Polatlı(Ankara) Drinking and Potable Water Treatment Plant has a great importance for the Environmental Technology applications in Turkey. Beforehand, conventional treatment plants were applied in municipal systems. These plants were come along with a huge ponds, massive contruction equipments and high investment and operational costs. From now on this membrane technology system solve the drinking water problem of Polatlı Municipality by placed in small areas and with low operational costs.

The membrane filtration system with a capacity of 54.000 m3/day (25 C) installed in order to prepare drinking and potable water for Polatlı Municipality. Raw water is taken from the brook of Yüzükbaşı and filtrated through membranes. The hardness is decreased from 55 to 17.

The Project in Polatli will be the first membrane technology system on drinking water application on Turkey’s Local Administrations and the system has the lowest investment and operating costs. Unlike the other conventional treatment plants; this system won’t have any sludge matters.
This project is financed by World Bank’s “The Feasibility Of Municipality Services” project credit.
