Working principle
FILTRATION PHASE
When raw water enters to the filter, the anti-clogging
deflector AZUD HELIX throws the heavy particles to the
top of the lid. Water flows OUT-IN through the
compressed discs stack, where particles bigger than the
filtration degree are trapped in the discs.
FWT
SELF-CLEANING PHASE
When automatic backwash is activated, filtered pressurized
water flows IN-OUT and decompresses the discs stack. High-
speed water flowing through the spray nozzles creates a
tangential cleaning effect, flushing out the trapped particles.
Air Assisted Backwash (AA) FWT

> Difficult applications with high

loads of organic matter or filamentous TSS

> More effective backwash thanks

to a water-air mix flowing at high speed

> Water saving is 80% higher than

conventional equipment
Competitive advantages FWT
DISC FILTRATION ELEMENT FILTRATION EQUIPMENT

> 2 DISC TYPES > INCREASED FILTRATION VOLUME > MODULARITY

• AZUD MG: grooved channels trap
smaller particles than nominal degree
• AZUD WS: increased efficiency to
remove smaller particles (<100µm)
> INCREASED PARTICLE RETENTION
CAPACITY
• In-depth filtration with longer channels
> MORE FILTRATION CHANNELS
• Increased passageway density and more
intersection crosses
• Larger filtration area and a longer
grooved channel
> ENHANCED BACKWASH
• Less frequency: AZUD HELIX
• Better efficiency: more spray nozzles
with higher tangential impacts
> LOWER PRESSURE OPERATION
• DLP low pressure technology
• Wide range of flow rates and
configurations
> WIDE RANGE OF FILTRATION

Working principle FWT

FILTRATION PHASE SELF-CLEANING PHASE

Raw water flows IN-OUT through the screen, where
particles bigger than the filtration degree are retained at
the inner screen surface.
When automatic backwash is activated, the opening of the
drain valve to atmosphere creates a suction effect in the
nozzles that makes the water flows OUT- IN through the
screen. Trapped particles are removed from the screen and are
thrown away to the drain through the scanner.
