Multi-Media, Iron and
Activated Carbon Filters

Many water supplies contain excessive levels of turbidity, iron, chlorine, suspended solids and organic matters. This can cause color, objectionable tastes and odor. It can foul equipment and piping with suspended solids and render the water unsuitable for consumption or process use.

Bauer Engineering’s multi-media, dual-media and activated carbon filters are used for commercial, industrial and process applications requiring the removal of turbidity, suspended solids, color, iron, manganese, odor, chlorine and organics.

Multi-Media

Bauer Engineering’s MMA and MMS Series multi-media filters in sizes 37 to 377 gallons per minute are specifically designed for the removal of turbidity and suspended solids. They employ an advanced multi-media bed consisting of graded layers of media with a course top layer of anthracite to remove the bulk of suspended solids, a finer second layer of sand, and a final layer of fine dense garnet to polish the water for a high clarity effluent.

Activated Carbon

The ACF, ACA and ACS Series activated carbon filters in sizes 2 to 251 gallons per minute are designed for chlorine and organics removal. Many varieties of activated carbon are available to suit individual application requirements from simple dechlorination to critical dissolved organics removal.

Dual-Media

The DMF and DMS Series dual-media filters in sizes 2 to 251 gallons per minute are typically used for turbidity and suspended solids removal. They may also be combined with a chemical feed system to effectively remove both iron and manganese. The dual-media filter bed includes a top layer of anthracite to remove the bulk of the suspended solids, and a second layer of manganese greensand to remove finer suspended solids and iron when properly regenerated.

High Performance Corrosion Resistant Design

Bauer Engineering’s multi-media, activated carbon and dual-media filters are designed to provide superior filtration performance in demanding process, industrial and commercial applications. Fiberglass and steel filter tanks are used for corrosion resistance and long life. The media is selected to produce a high quality effluent and long filter runs. Brass multi-port control valves, cast iron or plastic diaphragm actuated control valves are used for reliability and corrosion resistance. Automatic regeneration controls are standard on all systems.

Design Features Include:

Fiberglass tanks – fiberglass reinforced polyester resin pressure vessels are provided for corrosion resistance. They are seamless, rated at 150 psig and meet the requirements of NSF, UL and UPC.
Steel tanks – lined steel pressure vessels are provided. The vessels are heavy duty steel tanks rated for 100 psig operating pressure and are lined with an FDA approved epoxy inside and primed outside.
Specialized media – filter media is selected to produce the highest quality effluent while maintaining low pressure drop and providing long filter runs.
Multi-port control valves – are furnished with all brass construction, Teflon-coated motor driven piston and a programmable regeneration timer on the DMF and ACF filters.
Diaphragm valves and stager – the MMA, ACA, MMS, ACS and DMS Series filters utilize diaphragm actuated Y pattern valves for their higher flow capabilities. The valves are constructed of thermoplastic materials or cast iron and include a timer and stager for programmable, automatic regeneration.
Automatic flow controls – included to provide controlled backwash and rinse flow rates.
High flow distributors – two grades of gravel are combined with high flow hub and lateral or header lateral distributors to provide even flow distribution with low pressure drop.
Regeneration interlock – used to start or stop other equipment when the filter regenerates.
