SuperDisc™
Fine Solids Disc Filtration

Equipment Overview :
 

INTELLIGENT DESIGN
Consisting of multiple rotating filter discs, the SuperDisc™ filter features a well proven system that uses fine woven filter media.  This sophisticated design produces a highly effective filtration process that can achieve high filtration efficiencies. 

HOW IT WORKS
Water to be filtered is guided into the rotor drum and flows by gravity into the filter discs through openings in the drum, and passes through the filter media on the sides of the discs.  Suspended solids are separated and accumulated on the inside of the filter disc panels. 

When the water level inside the filter rotor increases to a pre-set point, the filter rotor starts rotating and the backwash of the filter media starts.  The high pressure backwash spray removes the accumulated suspended solids into the reject flume inside the filter.  The suspended solids are then discharged via the reject  pipe.  The discs are submerged to approximately 60% and the water level of the filtrate is maintained by an integral outlet weir.

TWO VERSIONS, ONE METHOD
The SuperDisc™ filter is available as a freestanding unit with filter discs contained in a stainless steel tank and a version for installation in a concrete tank.  The two versions have the same design regarding drive system, backwash system, outlet weir, disc cassettes, etc.  The effective filter area can be up to 1,658 ft² per filter.

FILTRATION APPLICATIONS
The versatile design of the SuperDisc™ filter allows for a wide variety of water treatment applications, including:
•  Effluent polishing of wastewater
•  Raw water filtration
•  Water reuse
•  Process water filtration
•  Cooling water filtration
•  Pulp and paper industry
•  Aquaculture operations
 
•  Title 22 approved
