OptiFiber®
Pile Cloth Media
The original OptiFiber® pile cloth media is specifically engineered for water and wastewater applications and designed to maximize solids removal over a wide range of particle sizes. Deep, thick, pile fibers capture particles for the most effective depth filtration. OptiFiber media is exclusive to the entire line of cloth media filter configurations including:
Engineered Cloth Media Filtration
The newest development in pile cloth media is OptiFiber PES-14 all-microfiber cloth. It removes suspended solids, turbidity and fine particles up to 50% better than other filters or microscreens. Typical effluent quality is < 1.0 NTU and < 3.0 mg/l TSS, and has proven to reduce phosphorus to 0.1 mg/l or less.
Features & Specifications
- Woven, precision fibers provide strength and durability
- Discrete pile fibers effectively release solids during backwash
- Open backing minimizes potential for biofouling
- Variety of application-specific cloths including 2, 5 and 10 micron nominal pore size media
Benefits
- Low backwash volume results in water savings and energy reduction
- Provides phosphorus removal to 0.1 mg/l or less
- Ability to handle high solids conditions typical in primary treatment or industrial waste streams
- Low maintenance – easy to clean and replace
How It Works
Backwash System Advantages
- Filtration continues during backwash
- Initiated at a pre-determined liquid level or time
- Low backwash rates
- Less water volume required
- Low energy consumption
