Cloth Media Filter
The Aqua MegaDisk® tertiary filter is an evolution of the original AquaDisk®, expanding on the reliability and exceptional performance, on a larger scale. The Aqua MegaDisk offers larger diameter disks and fewer mechanical components than the AquaDisk filter. This design results in the smallest footprint available for comparative hydraulic capacity, operating in 80% less space than sand filters.
Aqua MegaDisk Operation
Filtration Mode
• Inlet wastewater enters the filter by gravity via the Influent Channel
• Stationary Cloth Media Disks are completely submerged
• Wastewater flows through the Cloth Media Disks as solids are retained and stored within the depth of the pile cloth
• Gravity conveys the filtrate, collected in the hollow centre tube, to the Effluent Channel
• Heavier solids settle to the tank bottom
Backwash Mode
• Cloth Media Disks are automatically backwashed clean
• Disks rotate slowly for cleaning as filtration continues uninterrupted
• Backwash Shoes contact the cloth media directly and solids are removed by vacuum pressure from the Backwash/Solids Pump
• Backwash water is redirected to the headworks
Solids Wasting Mode
• Backwash/Solids Pump provides suction to the Solids Collection Manifold for wasting of settled solids
| Features | Advantages | Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Each disk is approximately 10' in diameter, the largest cloth disk available Eight (8) lightweight, removable segments for ease of maintenance Up to 24 disks in a single filter, capable of treating 91 MLD Utilizes exclusive OptiFiber cloth filtration media Fully automatic PLC control system Low hydraulic profile Available in painted steel, stainless steel or concrete tanks | Fewer filters required, resulting in a smaller footprint and lower capital and operating costs Low energy consumption since disks are stationary, except when backwashing Fewer pumps and valves needed means lower maintenance costs Higher solids and hydraulic loading rates | Tertiary Treatment Recycle/Reuse Phosphorus Removal Stormwater Ideal for Deep Bed Filter Retrofits |
