Filtration - Filtration Systems

Filtration technology, from simple media filters to advanced membranes, is central to municipal and industrial water treatment systems. Interest in these technologies will grow in the future as shrinking water supplies and rising water costs put pressure on the market.  Suspended solids and other fine particles can be removed from liquid streams by passing them through filters.

Filtration, typically used as a "polishing" step, refers to the capture of particles by passing water over or through one or more media. Filtration is the key to producing high-quality effluents required for modern regulatory compliance or reuse.

Filtration system technologies used in modern advanced treatment are mostly well established. Changes in the marketplace are steadily moving these new methods from specialty applications to the mainstream. Two trends are largely responsible, reduced water supplies and stricter regulations.

We design and install water and wastewater gravity filters of all kinds--shallow bed, traveling bridge, deep bed, packed filters, pressure filters, precoat filters and more, which use a variety of filtration media including sand, gravel, activated carbon, and other granular media.

Our membrane filtration systems accomplish microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis.

We are also the industry leader in providing components and cartridge filters, including replacement cartridges for filters manufactured by other vendors.

Case Study: Retrofitting with Gravisand® Technology Solves Filter Problems in Bluefield, WV

After experiencing filter problems in their wastewater effluent polishing, the Sanitary Board of Bluefield, West Virginia decided it was time to upgrade their existing two pump traveling bridge filters.  Unfortunately, financial constraints were limiting the possibility of any completely new equipment.
