The Self-Cleaning Sand Filters offer continuous cleaning due to a granular filter media design. The media is continually being cleaned with treated water by recycling it through a fluidized bed sand washer. This filtration process reduces or eliminates the maount of additional upstream flocculation and settling stages.

These filtration systems have been designed to hangle high solid loading capacity. A key design element of the Self-Cleaning Sand Filters is that it allows the entire bed depth to be utilized in containing entrapped solids. The reprocessed filter media acts as the final clean-up area. This system offers a liquid-solids separation at flow rates of 5 to 26 gpm/ft² and a suspended solid capcity of 6 to 10 lbs/ft³ (96 to 160 kg/m³). Whereas conventional downflow sand filters are effective for liquid-solids separation at flow rates of 5 to 7 gallons/min/ft² of filter area.
