AquaPrime® Cloth Media Filter

The new AquaPrime® filtration system utilizes OptiFiber® pile cloth media in a disk configuration with three zones of solids removal to effectively filter high solids waste streams without the use of chemicals.

This system is designed to handle a wide range of flows in a fraction of space compared to conventional clarifiers.

AquaPrime is ideal for primary wastewater treatment and wet weather applications due to its proven removal efficiencies and high quality effluent, even under varying influent conditions.

Traditional Sand Filter System /Cloth Media Filter function comparison table
Benchmark:
1. Total circulating water volume of cooling tower: 2000 m³/hr
2. Filtration equipment is calculated according to 5% of the total circulating water of the cooling tower: 100 m³/hr
project Traditional Sand Filter System Cloth Media Filter
Filter Medium Quartz Sand Precision Weaving Cloth
Filtered Particle Size 1. 10μm
2. Improper operation is easy to occur, resulting in poor results.		 1. The company offers 5μm and 10μm diameters for single use selection.
2. The effect is good and the water is stable.
Material Cycle 1. Change the filter material every 2~3 years
2. It is not easy to change the material, and it needs to use mechanical lifting and manpower.		 1. Replace it once in 6~10 years.
2. A single piece of cloth and bracket about 25kg, simple demolition, can be replaced by human.
Backwash Operation When you backwash, you need to stop the process. Continuous water in and out, no need to stop when backwashing.
Backwash Volume Backwash volume is 6~10% of inflow volume. Backwash volume is 3~5% of inflow volume.
Inflow Pressure Pressure Flow Filtration, about 3 kg/cm² 1. Gravity Flow Filtration, less than 0.5 kg/cm² (saving energy)
2. The equipment is gravity-driven and can be field-configured to divert to a dike via a catchment tray or a catchment line without the need for inflow pumping.
Automatic Control Fully automatic operation, low maintenance costs Fully automatic operation, low maintenance costs
