High-quality, high-volume filtration in less space
The Forty-X® Disc Filter is a high-rate tertiary filter that utilizes an optimized tertiary mesh (OTM) filter panel woven from 316L stainless steel threads to create a weave that improves solids collection and rejection.
The panel configuration includes a robust, molded structural frame and a pressure-assisted seal allowing the panels to sustain and operate at a higher head loss and providing higher throughput when compared to other woven polyester, flat panel disc filter designs. Our filter panels are also housed in a trash tolerant filter panel housing, which assures the unhindered flow of water between panels and rejects plastics, algae clumps or other floatables.
The inside-out filtration design of the Forty-X Disc Filter allows the water to flow into an influent center drum and then out through the disc filters capturing solids on the inside surface of the media. This filtration characteristic eliminates the need for a separate system for handling floating material and settling sludge. The captured solids are also backwashed into a reject trough using a positive pressure spray cleaning system. A backwash cycle is automatically initiated by a level sensor in the influent channel with filtration continuing during backwash. The modular design offers flexibility for a broad range of flows and
applications including municipal tertiary filtration, water reuse and
process water filtration.
