Multimedia Filtration (AQMF)

Multimedia Filtration (AQMF)

Aquamat’s Multimedia Filtration (AQMF) plants are designed to treat ground water, surface water, tertiary treated effluent, storm water or wastewater with <30 mg/L of total suspended solids. Standard filtration media includes high grade zeolite media for suspended solids removal, granular activated carbon (GAC) for removal of organics, colour, odour or chlorine and Iron removal media for dissolved iron and manganese. Additional filtration media, such as calcite for hardness correction and various ion exchange resins, are available on request. Additional pre-filtration and post-filtration treatment steps may be added as required to suit feed water conditions and/or treated water quality requirements. The plants are available as skid mounted or containerised systems.
