Electromedia II - Turbidity Filtration Without Aluminum
Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness of water - the cloudier the water, the greater the turbidity. Turbidity is caused by suspended matter such as clay, silt, and organic matter as well as plankton and other microscopic organisms that interfere with the passage of light through the water.
Electromedia II is applied where high quality filtrate for process water is required. Applications for EM-II include process water for the semiconductor industry, preceding reverse osmosis units, deionization units, critical cooling tower make-up water, and certain municipal applications for potable water including color, odor, turbidity and ground water under the influence.

Turbidity is closely related to total suspended solids (TSS), but also includes plankton and other organisms. Turbidity itself is not a major health concern, but high turbidity can interfere with disinfection and provide a medium for microbial growth. It may also indicate the presence of heavy metals such as cadmium, mercury and lead or toxic organic contaminants.
Filtronics will design a simple, proven and cost-effective 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 II filters low proportion turbidity material to below 1 NTU without the use of alum or polymer.
Electromedia II is a unique filtration system integrating a special vessel design and a proprietary media. Electromedia II is formulated for the filtration of raw waters having low proportions of colloidal material and turbidity in the range of 10 NTU . Electromedia II produce filtrate qualities of less than 1 NTU without the use of alum or polymer.

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 30 to 2,300 gpm simplex systems.
- 60 psi pressure tank ASME code, stamped. (Higher pressures 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.
