Multimedia Pressure Filtrations Systems

Multimedia Filtration System with Controls From Wastewater Resources, Inc.

Multimedia Filtration System from Wastewater Resources, Inc. is a low pressure water treatment system (ASME rated to 75 PSI). The system is typically used as a prefilter for further water treatment or as a post treatment system prior to discharge of an effluent.

The skid mounted pressure vessel is made of carbon steel. There are 3" or 4" flange openings for upper and lower header systems located on the sides of the vessel. Controls are also mounted on the skid to fully automate the operation of the system and easily integrate into other systems in the process.

WRI's design includes a multi supported low header that eliminates breaking, cracking, and structural failure problems typically found with other industrial multimedia filters. In the water treatment industry, WRI multi media filtration systems are known as low maintenance, heavy duty water treatment assemblies.
