Application Advantages
KWI Group is considered one of the pioneers
of DAF technology with nearly 70 years’ experience.
KS Filter is a special member among KWI products, which has obvious advantages
in water supply and wastewater treatment.
The filter works continuously and the effluent quality is better and stable. In addi-
tion, no primary filtrate produced.
Advantages
It can be used to separate organisms in the wastewater and has
• High SS removal rate: 95%~99%
• High hydraulic load:18 m3/(m2·h) high removal rate of total nitrogen and phosphorus.
• Small footprint Uniform filter media; No mixture and distribution required;
• Continuously operation, no need
Low maintenance cost.
to stop running for backwash
KS FILTER
Principle
The active sand filter is based on the countercurrent principle. The raw water flows into the inlet pipe and
enters the filter through the water distributor at the bottom of the filter. The water flows upstream through
the filter bed, and the treated water gathers at the top of the filter and flows out through the overflow port.
The contaminated filter media, which is at the bottom of the filter, is lifted through the air lift pump to the
sand washer at the top of the filter. The sand cleaning has already started in the pump delivery process.
The pollutant is separated from the active sand by turbulent action. Dirty sand from the pump outlet
overflow into the bellows, and then is discharged. Clean sand flow back to the sand bed by gravity.As a
result, the sand bed is continuously sinking slowly in the equipment. The power source is compressed air
provided by the air compressor. The water purification and sand cleaning are carried out simultaneously.
