About Clearflo Trickling Filters

  • Simple, reliable, biological process.
  • Suitable in small areas without room for land intensive
    treatment systems.
  • Effective in treating high concentrations of organics
    depending on the media type.
  • Resistant to Shock Loads and Toxins. Not a mixed
    system, toxin affects localized. Recycle averages out
    shock loads.
  • Appropriate for small to medium sized communities
  • Rapidly reduce soluble BOD5  in applied wastewater.
  • Waste sludge easy to dewater, primarily sloughed
    off bio layer.
  • Settles and dewaters better than activated sludge
  • Efficient nitrification units.
  • Durable components—Low Maintenance
  • Low Energy requirements, do not typically require
    blowers

ClearStream distributors are either mechanically or hydraulicly driven.  Speed-control allows normal operational speeds ranging from 4 to 10 minutes per revolution. More importantly, the speed-control distributor allows a regular (daily or weekly) “flushing” speed that slows the distributor to more than 60 minutes per revolution. This flush of the media is required for optimum performance of the unit.

3D Models of Every Project

ClearStream develops a detailed 3D model for every unit manufactured, ensuring accurate fit-up and seamless integration with site-specific layouts. These models also serve as a valuable tool for operator training and system familiarization, providing clear insight into unit design and operation.

Clients are provided access to the 3D models, allowing them to view and manipulate the equipment from their own office or facility. This capability enables operations and maintenance personnel to virtually inspect the unit, plan maintenance activities, and understand internal components—without draining the tank or interrupting operation.
