Flocell

Simple to maintain and operate

• Low operator time - typical cleaning times are only 30 minutes once per week with no chemical cleans

• Open cell media reduces hydraulic loss and minimises pump size
  
  
• No parts, consumables or lubricants within the filter system​
  
  
• No hydraulic load, clogging or downtime
  
  
• Requires little or no periodic servicing​

 

No COSHH chemicals

• No supplemental dosing required to achieve 0.5mg/l Total P
  
  
• Significantly reduces iron outlet risk if ferric is dosed
  
  
• No chemical cleans

Design and manufacture

• System design life is 20 years and over 10 years for the media
  
  
• Containers sizes up to to 40ft - linking in a series or parallel​
  
  
• Skid mounted option available
  
  
• Modular off site build - simple installation
  
  
• Pump or gravity-fed options

P removal

P removal capability still requires chemical dosing to precipitate out the phosphorus as suspended solids.

Open-cell media

Flocell open-cell media has been designed to efficiently reduce water turbidity and retain particulate without increasing the pressure within the filter or reducing the flow.

 

Installation

• Simple installation
• Site commissioning and switched-on within an hour of delivery

Training

WCS Environmental Engineering offers full commissioning and training to customers with annual service contracts

Flocell XFM Fines Filters use air to clean rather than a traditional backwash cycle. Cleaning with air using the low-energy blower package agitates the media pack and removes contained solids during the short cleaning cycle.

Air reduces energy use, it substantially reduces the amount of water that is lost, whilst at the same time producing a highly concentrated and manageable effluent stream that infrequently needs to be removed or returned to the head of works to co-settle with incoming effluent.

Only the single volume of the filter is discharged when cleaning and with prolonged periods of operation possible due to high retention capacity the water and power savings are significant.  

 

The open cell media has been specifically engineered to optimise the mechanical filtration performance of the Flocell filtration system.

Flocell filtration system open cell media has been independently tested by the IFTS (Institut de la Filtration et des Technique Séparatives) in France and Cranfield University to offer vastly superior performance in terms of retention capacity, retention efficiency, energy consumption and power use.

• Patented technology
• Media life is over 10 years and only needs cleaning with system water
• UK manufactured from 100% virgin HDPE.
• Low hydraulic retention time (HRT).
• Biofilm enhances Mechanical Filtration efficiency
• Ability to manage a wide variety of load scenarios.
• Significant Reductions in:
  • TSS        
  • Phosphate
  • Iron
  • BOD
