RITOFILT-VVMF

Overview

RITOFILT-VVMF is an innovative filter designed to remove suspended solids from wastewater in a variety of applications in a cost-effective manner. With high filtration rates and unique compressible porous filter media, it is a versatile and compact solution with lower footprint as compared to conventional filters. The filters are made in a modular manner so as to suitable for all applications and flow rates.

Filtration Process:

RITOFILT-VVMF has a movable compression plate to vary the porosity of filter bed and therefore, size of suspended solids trapped in the media. It is an up flow filter and by nature of design, there is a continual variable porosity at any given position of the compression plate that enables filtration of varying sizes of solids resulting in full use of filter bed depth and an increase in efficiency. Due to these aspects, it is possible to achieve filtration rates as high as 100m3/m2/hr with the RITOFILT-VVMF.

Filter Media:

The filter media consists of a multitude of porous low-density spherical balls made of synthetic fibers. The following properties make the media suitable for a variety of applications

High porosity with 85% void ratio

High filtration rates

Easy to clean

Proven life of 10+ years

Compressible and variable pore sizes

Antibacterial and averse to biofilm formation

Resistant to heat, acids, bleaches, sunlight and aging

Applications:

RITOFILT-VVMF has versatile applicability and may be used in a variety of applications:

Industrial waste treatment

Post-filtration of treated waste water

Cooling water treatment

Pre-settled water filtration

Water recycling systems

Pre-filtration for other systems.

Backwashing:

Backwashing in the ORAFILT-VVMF is a simple and automated process, and does not involve losses of filter media. Upon saturation of filter bed, the media is decompressed and a combination of influent water and compressed air is used to clean and tumble the filter balls to prolong media life and ensure uniform usage and wear. Upon completion of backwash cycle, the media is compressed again and filter cycle can begin.

Advantages:

RITOFILT-VVMF offers many advantages over other filtration.

High filtration rates

No loss of filter media in backwashing.

Low reject wash water

Minimal operator attention.

Modular design to cater high flow rates.

Media circulation within filter bed to ensure long life.

High TSS load handling utilizing full depth of media Bed
