“CHEMILES” - Groundwater Treatment System without Chemicals and at Extremely High Speed. All for “Safe Water” and “Ecological Environment”

CHEMILES treats groundwater to the drinking water level without the use of chemicals.

Groundwater may contain iron, manganese, ammonium nitrogen, etc., which are harmful to human body. Therefore, drinking water requires to remove those harmful substances to a certain level although large amount of chemicals are used in conventional method. CHEMILES is a safe and effective solution to remove all these harmful substances without chemicals

  • Small infiltration area

    LV=500m/day
    Ultra-High Speed Treatment

  • Stable treatment performance

    WP Washing

  • Reduce the risk of creating harmful substance and environmental impact

    No Chemical Injection

  • Removal of high concentration substances

    Iron 40mg/L
    Arsenic

  • Removal of high concentration substances

    Ammonium nitrogen
    Manganese

Compare with conventional systems

Extremely high treatment speed

  • Approximately 100 times faster than conventional biological treatment system

  • 4 times faster than typical chemical treatment system.

  • Minimal space required for the system due to high rate of treatment

Reduction of running cost

  • Cost for chemical and personnel of chemical control is unnecessary.

  • Our patent technology “WP Washing” is automatically controlled by programming.

  • Typically, no adjustment is necessary for changes in raw water quality (seasonal etc.).

  • Sand filter media can be used semi-permanently.

Environmental friendly

  • No industrial waste from use of chemical is produced.

  • No chemical residue provides safe and reliable drinking water, as well as easier application to industrial water.

Mechanism of CHEMILES

“WP Backwash” for Maintaining
Stable Performance

W Backwash

W(Whole) Backwash is an intensive backwash to entirely clean filter media.
W Backwash is operated at an optimum frequency to avoid damage to the catalytic manganese dioxide and biological films formed onto the filtration sand.

W Backwash
P Backwash

P (Portion) Backwash is for cleaning of upper part of filter media (iron removal layer), which is at 100~400 mm from the surface.

  • Ammonia Nitrogen Removal

    Ammonia Nitrogen Removal

  • *Cultivation period ... 2 to 5 months (vary with the quality of raw water)
  • *The period until nitrification by nitrifying bacteria and formation of catalyst membrane (e.g. manganese dioxide membrane) deliver the required performance.

  • Outdoor Column Type

    Outdoor Column Type

    “Non-chemical injection”, “biological treatment” and “extremely high speed filtration” are the remarkable features of CHEMILES and the key factor for its successful production of safe and reliable water.
    Outdoor Column Type can be installed outdoors and in limited space, and is commonly used in commercial facilities for food processing, linen industry, hospitals and so on.

  • Open Top Type

    Open Top Type

    Open Top Type is the original design of CHEMILES and has been installed mainly in domestic water purifying plant. CHEMILES is grand sum of NAGAOKA’s water treatment technology and has been performing high treatment capacity in an environmentally conscious manner. Our rich experiences are contributing to sustainable water supply.

  • Reinforced Concrete Type

    Reinforced Concrete Type

    CHEMILES Reinforced Concrete Type is suitable for large-scale water treatment plants which require economical solutions. The first installation was in China and the demand of Reinforced Concrete Type is increasing not only in China but also among Asian countries where the needs for “clean water” is rapidly glowing.

Nagaoka Arsenic Removal Technologies

Contact oxidation treatment + “Premixed” Iron Solution (Low pH) Patent pending

  1. 1.Significant Initial Cost Reduction

    High-speed treatment sharply reduces system foot print, hence reduces initial cost.

  2. 2.Significant Running Cost Reduction

    Efficient arsenic removal method cut down chemical usage of the conventional technology to 1/3 to 1/10.

  3. 3.Simple Maintenance

    Automatic operation enables no chemical management and simple maintenance.

  4. 4.Significant Waste Reduction

    By reducing usage of chemicals, less sediments and sludge are formed during the treatment. Waste is only from sludge in backwash wastewater.
