FlowTex is a high-performance tertiary filter that removes suspended solids as small as 10 microns, and is suitable for both small- and large-flow applications. The patented design incorporates a fixed disc with a rotating suction head that never touches the cloth media, thus extending the life of the media. Flow enters the filter from a pipe and completely surrounds the discs. Turbulence from the incoming wastewater keeps solids suspended and prevents premature settling. As solids accumulate on the cloth filter media, the flow becomes restricted, causing the liquid level to rise. Backwashing is automatically triggered when the level reaches a predetermined point. A vacuum head then rotates across the surface of the disc, removing captured solids from the media. — Entex Technologies Inc., Chapel Hill, N.C.
