    AGF Autonomous Gravity Filters

    Our AGF Autonomous Gravity Sand Filter is a mechanical rapid gravity sand filter. It is a polishing filter used for the removal of fine suspended solids from water. It requires no external control system or electrical supply and the backwash cycle initiation occurs autonomously and is driven entirely by built-in hydraulic design features. Operator intervention is limited to periodic maintenance inspections.

    Applications

    The AGF is commonly installed as polishing filters to remove unsettled flocculant and other suspended solids. Its applications include the following:

     

    • Polishing filter on potable water treatment plants where mixing, flocculation and sedimentation stages typically precede the AGF installation
    • Removal of precipitate in iron and manganese removal processes.
    • Side-stream filters on cooling systems

      Clarifiers

      The Superior Filtration Gravity Lamella Settler is a modular, high rate inclined tube settler that uses a counter-current flow principle for effective solids removal. The inclined tube concept provides an effective settling area that is equal to the area of each tube as projected onto a horizontal surface.

      Applications

      Gravity Lamella Settlers are typically installed in the secondary phase of water treatment to remove floc and sediment:

      • Removal of floc during the secondary stage of the treatment of potable water, before final / polishing filtration
      • Removal of floc and other sediment from industrial process water

      Drum Filters

      Our Rotating Drum filter is a mechanical, self-cleaning gravity filter. It is designed to provide filtration without breaking up the solids into smaller pieces so that a particularly limpid filtrate is produced. The careful handling of solids prevents fragmentations, which achieves greater levels of filtration efficiency.

      Rotating drum filters and our GraviFilters are both gravity (non-pressurised) screen filters that would be fit for purpose under similar conditions. Where gravity screen filtration is required, we carefully analyse the industry and the specific application. Only then do we select between the two filter types.
