Poultry farm
Maldà (Lleida)
When we take on a new project, one of the most challenging, yet also the most rewarding, aspects are those involving two construction phases, such as the one we recently undertook at a newly built poultry farm in Maldà (Lleida).
The requested project was for a complete system encompassing pre-treatment, water treatment, water softening for the cooling systems, and medication systems.
The initial construction involved two facilities, with plans to add three more in the medium term. In cases like this, the project analysis must be very detailed, not only to meet current requirements but also, and importantly, to anticipate future needs.

Following the necessary technical-commercial visits, we performed calculations with a view to a fully operational scenario in which all five facilities would be in use, requiring a daily water consumption of 45,000 liters for drinking water and 50,000 liters for cooling water.
While it’s crucial to accurately calculate this maximum consumption, it’s equally important to determine the minimum consumption to ensure that all systems function properly from the moment water demand begins.
Another key factor was the sizing of storage tanks, which are essential for effective disinfection while also allowing for daily water renewal.

For water treatment, we opted for disinfection using Biopure due to its effectiveness and efficiency, utilizing our on-site chlorine dioxide generator with volumetric dosing for its adaptability to the project’s specifications.
For the cooling systems, we selected an automatic dual-column water softener, designed to meet the estimated maximum consumption considering the hardness of the water.
For the medication, we created custom panels capable of delivering optimal performance from the beginning to the end of each poultry cycle.
Now, with all five facilities fully operational, and based on feedback from Gaspar, the farm owner, we are more than satisfied with the decisions made.
He highlights the strengths of the entire installed solution: the reassurance of correctly treated water, reduced daily monitoring and associated cost savings, and high animal conversion rates, providing a highly profitable solution for our client.
Additionally, our after-sales team’s quick response to any minor issues or queries has been greatly appreciated.
