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零能量柱塞泵的应用，以产生加压水和压缩空气。该系统可用于水处理操作，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。柱塞泵不需要外部能源，除了现有的水流供应；因此，拟议应用的另一个好处是减少温室气体排放。国际探索工程有限公司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，并进入新的市场，特别是在采矿业。该研究项目利用了学院在绿色能源技术方面快速发展的实力和能力。参与该项目的学生将学习应用研究技能，涉及：(i)水处理和过滤系统，（ii）技术制图和设计，以及（iii）离网技术和应用。

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.
