• No chemical cleans

Training

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

Flocell XFM Modular Filtration System 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.

Independently tested 

Flocell filtration system patented 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.

The patented Flocell XFM 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.

The open cell media traps and settles the solids. Once the media reaches maximum capacity, the trapped solids do not get displaced and therefore do not get into the environment.
