Vortisand® Crossflow Microsand Filtration Systems

1

Energy waste

Fouling (insulating layer inside pipes) by unfiltered mineral & organic particles and bacteria • Reduces energy exchange • Reduces service life of system

Fouled

Clean

Water waste

Unfiltered Total Suspended and Air Solids limits Cycles of Concentration at cooling towers • Increasing blow down

water waste • Increasing risk of

cooling tower failure • Increasing need for

filter backwash Poor filtration and biological loading limit the use of grey water for cooling

Health risks

Legionella feeds on unfiltered organic solids and bio particles • Increased need of biocides,

dispersants and maintenance

Suspended particles cause resource waste, health risks, and environmental impact

VORTISAND®

• Crossflow filtration at 50 m/h

• Down to less than 1 micron

• Backwash flow is 1/4 of flow rate

TRADITIONAL SAND

• Downflow filtration at 10 m/h

• 10 to 20 micron filtration

• Backwash flow is 2 x flow rate

Raw water

Filtered water
