- Flexibility of operation
Vertical Pressure Filters provide granular media treatment in an enclosed pressure vessel. Multiple vessels can be used to allow operating flexibility and backwashing from in-service cells. Under 1 MGD (4 MLD), they are more economical than horizontal pressure filters.
Common applications include iron, manganese and arsenic removal from groundwater and industrial process water treatment. Vessel design and manufacturing includes non-code or ASME code with stamp for a wide range of operating pressures.
Manganese ANTHRA/SAND™ media when used in these filters, provides enhanced manganese removal at a cost greater lower than manganese greensand.
