Fibax - High Flow Fiber Filtration

Fibax high flow filtration uses long fiber bundles with short backwash duration accounting for only 2 ~ 5% of the throughput volume of filtrate per backwash.

For the conventional filtration through a filter bed, granular materials such as sand and anthracite are used. The FIBAX high rate filter makes use of bundles of long fibers, which permit filtering at flow rates 3 to 10 times as high as those through the conventional sand filter. The use of these long fibers also has an advantage of arresting a large quantity of suspended solids even at exceedingly high flow rates (LV= 20 ~ 100 m/h). When backwashed, the long fibers completely release the suspended solids accumulated thereon, thereby effecting a thorough backwash. The short backwash duration of about 5 minutes uses small quantities of backwash water (filter water) accounting for only 2 ~ 5% of the throughput volume of filtrate per backwash.
