Sanitaire Taron™ Activated Sludge Filter Brochure
The innovative Taron activated sludge filter is the only technology of its kind on the market today, adapting the structure of a rotating disc filter to handle high solids content fed directly from a secondary activated sludge basin.
The Taron filter develops a dynamic sludge cake layer on micro mesh panels to separate out the biological floc. Vertical discs are mounted on a hollow shaft and submerged in the activated sludge. As the discs rotate and liquid flows through the panels, activated sludge is deposited on the mesh. Hydraulic pressure then compacts the biomass and forms the sludge cake layer. Filtrate flow is controlled by the rotational speed of the discs and a continuous filtrate backwash system that removes the sludge cake layer after each rotation.
This leading-edge, outside-in filter design reduces the physical space required to produce high-quality effluent that meets or exceeds the standards of traditional secondary clarification. So, it expands your plant’s capacity while fitting within its existing footprint.
