Electromedia IV - Secondary Sewage Filtration

Secondary effluent waters containing suspended and settleable solids in the order of 50 ppm filtered with Electromedia IV will result in filtrate qualities of less than 5 ppm suspended solids as measured on a one micron millipore paper. No alum or polymer is required as a filter aid.

Filtronics Electromedia IV is your solution for filtration before secondary sewage reaches our natural resources such as streams, rivers or oceans.

Each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control, almost 8 million people get sick and over 900 die from drinking water that is contaminated by human and animal sewage waste. Untreated or ‘blended’ sewage puts more e-coli, giardia, cryptosporidium, and other deadly parasites, viruses, and bacteria into the waters that hundreds of millions of Americans swim in, boat on, and drink.

Studies show there is just over a 50% chance that people will get sick from swimming immediately adjacent to a sewage out fall where only primary treatment and disinfection is used. The risk of sickness is less than 0.1% where secondary sewage treatment and disinfection is employed.

The Federal Clean Water Act of 1972 mandates that all sewage plants provide secondary sewage treatment. This same legislation requires that polluted industrial wastewater be pretreated before release to sewage treatment plants.

When suitable water quality is desired for discharge to the ocean, landfill or for recycling purposes, Filtronics will design the proper treatment approach based upon influent quality, economics and space management. Filtronics uses only ANSI/NSF Standard 60 and ANSI/NSF Standard 61 compliant media.

FILTRONICS ELECTROMEDIA IV filters secondary effluent waters having suspended and settleable solids of up to 50 ppm to filtrate qualities of less than 5 ppm.

Our standard controls package uses a PLC and graphic display panel for automatic, unattended operation. Automatic filter controls include reset timers for filtration, backwash and purge. Backwash is initiated by time or differential pressure override. Controls are housed in a NEMA 4 or NEMA 12 enclosure.

• Flow range from 10 to 170 gpm simplex systems.
• 60 psi pressure tank ASME code, stamped. (Higher ratings available.)
• Filter tanks are carbon steel, with epoxy lining of all wetted surfaces.
• Backwash flow controls, air release valves, automatic filter control valves.
• Standard interior fittings: PVC, and/or stainless steel.
• Each tank fitted with 12” X16” access hatches, 6” x 8” hand holes, or manways depending on filter size.
