What are high suspended solids?
High suspended solids are high concentrations of particulate
matter that can cause increased sedimentation and siltation in
streams or rivers, which in turn can ruin important habitat areas
for fish and other aquatic life. Suspended particles such as metals
and bacteria provide places for other pollutants to attach. High
suspended solids or turbidity readings thus can be used as indicators
of other potential pollutants.
Total suspended solids (TSS) is a measure of the
concentrations and turbidity of the amount of solids suspended
in the water, whether mineral (e.g., soil particles) or organic
(e.g., algae). TSS concentrations are reported in units of milligrams
of suspended solids per liters of water (mg/L). High suspended
solids in water can come from many sources from natural erosion
to pollution. Land and urbanization is probably the greatest factor
influencing changes in TSS or turbidity in natural water.
Filtronics Electromedia®
III is your solution for filtration before high suspended
solids reach our natural resources such as streams, rivers or
oceans.
Modular Approach
Filtronics uses a unique three component modular construction
and custom design approach to each application. This design approach
is utilized in conjunction with chemical feed, sludge treatment,
and filtration of clarified elements to provide proven effectiveness
in water treatment, industrial waste pretreatment, and other conditions
requiring the separation of solids from liquids.
Skid Mount System
Filtronics offers packaged, skid mounted systems for smaller
discharge volumes. These provide a safe, one-pass discharge for
different types of wastewater, including recycled coolant water
or recycled parts washing water.
Advantages of Filtronics Modular Design Industrial system:
- Custom unique design for each application.
- Varied size of individual components without compromising
quality.
- Can be configured several ways to fit into space - around
corners, long narrow arrangements or consolidated into a square.
- Can be purchased as an entire system or any of the three
basic components individually.
- Engineered to be adaptable to every water and waste water
system.
- Greater price performance per square foot.
