What is Filtralite® Pure Filter Media?
Designed for drinking water treatment applications, Filtralite® Pure is a filter media suitable for both particle filtration and biological treatment.
Compared to traditional filter media like sand and anthracite, Filtralite media consistently provides:
- Up to 30% more treated water on the same media volume
- Better biological growth due to the multi-dimensional surface area
- Increased water production, even with old filters
- Return on investment of less than three (3) years
Why is Our Media Unique?
Our expanded clay ceramic media is made from natural clay deposits found in Norway. Baked in kilns to 1200° C then crushed and sieved, this produces a very porous material with multi dimensional surface area for optimal water purification performance.
What are the advantages of a Filtralite® Pure single/dual media filter?
Compared to traditional filter media, Filtralite has much higher porosity, which gives
- lower initial head loss
- slower differential pressure build up
- higher particle capture capacity
- backwash waste volume reduced by up to 35%
Filtralite® Pure performance in numbers
In single media filters, time between backwashes can be extended by up to 500%
In dual media filters, up to eight (8) times less frequent backwashes
In biofilters, up to 98% iron removal, 80% manganese removal and 90% ammonia removal
Existing Filtralite filters operate from 1 gpm/ft2 up to 8 gpm/ft2 for physical filtration and up to 13 gpm/ft2 for biofilters
What are the advantages of Filtralite® Pure in biological filters?
Compared to other media, Filtralite has much higher porosity, which gives
- high contact area for biofilm growth
- higher density compared to traditional media
- lighter weight
- high durability to increase useful life
- larger biomass volume
FILTRALITE® PURE Media Options
Developed for drinking water applications and desalination pre-treatment, our media is highly efficient media for particle filtration and biological treatment.
Get the Best Mix For Ideal Treatment Production
Filtralite® Pure Mono-Multi combines two types of Filtralite Pure filter media with different densities and sizes (Filtralite® Pure HC 0.8-1.6 and Filtralite® Pure NC 1.5-2.5) to improve even more filter runs and production capacity for filtration in drinking water treatment.
