Multi-Media Filters and Wastewater Recycling

Bioremediation and Multi-Media filtration has been in existence since the dawn of time, this is how nature has cleaned the earth and its water for millions of years.

The use of multimedia filters in combination with bioremediation is the perfect match. The filters will not only catch the substrates to be consumed by the bacteria but also the inorganic materials bacteria will not consume. Multimedia filters are the perfect biomass (collection point) for bioremediation products. Sand and many types of silt are examples of items that bugs will not eat. Multimedia filters will remove these contaminants for back flushing to a removal point that is most convenient. Oils and grease must be caught in a retention area (bioreactor) or coalescing system to allow the enzymes to break them down and bacteria to consume them.

In the environment and in industrial applications naturally occurring bacteria are not present in sufficient numbers and the proper strains of bacteria are not always available. No amount of enzymes (proteins that breakdown the substrate for the bacteria to consume) added to the water will change the type of bacteria present. It’s true that the proper nutrients, both micro and macro nutrients are a great benefit to the bacteria supplementing their diet and strengthening them. Combined with the correct enzymes these nutrients shorten or eliminate the lag phase in bacterial buildup (colonizing your system). Choosing a proper Biodigester product is crucial to the success of the system.

The Extreme Clean Fully Integrated System Fully Integrated System How the Extreme Clean System Works This Hydrokleen system is designed to handle water recycling in high flow washing applications without interruption of washing, no lost revenue. Water is pumped from the in-ground sump and discharged to the Extreme Clean. Wastewater then flows into a primary solids settling tank and (by gravity) onto an oil coalescing system with 420,000 sq. in. of self-cleaning oil coalescing material. Here oils are separated, skimmed and decanted for disposal. By gravity water enters the first of two multi media polishing loop systems, where water is passed at 100 GPM multiple times through Hydrosorb media. This reduces light and emulsified hydrocarbons to less than 10 PPM. Again, by gravity water flows to a second polishing loop with activated carbon for addition hydrocarbon and metals removal. In the polishing loop water is circulated at 100 GPM assuring multiple passes through the job specific media. Filtered water is pressurized back to the washing equipment at 40 + GPM and 20 PSI for reuse. Excess water from rinsing passes automatically (by gravity) from the system to sanitary sewer. Automatic back flush cycles are on demand or at timed intervals. Extreme Clean Specifications (PDF format)
