Vertical Pressure Activated Carbon Sand Filter Vessel for Pretreatment

Filtration of Smaller Flows with Vertical Pressure Filters

Vertical pressure filters consist of a pressure vessel with an overdrain system for distribution of influent water and collection of backwash waste.

Vertical pressure filters:

Maintain system pressure through the treatment process.

Eliminate backwash supply pumps

Utilize several media configurations

Isolate individual filtration vessels

Vertical pressure filters provide granular media treatment in an enclosed pressure vessel. Multiple vessels can be used to allow operating flexibility and backwashing from in-service cells. Under 1 MGD (4 MLD), they are more economical than horizontal pressure filters.

Vertical pressure filters are typically applied in small to medium sized plants. Individual, parallel operating vessels satisfy redundancy requirements and offer a modular design that is easily expanded with increasing water demand. Vertical pressure filters are ideally suited for deep bed filtration, ion exchange, and adsorptive medias such as GAC and activated alumina.

CHUNKE has been designing and supplying pressure filtration systems for more than 10 years in both the industrial and municipal markets. This broad experience base translates into extensive process knowledge that offers the best of both worlds, a robust filter which can operate in the harshest environments while consistently producing the highest water quality demanded by drinking water standards.

CHUNKE offers standards for both stand-alone and skid-mounted systems. In either case, the system piping, valves, controls, and instrumentation should be supplied by CHUNKE to maintain unit responsibility. As with all CHUNKE equipment, customization to your specific needs is our focus.
