SOIL & GROUNDWATER REMEDIATION PROJECT
Filtration Systems has invested heavily in research and development and hold multiple design and process patents. Our filter vessels are used throughout many industries whenever a liquid requires filtration.
Shown is a remediation system designed to remove contaminants from the soil and groundwater site that was polluted with hazardous chemicals. This also results in reducing the exposure of toxins to protect our health and our environment.
FULLY WELDED CONSTRUCTION – Accufit® and Ultrafit® Filter Bags
Filtration Systems Liquid Filter Bags have no sewn seams anywhere, eliminating solid bypass. Ultrasonically welded seams prevent deposits, larger than the micron rating of the media, from bypassing the Filter Bag.
The rule of thumb, the greater the loading in a filter the more it resists flow. Causing liquids to naturally seeks the path of least resistance. As shown, conventional Filter Bags are sewn producing stitching holes. Therefore, the path of least resistance is through the holes and not the filter media, allowing particles to bypass through the needle holes.
TruSeam™ Technology provides a fully finished longitudinal seam with no rough edges.
Thus, without a perfect seal, either from the filter media, the vessel, or both, leakage of unfiltered liquid can compromise results.

Over-The-Top® Design, Valved, Multi-housing Filter System with Backwash Option
The unique Backwash Filter System allows liquid flow to be reversed manually, as desired, to self-clean for reuse of our Accufit® Welded Expanded Media filter bags with a Backwash Insert.
The process reverses the direction in which liquid flows through the filter, dislodging contaminants and solids that have accumulated on the surface of the filter bag(s). The inlet and outlet valves are closed to suspend regular filtration flow; followed by opening the backwash header valves to initiate the backflow process.
During the Backflow Process, filter bags are held securely in place by the support basket working in conjunction with a Filter Backwash Insert, as shown. This allows contaminants to be cleaned from the filters surface, extending its life for reuse.
