Problem: Water Suppy water has turbidity, off color and contains hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell). You have ground water under the influence.

Solution: Electromedia® V
                 Turbidity Filtration Using Alum

Electromedia® V is a unique filtration system integrating a special vessel design and a proprietary media.

Electromedia® V is formulated for the filtration of turbid lake, river, canal, or resevoir water containing high proportions of colloidal material.

Electromedia® V system consists of an alum feed, a reaction vessel and a filter vessel. This combination will produce filtrate qualities of less than 0.3 NTU from raw water turbidities in the order of 30 NTU.




OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS

  • Filter Rate: 10 gpm per sq. ft.
  • Backwash Rate: 18 gpm per sq. ft.
  • Required Backwash Time: 5 minutes Maximum.
  • Clean Filter Differential Pressure: 2 to 4 psi.
  • Terminal Differential Pressure: 25 psi.

Electromedia® V is applied where extremely high quality filtrate is required. Applications such as process water for the semi-conductor industry, preceding reverse osmosis units, deionization units, critical cooling tower make-up water, and certain municipal applications for high quality potable water.

STANDARD EQUIPMENT

  • Flow range from 20 to 1500 gpm simplex systems.
  • 60 psi pressure tank ASME code, stamped. Higher ratings available.
  • Filter tanks are carbon steel, epoxy lined at all wetted surfaces.
  • Backwash flow controls, air release valves, and automatic filter control valves provided as standard.
  • Standard interior fittings: cast iron, PVC, and stainless steel.
  • Each tank fitted with 12" X16" manholes, 6" x 8" hand holes, or manways depending on filter size.

AUTOMATION

PLC based automatic filter controls include automatic reset timers for filtration, backwash and purge. Backwash is initiated by time or differential pressure override. Controls housed in a NEMA 12 enclosure.
