Scrufilter

CONTINUOUS MICROFILTRATION SYSTEM

Efficient Microfiltration for Reducing Suspended Solids

Since 2002, TEKNOFANGHI has successfully provided the SCRUFILTER®, a cutting-edge continuous microfiltration system designed to reduce the concentration of suspended solids in wastewater.

Applications and Benefits

The SCRUFILTER® units are suitable for a wide range of microfiltration applications and deliver significant reductions in:

  • Fine suspended solids
  • COD and BOD5 levels
  • Phosphorus, nitrates, and other substances

This system is especially valuable when combined with UV disinfection, as it minimizes turbidity caused by suspended solids, enhancing the efficiency of the UV treatment.

Customizable Filtration Options
  • Filter cloths are available in various sizes: 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, or 100 microns, tailored to specific requirements.
  • Custom filter mesh panels can be produced upon request to meet unique customer needs.

TEKNOFANGHI’s SCRUFILTER® provides a reliable and adaptable solution for wastewater treatment, ensuring cleaner water and improved operational efficiency.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS:

  • Suspended solids reduction
  • Phosphates, COD and BOD5 reduction
  • Water recovery in beverage, food, textile, paper mill etc.
  • Water for raw material recovery
  • Drinking water, river and lake water
  • Fish-breeding farm
  • Chemical industry for water reuse
  • Water from cooling towers
  • Clarified water after DAF system
  • Filtration water prior to disinfection with UV system

MAIN ADVANTAGES:​

  • Continuous microfiltration
  • 90% less in reject water
  • No external washing water needed
  • Designed for easy maintenance
FILTRATION BY GRAVITY

The SCRUFILTER® operates using a gravity-based filtration process, providing continuous microfiltration with minimal head loss. Key features include:

  • Continuous Backwashing: No external water source is required, ensuring efficient operation and resource savings.
  • Integrated Overflow System:
    - Automatically diverts non-filtered overflow water into the solids discharge when maximum flow rate or solids concentration is exceeded.
    - Maintains the quality of the filtered water, even under high load conditions.

This innovative design ensures reliable performance and optimal water quality in wastewater treatment applications.

ENCLOSED BODY WITH INSPECTION PANELS

The SCRUFILTER® features a completely enclosed body, designed to:

  • Prevent Aerosol and Odor: Ensures a cleaner and more hygienic operating environment.
  • Facilitate Maintenance: Equipped with inspection panels for quick and simple access, streamlining routine maintenance tasks.

This robust design enhances the system’s reliability and user-friendliness, making the SCRUFILTER® an efficient solution for wastewater treatment.

FILTER PLATES REPLACEMENT

The SCRUFILTER® is equipped with multiple filter plates, designed for cost-effective and efficient maintenance. Key features include:

  • Targeted Replacement: If a plate is damaged, only the specific plate needs to be replaced, significantly reducing costs.
  • Ease of Access: Filter plate replacements can be performed without removing the drum from the main frame, minimizing downtime and simplifying the process.

This user-friendly design ensures the SCRUFILTER® remains a reliable and economical solution for continuous microfiltration.

AUTOMATIC WASHING SYSTEM

The SCRUFILTER® is equipped with an automatic washing system to maintain the cleanliness and efficiency of the filter cloth. Key features include:

  • Special Spray Nozzles: Designed by TEKNOFANGHI, these nozzles use significantly less water compared to standard options, ensuring resource efficiency.
  • Tool-Free Maintenance: The nozzles can be easily removed and cleaned without the need for tools, enabling rapid and hassle-free maintenance.

This advanced washing system enhances the performance and reliability of the SCRUFILTER®, making it an efficient solution for wastewater treatment.
