Hydro-FLo Multi Media Filters
The Hydro-Flo Multi Media Filter is specifically designed to polish
the effluent of our upstream treatment equipment. Greater solids
loading and/or finer particle removal can be achieved by using
alternate media beds. Special media is selected per application to
achieve the highest quality effluent while sustaining low-pressure
drop.
Polishing filters remove suspended solids and sediment from the
waste stream. Raw water enters each cell, passes through a selected
media bed where suspended solids are filtered out. Filtered water
leaves each cell and continues out through the filtered water valve.
The filtration process is automatic with raw water being fed to the
system using a feed pump.
Captured solids are backwashed one cell at a time per operator
input, differential pressure or a timed basis. Backwash is achieved
by using the filtered raw water from two (2) of the filtered cells
and diverting over to the remaining cell. All cells are backwashed
in sequence. The filtration process will continue while in the
backwash cycle. An independent backwash water supply is not
required.
Common applications for Hydro-Flo Media Filters:
• Iron precipitate
• Inclined Plate Clarifier carryover
• Pre-carbon treatment
• Cooling water
