It’s a fantastic occasion!

It was a cold morning in the middle of January 2008 when Mike Zverina, one of the funders of NuoTech Pty Ltd left his hotel in Brno in Czech Republic and started his journey through Europe to find the best technology for Australia to help reduce consumption of our most priceless resource – water.

It was not an easy task to find technology which would be able to meet all the tough requirements and be simple, reliable and affordable all at the same time.  After many kilometers of traveling on icy roads, in typical winter fog and many meetings with engineers and manufactures there was one technology which caught his eyes.  It was the TOPAS domestic waste water treatment plant.

In Caslav a small town near Prague (the capital city of Czech Republic) is where the company TOPOL Water Ltd. resides.  TopolWater Ltd was established in 2000 as the successor to the company of Ing. Jan Topol – Wastewater treatment plants. Up to 1990 this company originally acted as the design office and its main area of activity was the design of water-management structures and wastewater treatment plants.

In 2000 the status of the company changed from that of a natural entity to a corporate body and TopolWater, Ltd. was therefore established. The main area of activity was directed by the gradual development of the company’s own patent solutions and the resulting implementation from the design to the production of smaller domestic wastewater treatment plants TOPAS and the comprehensive deliveries of larger communal wastewater treatment plants. The TOPOL Waters Ltd accredited with ISO 9000 employs about 80 employees and exports its technology around the world.

Mr. Topol the proprietor of the company was very interested to know about our plans in Australia and he offered his help.  The TOPAS technology was identified as such the best system which would meet all requirements and specifications for the domestic waste water treatment plant, recycling not only grey water but black water as well and deliver crystal clear water. After further research and reading the Swedish independent survey ( http://www.topolwater.com/english/pdf/svedsko.pdf ) which was fully funded by the Swedish government  NuoTech based on all these outstanding results decided to bring this technology in Australia.

 Two of TOPAS 8 SF WWTP equipped with the built-in sand filter and UV lamp as the tertiary treatment of recycled water arrived into Australia in the beginning of January 2010. NuoTech Ltd Pty is in the process of installing two pilot projects in Victoria to certify this internationally recognized technology in Australia.

 The first impression of TOPAS 8 SF was overwhelming. The nice, neat and precise design of TOPAS   has attracted the attention of many people already after being offloaded in Port Melbourne.  Due to the unique and smart design of the TOPAS it can be transported on the Ute or the trailer town behind the car. With only one electrical component “the blower” the TOPAS is the lowest energy consumption waste water treatment technology available on the market.

 TOPAS WWTP’s offer extra benefits to competitive systems, at similar prices in terms of quality, reliability, efficiency or servicing requirements of the treatment plant. You will be able to evaluate for yourself just how easy it is to manage. We guarantee that no other domestic wastewater treatment plant will provide you with all these benefits.

We help you to save not only money; we help you to save energy, water, reduce emissions and most importantly to preserve a future for you and your family.

    • TOPAS – Ultraviolet (UV) Disinfection

    The Need for Cleaner Water

    It is proven scientifically that 85% of child sickness and 65% of adult diseases are produced by water-borne viruses, bacteria and intestinal protozoa such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia. Inappropriate water treatment can lead to heath problems – hepatitis B, tuberculosis, meningitis, typhoid fever, tricomoniasis, and cholera, glaucoma, gastrointestinal pain, salmonella, poliovirus, and diarrhea. In North America, E.coli O157:H7, an extremely dangerous strain of E.coli bacteria, infects more than 80,000 people annually. Fortunately, E.coli O157:H7 is easily inactivated by UV light.

    Disinfecting your recycle water with ultraviolet light (UV) makes good sense. It’s environmentally safe, it’s well proven, and it’s the way of the future for water disinfection requirements around the globe.

    The Process

    Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection uses a UV light source, which is enclosed in a transparent protective sleeve. It is mounted so that water can pass through a flow chamber, and UV rays are admitted and absorbed into the stream. When ultraviolet energy is absorbed by the reproductive mechanisms of bacteria and viruses, the genetic material (DNA/RNA) is rearranged and they can no longer reproduce. They are therefore considered dead and the risk of disease has been eliminated.

    UV-rays are energy-rich electromagnetic rays that are found in the natural spectrum of the sunlight. They are in the range of the invisible short wave light having a wavelength ranging from 100 to 400 nm (1 nanometer = 10-9m).

    UV, like distillation, disinfects water without adding chemicals, and therefore possesses some of the same benefits as distillation. It does not create new chemical complexes, nor does it change the taste or odor of the water, and does not remove any beneficial minerals in the water.

    Ultraviolet devices are most effective when the water has already been partially treated, and only the cleanest water passes through the UV flow chamber. TOPAS WWTP uses both a biological process and a sand filter to clean the water prior to passing it through the UV light, to provide complete water quality solutions. Ultraviolet light is a natural, cost effective, environmentally friendly disinfection process for use in homes where healthy water is a concern.
