FilterClear®

High performance Multi Media Filtration

 FilterClear is a multimedia downflow depth filter providing excellent suspended solids removal and low back-wash volume. 

FilterClear®
High Rate Multi-media Filtration

FilterClear is a pressure multimedia filter technology capable of separating suspended solids from a wide range of waters with a comparatively high performance, even at high loading velocities.

FilterClear plants are currently installed at over 100 sites, treating waters such as secondary effluent at wastewater treatment plants, cooling waters at industrial sites and seawater at desalination plants.

Throughput ranges from 5 m3/hr up to 5000 m3/hr. Commercial applications include pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, cooling water and RO pre-treatment for various industries, distilleries and communal buildings including flats, offices, hospitals and hotels.

Main Applications

  • Desalination reverse osmosis pre-treatment
  • Tertiary sewage filtration for reuse or compliance
  • Industrial process, cooling, wastewater, reuse
  • Potable water from surface or borehole
  • Rainwater and greywater treatment
  • Phosphorus removal in combination with dosing

Key Advantages:

Proprietary stratified FilterClear® media of up to four layers, specially developed and applied over 10 years for exceptional performance.

  • High loading rate (25-50 m³/m²/h,
    i.e. 2-5x flow rate of competing technologies)
  • High solids retention (low pressure drop
    and long backwash interval)
  • High quality filtrate in a single step (SDI <3;
    NTU <0.1; BOD concentration <6mg/l)
  • Low CAPEX (2-5x less media, fewer vessels)
  • Low OPEX (no chemical use, low electricity
    consumption)
  • Low backwash volume (<6% of filtrate,
    small backwash tanks, better yield, less waste)
  • Small footprint (2-5x smaller filter area, smaller plant)
  • Low O&M (simple, reliable, easy to maintain)
  • Modular systems up to 1200m³/h per vessel

Since FilterClear was introduced to the market:

Tonnes have been treated by FilterClear globally

Key Features:

  • HIGH LEVEL FILTRATION
  • EFFECTIVE P-REMOVAL
  • SIMPLE OPERATION
  • LOW ENERGY
  • COMPACT FOOTPRINT
  • LOW CARBON

FilterClear technology competes cost-effectively with other multimedia filters, continuous filters, deep bed filters, disc filters and micro screens. It has a strong track record in conventional filtration applications and can replace ultrafiltration membranes upstream of RO membranes.
