BI PURE WATER, INC.

Turnkey Water Treatment Plants

BI Pure Water (Canada) Inc. has been operating since 1995. The company was incorporated in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The goal of the company was to provide mobile water treatment plants capable of providing potable water, no matter what the source.

Currently we design, manufacture, and commission custom water treatment plants. Our focus centralizes on Potable Water Treatment Plants. We produce small resort to small community water treatment plants, from 20gpm to 15mgpd. Our focuses are chlorination, filtration and Giardia and Cryptosporidium removal. As the years have progressed, we have become distributors for Harmsco, UF Strainrite, Tekleen automatic self-cleaning filters, Bermad, PPG tablets and chlorinators, Minitwist self-cleaning filters, ATI water analyzers, and MDI float switches.

In 1999 we started manufacturing wire-cleaning plants for another company and thus expanded our manufacturing capabilities. From welding and fabrication of steel, aluminum and plastics, to designing and building control panels, we have gone to a full service facility.

Complete Water Treatment Plants

At BI Pure Water (Canada) Inc. we build packaged water treatment plants. Whether you need chlorination, filtration, ultra-violet, reverse osmosis, or a combination of one or more, we can custom design a system to suit your needs and local/regional health authority requirements where applicable. From design, build, to install, we do it all.

Piloting

Piloting is useful as a cost-effective method of designing potable water treatment plants where difficult water exists.  BI Pure Water Engineers and Technicians design the pilot plant, after examining the raw water analysis, to be scalable up to the eventual drinking water flow rate required.

Several types of pilot plants are available to process Iron/Manganese, brackish/saline, high organic carbon or chemical contaminated waters.  These pilot plants can include various combinations of:

• Chemical and Ultraviolet advanced oxidation pretreatment
• Sand, cartridge or membrane filtration
• Primary Ultraviolet disinfection and residual Chlorination

PLC Programming

BI Pure Water Technicians can program water treatment plants to monitor, control and communicate with local or remote operators.  Human-Man Interfaces (HMI) with touch screens are popular and offer effective control to operators.

Site Installation

We will travel to the site and assist in the installation of the water treatment plant.

This can include:

• Offloading the plant
• Setting plant on foundation
• Connection of equipment to supply and waste lines

Commissioning

An important part of the provision of a new water treatment plant is the proper calibration of the instrumentation and operation of equipment

This can include:

• Pre-functional checkout of equipment
• Pre-functional testing of control system
• Startup and demonstration
• Gather test and validation information
• Water analysis
• Technical manual delivery

Training

Even experienced operators require time to learn about their new water treatment equipment.  BI Pure Water Technicians can train Plant Operators during the commissioning period and after.  At any time we are available by telephone or email to help Operators solve problems.

This can include:

• Process review
• Training manual review
• Equipment maintenance
• Programming the PLC
• Fault diagnosis
• Questions and answers

Maintenance Service

Often companies find themselves without personnel experienced with maintaining a water treatment system.  BI Pure Water offers a variety of customized maintenance programs to suit your needs.

This can include:

• Ultraviolet lamp and ballast replacement
• Quartz sleeve cleaning
• Cartridge filter cleaning or replacement
• Membrane cleaning or replacement
• Problem diagnosis

UV, Chlorination and Fluid Control Systems

UV Systems

Ultraviolet Light (UV) is an effective germicidal agent. At the proper level of intensity, UV light is fatal to all micro-organisms known to inhabit water. If it does not kill the organism it will render it non-viable and harmless to humans.

A UV system is usually used in conjunction with a pre-filter system to ensure that the source water is of sufficient clarity. It can be added to a Reverse Osmosis system if bacterial (bug) growth is a concern.

While UV irradiation is not suitable for all applications it is very effective in water treatment for aquariums, commercial closed-looped systems, fish hatcheries, commercial fish farms and municipal systems (when used in conjunction with chlorination).

Range of UV systems includes:

• Open Channel Ultraviolet Systems
• Pressure Ultraviolet Systems

Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems

Reverse Osmosis (RO) is used to purify water and remove mineral and chemical contaminants from water. A RO system is usually used in conjunction with pre-filters. RO systems are sterilized periodically during the cleaning process. If bacteria (bug) growth is a concern then a UV Sterilization system can also be added.

Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems are available for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

Iron Removal and Manganese Removal Systems

We supply / manufacture units which will remove iron and/or manganese, from household to small municipal systems.

Iron and manganese are minerals found in drinking water supplies. These minerals will not harm you, but they may be objectionable due to taste, odor and turbidity problems in water. They can also cause reddish-brown or black stains on clothes or household fixtures. Health Canada sets the aesthetic objective for manganese in drinking water at =0.02 mg/L and iron at =0.3 mg/L.

Iron and Manganese can be removed from water by using a media that encourages reaction between the contaminant and oxygen present in water. This reaction forms an insoluble precipitate which can then be physically filtered out by the media bed. The media acts "catalytically", which means that although it triggers the reaction it is not used up as part of the process, thus giving long life from a single filter.

Choosing the best treatment for iron or manganese removal depends not only on the form of the iron or manganese present, but also on how much of the contaminant is present, the hardness of the water, temperature variations, and the water's pH (acidity or alkalinity) level. A choice of media are available, depending upon the chemical makeup of the water, a thorough water analysis is required before a suitable solution can be offered.

Chlorination Systems: PPG/BIP Chlorination Unit for Potable/Industrial Water Treatment

PPG Industries, a world leader in safe, simple and accurate chlorination systems, introduces a chlorination unit incorporating the Accu-Tab chlorinator and tablets. Unit manufactured by BI Pure Water (Canada) Inc. This unique combination provides a better chlorination system than gas or bleach for industrial and municipal installations. With its compact size, installation is easy. Pressure injection or Gravity feed chlorinator systems available.

Commercial Pool Chlorination Systems

Tablet Chlorination System for Aquatic Centers, Waterparks and Commercial Pools.

Accu-Tab chlorinators are built for high chlorine delivery rates in high volume applications, up to millions of gallons.

Water is the only moving part in Accu-Tab chlorinators. Setting the water flow rate determines the chlorine delivery rate.

Chlorinators are available in three sizes as well as in PowerPac units.

PPG Accu-Tab Tablets (Calcium Hypochlorite)

PPG calcium hypochlorite is a dry form of chlorine that is efficient and easy to use. In solution with water, it is used as a general disinfectant to destroy bacteria, algae, slime, fungi and other microorganisms.

Calcium hypochlorite is used primarily to chlorinate swimming pools, and to disinfect drinking water supplies and sewage systems. It is also used as a sanitizer in a number of food processing, commercial, institutional, and domestic applications.
