Vortisand® Crossflow Microsand Filtration Systems

Energy waste
Fouling (insulating layer inside pipes) by unfiltered mineral & organic particles and bacteria • Reduces energy exchange • Reduces service life of system
Fouled
Clean
Water waste
Unfiltered Total Suspended and Air Solids limits Cycles of Concentration at cooling towers • Increasing blow down
water waste • Increasing risk of
cooling tower failure • Increasing need for
filter backwash Poor filtration and biological loading limit the use of grey water for cooling
Health risks
Legionella feeds on unfiltered organic solids and bio particles • Increased need of biocides,
dispersants and maintenance
Suspended particles cause resource waste, health risks, and environmental impact
VORTISAND®
• Crossflow filtration at 50 m/h
• Down to less than 1 micron
• Backwash flow is 1/4 of flow rate
TRADITIONAL SAND
• Downflow filtration at 10 m/h
• 10 to 20 micron filtration
• Backwash flow is 2 x flow rate
Raw water
Filtered water

Crossflow Microsand filtration = • Reduce water loss by + 50%
• Reduce chiller energy by 10%-20%
• Reduce chemical by up to 20%
• Reduce footprint by up to 85%
• Reduce Legionella incidence
Sustainable development +
Operating Cost savings =
More profits
