Flocell Filter – Trial Unit

Flocell Filter – Trial Unit

We can provide the Flocell XFM Fines Filter 900 as a trial unit for on-site evaluation across the UK and export markets. This allows site managers and engineering teams to assess the unit’s performance, integration suitability, and operational benefits under real-world conditions.

Technical Overview

The Flocell XFM series is designed for high-capacity removal of fine suspended solids in industrial and water treatment environments. These filters operate efficiently under variable flow and head conditions, offering a robust alternative to conventional particulate filtration systems.

  • XFM Fines Media – Effective, efficient filtration down to less than 5 µm.
  • Limited Water Usage – Air Clean Technology minimises water usage.
  • High Retention Capacity – Vastly superior retention capacity compared to traditional media filters.
  • No Maintenance Required – Maintenance-free operation drives lower operating costs.
  • Low Power Usage – No high-power pumps needed, improving energy efficiency.
  • Easy to Integrate – Designed to be modular and can operate within a wide variety of flow rates.

FEATURES

Effective & Sustainable
Filtration Systems

Millions of carrier elements act like lamella separators reducing water velocity and allowing for the smallest particles to separate out into the media voids. The uninterrupted flow allows for constant and prolonged settlement within the filter pack. The Flocell open cell media allow for high retention capacity so you only need to clean the filter once a month in most applications and save energy because only a small pump is needed or no pump at all on a gravity set-up.

FEATURES

Air Clean Technology

Flocell filters with Air Clean Technology use air rather than wasting water during a traditional backwash cycle. The short air cleaning cycle is done by introducing air into the filter using a low-energy blower or with our patented siphon solution, depending on the application, to agitate the media pack and purge the contained solids. The open cell structure of the Flocell media enables high-retention capacity for extended periods of operation without interruption needed for cleaning. Using air reduces the energy needed and the vast amount of water wasted during cleaning; only the single volume of the filter is discharged and produces a highly concentrated and manageable effluent that infrequently needs to be purged. With Flocell Air Clean Technology, the water and power savings are significant and operation virtually maintenance-free.

FEATURES

XFM Media

Flocell XFM Fines Media has been specifically engineered to optimise the mechanical filtration performance of Flocell XFM Fines Filters. This patented filter media features a unique shape and profile that includes a series of fins around the outer surface to capture fines.

FEATURES

Independently Tested

Flocell open cell media has been independently tested by the IFTS (Institut de la Filtration et des Technique Séparatives) in France and Cranfield University to offer vastly superior performance in terms of retention capacity, retention efficiency, energy consumption and power use.
