Treating wastewater effectively requires filter media that enables stable biofilm growth and delivers consistent results, even under pressure. Filtralite® Clean is designed to meet these needs. Designed for both municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, Filtralite® Clean is a high-performance filter media ideal for biological treatment and tertiary filtration.
How Porosity Enhances Filtration Performance
Filtralite filter media has a unique porous structure that creates ideal conditions for water to flow through the filter bed, enhancing its ability to retain contaminants. This characteristic, inherent to the lightweight expanded clay material, increases the available contact area, allowing significantly larger volumes of water to be filtered through the same footprint.
Efficient Biofilm Support for Biological Treatment
Filtralite Clean acts as a dual-function media in fixed-bed water treatment: supporting robust biofilm formation while effectively filtering suspended solids. In some projects focused on biofiltration, Filtralite Clean is also known as “biolite”, but it is the same high-performance filter media.
Filtralite® in Tertiary Granular Filters for Improved Physical Filtration
Filtralite Clean excels in tertiary filtration, offering a significant performance advantage over traditional media. Its high porosity leads to:
Existing Filtralite filters operate around 15 m/h - 20 m/h.
