How The CMAFU-2 Works
Wastewater collected at the wash pad is automatically transferred to the CMAFU-2, where it is distributed evenly over a filter media bed. Media selected for the application is supported on a traveling concave conveyor surface that serves as a settling trough for wastewater slurry. Gravity provides the driving force for this low-energy solids/liquid separation. Solids are captured atop the paper media as liquid permeates to a lower reservoir. As solids continue to collect on the media, liquid permeation rate is reduced causing the slurry level in the trough to rise. At a preset high level, a mechanical float is activated, causing the support conveyor to advance. Media and collected solids also advance with conveyor, thereby exposing a fresh media section. With new media, slurry level in the trough drops and solids/liquid separation continues automatically. As a function of conveyor advance, spent media and collected solids are deposited in a collection tray for periodic removal and disposal. Liquid in the lower reservoir is automatically transferred for subsequent processing.
NO CARTRIDGE FILTERS to clean or change out!
