Continuous backwashing sandfilterSand Filter

Following development of the first continuous backwashing sandfilter the technology was rapidly adopted in Europe and the USA for larger treatment plants. Due to their size and capital costs these filters were nevertheless not suited for smaller plants. This is when the development of a patented new type of continuous sandfilter (TOVEKO®) specifically designed for small to medium size treatment plants and industrial applications occurred.

The TOVEKO system is a continuously backwashed sand filter that measures only 2.3m high. A compact size that means pumping systems can often be avoided through simple gravity feed set-up. TOVEKO® sand filters do not require the large backwash water tanks associated with conventional sand filters.

TOVEKO® sandfilters are particularly well suited for applications in municipal treatment, potable water (especially Fe and Mn removal) and industrial wastewater treatment.

Its small footprint, modular package plant design with its fully automated operation including backwash rate control, make this sand filter the preferred choice for remote treatment plants where high water quality has to be maintained and the regular presence of an operator is not possible.
