Aqua MiniDisk®
Compact Cloth Media Filter

The compact version of the cloth media disc filter — designed for small and medium WWTPs with space constraints. Delivers the same proven AquaDisk® technology in a reduced footprint with simplified in-channel installation.

Maximum efficiency in minimum space

The Aqua MiniDisk® applies the same cloth media filtration principles as the renowned AquaDisk®, but on a compact platform optimized for smaller installations. The solution is ideal for smaller communities, industrial WWTPs with space restrictions, or smaller-scale reuse projects.

With direct installation in a concrete channel, the MiniDisk maintains continuous operation with automatic pressure-differential backwash. Its modular architecture allows future expansion by simply adding disc modules to the existing channel.

Installation in Confined Spaces

Minimal footprint without compromising final effluent quality — TSS consistently below 10 mg/L.

Modularity and Scalability

Each module operates independently; add capacity without replacing the existing system.

Simplified Operation

Fully automated control with pressure-differential backwash — no dedicated operator required.

Same technology, compact scale

Secondary effluent enters the channel and flows around the submerged cloth media discs. The liquid passes outside-in through the discs while suspended solids are retained on the external cloth surface.

When the differential pressure reaches the configured setpoint, backwash shoes automatically traverse the disc surface with pressurized water jets, removing solids and discharging them via a dedicated pump — all without interrupting effluent flow.

1. Outside-In Flow

Effluent surrounds the discs and filters outside-in; solids retained on the cloth surface.

2. Pressure-Triggered Backwash

Automatic shoes clean the discs when differential pressure exceeds the configured limit.

3. Continuous Discharge

Collected solids are automatically discharged to the sludge line without interrupting treatment.
