Automatic Backwash Cloth Filters
Filtration

Self-cleaning fabric filters that remove suspended solids through automated backwash cycles without operator intervention or process shutdown.

Division 46 – Water and Wastewater Equipment
Traveling Bridge Filters
Filtration

Continuously operating filters with motorized bridges that clean media sections while treating flow, reducing downtime.

Division 46 – Water and Wastewater Equipment
Disc Cloth Filters
Filtration

Tertiary filters using rotating cloth-covered discs to remove suspended solids and phosphorus from secondary wastewater effluent.

Division 46 – Water and Wastewater Equipment
Automatic Straining Equipment
Filtration

Self-cleaning screens that continuously remove debris from process streams to protect downstream equipment in water and wastewater plants.

Division 46 – Water and Wastewater Equipment
Gravity Filters
Filtration

Removes suspended solids using downward flow through granular media beds, driven by gravity rather than pressure pumps.

Division 46 – Water and Wastewater Equipment
Pressure Filters
Filtration

Enclosed steel vessels that filter water through media beds under pressure, offering compact footprints for smaller treatment plants.

Division 46 – Water and Wastewater Equipment
High-rate Sand Filters
Filtration

Gravity sand filters that polish secondary effluent by trapping solids at higher loading rates than conventional filters.

Division 46 – Water and Wastewater Equipment
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Media
Filtration

Porous carbon media that removes dissolved organics and contaminants through adsorption onto its extensive internal surface area.

Division 46 – Water and Wastewater Equipment
Wash Water Troughs
Filtration

Collects dirty backwash water from filter surfaces, channeling it to waste while preventing filter media from escaping during cleaning cycles.

Division 46 – Water and Wastewater Equipment
Cartridge Filters
Filtration

Pressure vessels with replaceable cartridges that trap particles to polish treated water or protect downstream equipment.

Division 46 – Water and Wastewater Equipment
Bag Filters
Filtration

Pressure vessels with replaceable fabric bags that capture suspended solids from water flowing through the bag material.
