TECHNOLOGY BENEFITS
Minimum head loss –
Water flows through the system by gravity.
Non-fouling –
System can operate under extreme fouling conditions.
Small size –
Footprint is about one-tenth the size of a similar clarifier/sand filter system.
Low capital cost –
Cost one-half a membrane system.
Low operating cost –
Low power consumption and minimal cost of replacement parts.
Simple operation –
System operation is simple and does not require constant supervision.
Rapid startup and shutdown –
Startup and shutdown is accomplished within seconds.
Minimum sludge generation –
Concentrated sludge minimizes dewatering requirements.
High flow rates –
Modular construction allows for parallel operation and simple scale up.
High removal performance –
Comparable in compliance performance to a clarifier/sand filter system.
High solids loading –
Not affected by solids loading fluctuations and levels.
High operating reliability –
Not affected by floating floc, fouling, or rapid changes in flow rates.
No periodic cleaning requirements –
Cleaning is continuous so no cleaning shutdowns are required.
No flow interruptions –
Water flow is not interrupted for cleaning of magnetic ballast.
No performance drop off –
No drop off in performance with time solids loading.
Rugged design –
Cannot be catastrophically damaged like membranes and resins.
High turndown ratio –
Zero to one hundred percent flowrate.
No chemical cleaning waste –
Membranes require chemical cleaning.
Rapid deployment –
Easily retrofits into existing systems.
Simple operation –
Easy to operate with minimum operator training.
