Filtralite® is a top choice for improving physical filtration in both single and dual granular media filters. These filters play a crucial role in traditional water treatment methods. Filtralite® stands out due to its ability to effectively filter raw or coagulated water.

​

Compared to standard filter media like sand and anthracite, Filtralite® offers numerous advantages thanks to its higher porosity. These include lower initial head loss, slower buildup of head loss, increased storage capacity, and reduced backwash rates. These benefits lead to longer intervals between backwashes, resulting in decreased energy and water consumption and higher water production, ultimately reducing operating costs.

​

Filtralite® solutions can be used in single media filters or dual media setups like Filtralite® Mono-Multi and Filtralite® Mono-Multi Fine. In dual media configurations, different types of Filtralite® Pure filter media with various densities and sizes are combined, further enhancing filter performance and production capacity.

 

Filters with Filtralite® can operate within a wide range of filtration rates, depending on the filter configuration and treatment process. Existing Filtralite® filters typically operate at rates of up to around 20 m/h.

 

Moreover, Filtralite® Pure is highly effective as a biofilm carrier in fixed bed water treatment processes. Its superior porosity allows for excellent biofilm growth, featuring a high number of macropores, lighter density, and outstanding resistance to abrasion. Biological Filtralite® filters can operate at rates of up to 30 m/h, making them a reliable choice for treating raw water containing substances such as ammonia, manganese, and iron.
