Sand Filter
Designed to remove excess suspended solids (SS) and biological oxygen demand (BOD) from a wastewater treatment plant
The sand filter meets stringent discharge consent standards above what is normally expected from a biological process or an industry standard clarifier.
The sand filter will remove typically a minimum of 60% SS and 40% BOD dependent on particle size distribution. The waste backwash water is then returned to the plant for co-settlement and re-treatment.
A wide range of applications across a variety of industries
Commercial sewage
Industrial wastewater
Water utilities and municipal wastewater
What are the highlights of our Sand Filter?
- Backwash removes solids trapped in sand filter media
- No need to inhibit inflow to filter during backwash cycle
- Minimal serviceable parts reduce planned and reactive maintenance risks
- Timed backwash sequence combines air scour and backwash
- Backwash pump for sludge discharge to ensure minimal manual intervention required
