The Liep\u0101ja Drinking Water Terminal achieved the highest national recognition in Latvia\u2019s construction sector for 2024: the Grand Prix at the Latvian Construction Annual Award<\/a><\/strong>. This monumental facility \u2013 capable of storing up to 97,000 m\u00b3 of drinking water<\/strong> \u2013 stands as a powerful example of innovative engineering, sustainability, and international collaboration. At the heart of this project lies FILTER’s engineering and automation expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A visionary infrastructure with global impact<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Located near the historic Karosta swing bridge in Liep\u0101ja, the terminal is designed to collect deep well water, store it securely, and deliver it efficiently to tankers for export via sea<\/strong>. The 2.5 km long pipeline network and marine loading platform make this a one-of-a-kind installation globally. Designed to maintain a stable 6\u20138\u00b0C water temperature year-round, the terminal integrates cutting-edge technologies and environmental considerations, including a fully green roof<\/strong> covering the massive reinforced concrete reservoirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FILTER\u2019s technological solution<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FILTER was entrusted with one of the most critical components of the project: engineering and automating the water intake, storage, and export systems. FILTER\u2019s role involved:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. High-performance pumping system<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FILTER developed a high-efficiency pumping solution<\/a> using five 350 kW pumps<\/strong>, each delivering 1,000 m\u00b3\/h<\/strong>, operating in cascade mode<\/strong> for a total flow of up to 4,000 m\u00b3\/h<\/strong>. These pumps are powered by next-generation IE5 synchronous reluctance motors<\/strong>, ensuring maximum energy efficiency and minimal environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All system components \u2013 including the one-meter diameter stainless steel pipes<\/strong> and oversized certified valves<\/strong> \u2013 are fully food-grade compliant<\/strong>, a crucial factor for safely handling potable water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Advanced automation systems<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automation was central to the terminal\u2019s success. FILTER’s automation<\/a> team, led by Andris B\u0113ni\u0146\u0161<\/strong><\/a>, implemented a redundant Siemens-based control system<\/strong> designed for hot-swapping<\/strong>. If one controller fails, another instantly takes over \u2013 ensuring continuous operation at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
