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.
