Active sand filtration with AFM: 30-80% improvement in sandfilter performance Description including main features/advantages: AFM is an advanced filtration media designed to replace sand in pressure filters and gravity flow filters. AFM is far superior to a good quality filter sand. Changing from sand to AFM will result in some major improvements to the performance of your filtration system. AFM will provide better water clarity and quality AFM will remove smaller particles form water compared to the equivalent grade of sand AFM is less likely to become contaminated by fats, lipids and biological growth AFM is much less likely to block or channel compared to sand In chlorinated systems, chlorine levels will become lower and less coagulant will be required. Innovative aspects: Less use of backwash water and less use of chlorine in chlorinated systems. Current and potential industrial users/domains of application: Industrial water treatment / Swimming pools / Drinking water - industry. Current state of development: On the market Contact details: Organisation: CALDIC BELGIUM Website: www.caldic.be Contact person: Dries Neirinck Address: Terlochtweg 1 2620 Hemiksem Belgium Phone: +32 3 /870 48 81 Fax: + 32 3/870 48 59 Email: dn@caldic.be
