Filtralite is suitable for use in different effluent water treatment processes, both for municipal and industrial effluents, such as:
· Biological treatment
· Tertiary filtration
· Odour treatment
Effluent water treatment
Filtralite’s large pore volumes and surface areas make it an ideal media for biological treatment of effluent water. Biofilm processes are excellent for treating water containing nitrogen, BOD etc. Many years of experience has shown that Filtralite is the perfect media for these types of plants.
If extra strict outlet levels are required, tertiary filters are used. Filtralite has the ideal properties for use in mono- or multi media tertiary filters. The large porosity of the Filtralite grains gives low head loss and high storage capacity for suspended solids, resulting in long filter runs and low operational costs.
Filtralite can not only be used in traditional effluent water treatment, but also for odour treatment at sewage treatment works. The porous material is excellent for use in biofilters for removal of hydrogen sulphate and other biodegradable odorous compounds. |
