There is increased worldwide situation of water shortage. Moreover, there is increasingly strict regulation on sewage discharge, next-generation water and waste treatment systems requiring advanced, reliable filtration technology.
Fibre disc filters have become popular for tertiary treatment, particularly for high flow volumes that need to be treated with similar quality. Their small size, high percentage of capture, and ability to run continuously make them an excellent choice for today’s plants.
Why to Use Fiber Disc Filter in Waste Water Treatment Plants?
High-Efficiency Tertiary Filtration
One of the most important advantages of the filter is their high-quality tertiary filtration. These are based on the mechanism of mechanical filtration where closely knit fiber media form a barrier to filter suspended particles and clean water passes through. The allows for a successful removal of the fine solids and hence improving the quality of effluent suitable for reuse and discharge.
Low Energy and Water Consumption
Fibre Disc Filters use significantly less power and backwash water than traditional filtration methods. The backwash is performed only when necessary according to the level of water sensors, providing the most efficient power consumption. This is what makes filters a very economical and energy-efficient alternative for water filtration system with high waste water volumes.
Space-Saving Construction with Large Flow
Another significant feature is they are very compact for a high flow rate capacity. The filters are able to process high flows in a small footprint, which is perfect for small space installations. Available in several modules configured for various flow capacities, these systems provide flexibility for all conditions in both communities and industries.
Low maintenance and long service life
The overall construction is simple and rugged using no-rot synthetic fiber media for clean, dry air. An automatic cleaning operation reduces labor and maintenance expenses while also prolonging the life of the apparatus. For plants that are seeking long-term stability of operation this reliability is crucial.
Continuous and Automatic Operation
Want to know more? The fiber disc filters are ideal for continuous filtration in any modern plant. Suspended solids are deposited on the fiber media as wastewater passes from the outer edge to the center drum. At the onset of clogging, water level elevation causes disc rotation and backwashing.
High suction pressure washes trapped contaminates out of the media and sends them to the sludge management system before normal flow through the plant can continue with virtually no interruption.
Conclusion
The filters are the basis of modern water and waste-water treatment plants as high performance gravity filters hydrostatic separators offering up to 40% less footprint than some pressure systems.
Intended for the requirements of tertiary treatment procedures, they help wastewater treatment systems in providing a small investment with the best effluent quality. With over 30 years working in water and wastewater, Micro Transmission Systems has designed the filter to deliver exceptional performance, durability and efficiency – all helping sustainable water management of an ever more resource-constrained world.
