Cloth media filter with diamond-geometry panels — the innovation that maximizes active filtration area per unit volume, delivering higher hydraulic capacity in a smaller physical footprint compared to conventional disc filters.
The Aqua Diamond® represents the evolution of cloth media disc filters. Panel geometry was redesigned in a "diamond" format to maximize active filtration area per unit of tank volume, resulting in higher hydraulic capacity without increasing occupied space.
Like the other Cloth Media filters, the Aqua Diamond® operates in a concrete channel with continuous automatic backwash. The difference is filtration density: more usable cloth media area per compartment means higher treatment capacity per installed module — a decisive advantage in WWTP expansions with limited space.
Optimized geometry delivers more filtration area per square meter of occupancy — ideal for constrained spaces.
Increases treatment capacity within existing infrastructure without major civil works.
TSS consistently below 10 mg/L, maintaining all the benefits of the AquaDisk® line.
The filtration principle is the same as the rest of the Cloth Media line: effluent enters the channel and flows outside-in through the cloth media panels — now in diamond geometry — and the clarified effluent is collected internally and sent to the final effluent outlet.
Automatic backwash operates continuously with sliding shoes that traverse the panel surface, removing retained solids without interrupting filtration. The diamond geometry increases the effective number of panels per compartment without increasing channel volume, directly resulting in higher treated flow per module.
Effluent distributed evenly across the submerged diamond panels in the concrete channel.
Solids retained on the outer panel surface; clarified effluent collected internally.
Backwash shoes traverse the diamond panels, cleaning the filtration surface without stopping the system.
