Secondary Effluent Filtration

Removing contaminants from wastewater is often defined as sewage or wastewater treatment. Each municipal water district operates treatment plants to ensure proper handling of wastewater. Treatment plants operate in a challenging environment of constant regulatory change that must be responsive to the introduction of a variety of contaminants. As quality standards for discharge and reuse applications increase, wastewater facilities must integrate the most efficient water filtration technologies at a demanding rate.

Forsta self-cleaning industrial water filters provide the solution, offering dependable water filtration systems which ensure plant effluent quality and/or quality of non-potable water (NPW) for re-use.

Treated secondary effluent (TSE) describes water entering the final treatment stages, which is often one or more stages of membrane filtration. The goal of tertiary treatment is to produce a final stage to improve the effluent quality before it is discharged to the receiving environment (sea, river, lake, ground, or to its reuse application). Forsta self-cleaning wastewater filters allow the efficient removal of debris for the purpose of continuous secondary effluent flow into the tertiary phase. Self-cleaning filters use minimal water for backwash, and do not interrupt system flow.
