Large scale, high performance, low footprint

The Aqua MegaDisk® was designed to meet the demands of large-scale WWTPs that need high-capacity tertiary filtration without compromising available space. The larger-diameter discs significantly increase the filtration area per module, resulting in higher flow per linear meter of channel.

With the same globally proven cloth media technology, the MegaDisk combines high hydraulic capacity with superior removal efficiency for suspended solids and total phosphorus, meeting the most stringent environmental discharge standards or effluent reuse requirements.

Maximum Capacity per Channel Meter

Large-diameter discs maximize filtration area, reducing the total channel length required.

Chemical Phosphorus Removal

High compatibility with coagulant dosing for efficient total phosphorus removal below 0.5 mg/L.

Reuse-Quality Effluent

Effluent quality suitable for agricultural, industrial, and urban reuse according to applicable standards.

Large-scale filtration efficiency

The Aqua MegaDisk® operates on the same outside-in principle as the other Cloth Media filters. Secondary effluent enters the channel and surrounds the large-diameter cloth media discs, filtering outside-in by differential pressure.

Automatic backwash is triggered by differential pressure, with sliding shoes traversing the entire surface of the large discs without interrupting treatment. Upstream coagulant dosing enhances phosphorus and residual turbidity removal.

1. High Filtration Area

Large-diameter discs increase the specific filtration area per installed module.

2. Coagulant Dosing

Upstream dosing point allows chemical precipitation of phosphorus and turbidity before filtration.

3. Automatic Backwash

High-flow backwash system ensures effective cleaning of the large discs.
