproposed application will be the decrease in greenhouse gas emissions.International Quest Engineering Ltd. will use this proof of concept to design proprietary industrial equipmentthat can be tested in a production environment and access new markets, especially in the mining sector. Thisresearch project leverages the College's rapidly developing strength and capacity in green energy technology.Students involved in this project will learn applied research skills related to: (i) water treatment and filtrationsystems, (ii) technical drafting and design, and (iii) off-grid technology and applications.
