Electromedia V - Unique Turbidity Filtration System

Electromedia V is applied where extremely high quality filtrate is required. Applications such as 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 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.

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 system to meet drinking water compliance standards based upon influent quality, economics and space management. Filtronics uses only ANSI/NSF Standard 60 and ANSI/NSF Standard 61 compliant media.

FILTRONICS ELECTROMEDIA V filters turbidity material below 2 microns including giardia and cryptosporidium.

• Complete Filtration Solution
• Proprietary Filtration Media
• High Filtration Rates

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 20 to 1,500 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.
