About Clearflo Trickling Filters
- Simple, reliable, biological process.
- Suitable in small areas without room for land intensive
treatment systems. - Effective in treating high concentrations of organics
depending on the media type. - Resistant to Shock Loads and Toxins. Not a mixed
system, toxin affects localized. Recycle averages out
shock loads. - Appropriate for small to medium sized communities
- Rapidly reduce soluble BOD5 in applied wastewater.
- Waste sludge easy to dewater, primarily sloughed
off bio layer. - Settles and dewaters better than activated sludge
- Efficient nitrification units.
- Durable components—Low Maintenance
- Low Energy requirements, do not typically require
blowers
ClearStream distributors are either mechanically or hydraulicly driven. Speed-control allows normal operational speeds ranging from 4 to 10 minutes per revolution. More importantly, the speed-control distributor allows a regular (daily or weekly) “flushing” speed that slows the distributor to more than 60 minutes per revolution. This flush of the media is required for optimum performance of the unit.
