ACTIFLO® Disc

Actiflo® Disc’s configuration combines two efficient and compact treatment processes: a conventional Actiflo® phase, namely coagulation-flocculation ballasted bu microsand which allows for high-performance clarification, followed by a rotating disk filter polishing system for tertiary treatment.

With a total removal rate in excess of 95% for phosphorus and up to more than 99% for suspended solids, Actiflo Disc’s performance exceeds most discharge and reuse standards.

Benefits

• Very compact solution, easy to adjust to present facilities or sites to be refurbished.
• Compactness: a footprint up to 80% lower than other conventional processes.
• Very low water losses
• Provides a protective barrier against parasites (ex: Helminth eggs).
• Lower turbidity, suspended solids and reduces residual phosphate contents.
• Gravity filtration
• Continuous supply with no shutdown to wash filters

Applications

Thanks to its unique equipment design, ACTIFLO® Disc is applicable in several industrial and municipal situations.

Municipal applications

• Pre-treatment upstream of the membrane to produce drinking water
• Wastewater treatment
• Tertiary wastewater treatment for reuse in irrigation, replenishing the groundwater table or for urban use.

Industrial applications

• Industrial wastewater treatment
• Production of process water
• Wastewater treatment for reuse
