MULTIWASH® Filtration Process

Maximize Filter Performance

Once you have selected the right type of filtration system for your application, it’s equally important to select the most effective filter internals, such as underdrains, washtroughs, and media. WesTech has more options and expertise than anyone else in the market.

You could obtain a reduction in power costs and improved filtration efficiency with MULTIWASH. Contact us to discuss the best options for your plant.

Get Started

One of the leading options for many years now is the MULTIWASH® filtration process, which combines air and water simultaneously for the duration of the backwash. The combined air and water wash provides a vigorous scouring action to clean the media while specially designed washtrough baffles are used to eliminate media loss.

The superior cleaning performance of the MULTIWASH process prevents both chemical and biological fouling of the filter media, eliminating expensive chemical cleaning or media replacement.

Equip your filters with the MULTIWASH process and get:

  • Guarantees against mudball formation and media loss
  • Consistently better backwash performance
  • The widest available selection of filter media configurations
  • Consistent effluent quality

MULTIWASH filtration process was originally developed for wastewater filtration. Deep, large media beds provide longer filter runs while producing comparable effluent quality. Several plant retrofits confirm the powerful backwash provided with the MULTIWASH filtration process.

Filter components that support the MULTIWASH filtration process include low- and reduced-profile underdrains, and specially designed washtroughs and collectors.
