Onsite Water Remediation

Onsite water remediation systems, including wastewater and stormwater management, are essential in rural areas and locations without centralized treatment. Reliable systems are key to protecting the surrounding environment. Filtralite® Nature provides an effective solution with its unique porosity and high phosphorus removal capacity.

Effective Phosphorus Removal with Unique Porosity

Filtralite Nature is a fine-grained filter material, made of expanded clay, with a unique porous structure that creates optimal conditions for water to flow through the filter bed and maximizes the contact area for phosphorus binding. This design supports effective and long-lasting phosphorus removal. Phosphorus is removed through precipitation at elevated pH and chemical binding. Filtralite Nature also removes suspended solids and heavy metals.

When the filter material reaches its phosphorus saturation point, it can be replaced. The spent material can also be reused as fertilizer or soil conditioner, as long as it complies with local regulations for heavy metals and bacteria

Onsite Solutions for Rural and Decentralized Systems

Filtralite Nature is suitable for onsite water remediation applications, including wastewater treatment and stormwater management. In rural areas, constructing sewers to central treatment plants is often expensive due to long distances. Filtralite Nature offers a practical onsite treatment solution that protects local environments. Its stability, low maintenance needs, and natural composition make it ideal for remediation projects.
