Particle Uniformity Boosts Flow, Reduces System Footprint
- Compared to conventional aggregates, Macrolite filtration spheres are engineered with extraordinarily uniform composition, shape, size, sphericity, and density
- Typically lets you boost flow rates to 10 gpm/ft2 and can dramatically upgrade your system's performance and efficiency
- Macrolite dampens changes in influent composition better than traditional filtration media, to produce quality effluent... time after time
Macrolite Can Handle a Greater Load
- Lets you minimize bed size, reduce the equipment footprint and lower your capital costs in new bed installations versus conventional media
- Requires less backwash energy
- Requires less chemistry, because of its structure and surface properties
- Result: Lower operating costs for your plant
Traps More Solids Down to 3 Microns
Macrolite maximizes total filtering surface area for a given bed size, because:
- Macrolite spheres' surface composition promotes colloidal attachment
- Remarkably uniform spheres enhance transport mechanisms within the filter bed, for more colloid-to-granule contact
- Result: a Macrolite bed can filter down to 3 microns, vs. 10 microns for a conventional aggregate bed
Better Performance Against Giardia and Cryptosporidium
- Provides a critical barrier against cyst-based contaminants, removing significantly more than other conventional aggregate media
