Pressure Filters

Horizontal Pressure Filter

Vertical Pressure Filter

We provide both horizontal and vertical pressure filters. Whether to design around horizontal or vertical filters is dictated by the particular needs of the end user.

Horizontal pressure filters are generally more compact than vertical filters, as verticals are restricted in size to 12' diameter or less - the higher the flow, the more individual vertical pressure filters you will require. Horizontals, on the other hand, can be up to 10'diameter and upwards of 40' long, allowing for much more filter surface area in a smaller footprint. Horizontals can also be divided into several cells, allowing for an in-service backwash, eliminating the need for separate backwash pumps.

Due to the nature of horizontal filters, i.e., shared cell walls and piping, the cost of horizontal filters is generally less than vertical filters.		By using horizontal filters with isolated cells, one filter can be taken out of service for maintenance or repair without affecting the other filters, a major advantage over vertical filters.

Simul-WashT System

Simul-Wash

Advantages:

20 years of successful experience.
Conserves washwater - produces 30% to 50% less backwash volume than other systems.
Retains media within filter cell - ask about media loss guarantees.
Low profile - easily fits into most gravity filters without affecting plant hydraulics.
Used with any manufactured or installed underdrain - existing or new.
True overflow collection design - solids travel in natural upward direction.
Removes floatables from filter - no protruding baffles blocking surface travel.
Prevents mudball formation - collapse pulse action scours and pulverizes mudballs before they have a chance to grow by agglomeration.

Description:

Simul-WashT is a proven sustained, simultaneous air/water filter backwash system that extends the useful life of filter media, minimizes backwash waste, prevents mudballs from forming and frees nearly all captured filter debris - better than any other backwash method available.

Simul-WashT employs a specially designed baffled backwash trough with a unique quiescent zone for optimum media retention during air/water backwash. Each filter control console is programed to ensure that collapse-pulse action occurs during the Simul-WashT phase of backwash, making maximum use of low air and water rates.
