Supply and Installation

Baffle Curtains are an efficient and simple solution to improve flow characteristics/patterns and increase the effectiveness of water treatment in reservoirs. The vertical curtain panels are installed to direct and disrupt the water/wastewater through a set route from inlet to outlet. As the panels are designed and fabricated to suit the size and shape of the reservoir, features such as floor height variations will be taken into account during the design phase.

The curtains are fully welded 1.5mm Flagon Geo P/AT geomembrane panels, with uPVC pipes threaded through the top and bottom seams to allow the curtains to be hung from the ceiling. The Geo P/AT geomembrane has a smooth, non-absorbent surface and is resistant to bacteria, fungi and micro-organisms. It can be power hosed down, if required, as part of cleaning/maintenance works within the reservoir.

The curtains are fixed to the reservoir walls, ceiling and floor using 316 stainless steel fixtures and fittings and polypropylene tensioning straps. All materials used are Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) and Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS) approved products and are safe for use in drinking water.
