Through improved hydraulic design, plant specification, system controls, and water recovery, our solutions can be up to 50% more efficient than other designs and providers.
For sustainability, ECO water treatment is the new design approach developed by Devin, taking full account of Passive House and PWTAG Net Zero guidelines. ECO criteria commences with setting energy targets and then addresses up to 25 specific aspects of system design, including complete system headloss modelling, to provide for a fully optimised low-energy plant. We would be delighted to bring this expertise to the project as an optional service.
In our capacity as designers Devin recognises the opportunity to positively influence the long-term sustainability of leisure facilities.
Through early identification and careful design, it is feasible to minimise:
The following Devin ECO water treatment design measures will have a significant potential to positively influence the pool water treatment system sustainability characteristics, and as such to help reduce the energy and resource expenditure on the scheme:
