Flocculation & Filtration System Applications with HydroFLOW®

HydroFLOW® enhances flocculation and filtration processes by improving particle agglomeration, reducing biofouling and scaling, and increasing filter efficiency. It supports clearer water, lower chemical use, and reduced maintenance in water and wastewater treatment systems.

Optimising Flocculation & Filtration with HydroFLOW®

Flocculation and filtration are critical steps in removing suspended solids and impurities from water. Whether treating raw, process, or wastewater, these systems are often challenged by fine particles that resist settling, as well as scaling and biofouling that clog filter media and reduce flow.

HydroFLOW® offers a non-chemical, non-invasive solution that improves floc formation and keeps filtration systems clean. By applying an electrical signal to the water, HydroFLOW® encourages fine particles to combine into larger clusters (flocs), which are easier to remove. It also treats limescale and biofilm, extending filter life and improving water clarity.

HydroFLOW® Solutions for Flocculation & Filtration: Clarity, Efficiency, and Enhanced Flow

Improves Particle Agglomeration for Better Flocculation

Small, suspended solids often remain in water due to weak electrostatic attraction. HydroFLOW® alters the charge environment, promoting the natural agglomeration of fine particles enhancing the performance of gravity settling and filters.

Reduces clogging in sand, multimedia, and membrane filters

N

Improves flow rates and reduces pressure loss

N

Minimises backwashing frequency and water waste

N

Extends filter media and membrane lifespan

Treats Limescale & Protects Filter Infrastructure

Mineral scaling restricts flow through filter systems and damages filter housings. HydroFLOW® keeps calcium and magnesium in suspension, reducing scaling and protecting filter surfaces.
