Tertiary Filtration
As a cloth media filter, AquaPyr Ultra Low Waste Filters are a great fit post clarifier in biological wastewater treatment plants. Our 10 micron pile cloth can operate with filtrate qualities below 2 NTU average and take your 20 TSS / 20 BOD effluent to less than 5 TSS / 5 BOD in most cases.
Interested in TP reduction? Our non-woven filter medias go down to 1 micron nominal filtration.
Primary Filtration
An emerging application for cloth media filters in primary filtration, with the filter being placed between a municipal wastewater plant’s headworks/screening and aeration basin to reduce influent TSS and BOD levels by 40 to 60% in many cases.
AquaPyr’s patent pending self-cleaning but non-backwashing process generates ultra low waste volumes to be sent to the digester, dewatering, or plant EQ vs. the 10 – 20% that might be expected from other types of filtration in this application.
A great fit for overloaded, maxed out, smaller wastewater treatment facilities to extend capacity.
Cooling Tower
Reducing cooling tower TSS with side stream or full flow filtration reduces fouling, scaling, corrosion and operating cost of your cooling tower. A great fit for a gravity feed AquaPyr ULWF. Minimal power, minimal waste – Maximum benefit.
Surface Water Intake
Would you like to use less polymer and have less sludge? Put an AquaPyr ULWF in front of your flocculator clarifier and cut your chemical usage, improve your supernatant quality, and drop your sludge volumes.
Post Clarifier Polishing? AquaPyr? Absolutely. Plug and play in place of sand filters and cartridge filters.
MF/UF Backwash Water Recovery
Most MF and UF systems backwash 5 to 10% of the forward flow. That’s a lot of water!
AquaPyr is well equipped to take variable flows and high solids loading of MF/UF backwash event with our self-cleaning but non-backwashing process.
Recover 95%+ of MF or UF backwash volumes to tighten your system efficiency and save more water.
Water Reuse
Water Reuse. Often said, lesser done.
There is one certainty about water reuse, it always begins with some form of particulate filtration and the more efficient that particulate filtration the more efficient the water reuse.
AquaPyr ULWF’s are extremely efficient – save water, save power, lower landfill costs and other benefits.
Pre-Filtration to MF, UF, RO
Almost all MF and UF membrane manufacturers specify a 200 to 500 micron prefilter in front of their membranes.
Why not consider an AquaPyr ULWF? Super low back flow rates and 10 micron nominal filtration with a competitive cost and small foot print.
Just how much longer might your MF or UF elements last with this type of prefiltration? And don’t forget fewer CIP’s.
Aquaculture & Aquaponics
Aquaculture and Aquaponics are affordable, sustainable practices to produce food for the masses without massive land or carbon footprints.
These processes also have biological oxygen demand (BOD) that require high energy aeration to dissolve oxygen into the water. Why not cut the demand? Filtered Solids = Lower BOD.
AquaPyr = Less Solids = Lower BOD.
Storm Water
General Storm Water, Storm Water PPP – AquaPyr can offer some protection with sediment and silt capture and reduction. Maximize the value of your holding tanks and minimize the storm water impact of your project with an AquaPyr ULWF.
Did we mention that AquaPyr filters have an option to drain, clean and dry the filter media for long term dormant periods or storage?
