Filtration is the process of removing suspended solids from water by passing the water through a permeable fabric or porous bed of materials. Filtration is one of the oldest and simplest methods of removing solids.

OptiFiber^{® USA} cloth media has been carefully engineered for quality, durability and performance to provide several process and mechanical advantages compared to alternative filtration media. OptiFiber^{® USA} cloth media has been adapted to a variety of mechanical configurations to maximize performance and value. A variety of cloth media are available to provide customized solid/liquid separation solutions for a broad range of municipal and industrial applications.

AquaDisk^{® USA} Cloth Media Filter
• Utilizes OptiFiber^{® USA} cloth media.
• Up to 12 vertically oriented disks per unit.
• Gravity flow operation.
• Avg. hydraulic capacity = 0.25 to 3 MGD (950 to 11,400 m3/day).
• Fully automatic, PLC based control system.
• Inlet wastewater enters the tank completely, submerging the cloth media.
• By gravity, liquid passes through the cloth media.
• A mat is formed & liquid level in the tank increases.
• The filtered liquid enters the internal portion of the disk and is discharged.
• Solids are backwashed from the surface by liquid suction from both sides of each disk.
• Disks rotate slowly during cleaning mode.
• Backwash water is directed to the headworks.
• Filtration requires no moving parts.

Aqua MiniDisk ® USA Cloth Media Filter
