Illustrative PMA water landscape beneath an open sky

Chemically enhanced pre-treatment. Define the primary duty.

Assess coagulant dosing ahead of primary clarification against an agreed primary-effluent or downstream-loading objective.

Start with the process question

The pre-treatment duty starts with the role of the primary process in the wider works. It is a different objective from chemical phosphorus removal.

Put the information into context.

01

Read the water

Assess coagulant dosing ahead of primary clarification against an agreed primary-effluent or downstream-loading objective.

02

Connect the model

Compass CEP relates the appropriate incoming measurements to the coagulant demand of the defined pre-treatment duty.

03

Agree the evidence

Review solids and organic information, the clarification process, downstream requirements and current dosing evidence.

The measurement arrangement and control objective are agreed for the works. Performance is assessed against site evidence.

Start with the role of the primary process.

The CEP objective is established around chemically enhanced pre-treatment ahead of primary clarification. The model and dose output are developed for that duty, with the incoming characteristics and the intended primary-effluent or downstream-loading outcome considered together. This review keeps pre-treatment requirements distinct from phosphorus-removal control.

Is CEP another name for CPR?

They address different treatment objectives. CEP concerns chemically enhanced pre-treatment; CPR concerns chemical phosphorus removal.
