Electromedia® Permanent Filtration Media
The efficiency and effectiveness of any water filtration system is dependent upon the filtration media. Filtronics Electromedia® permanent filtering media is the most effective and economical filtering media on the market today. When combined with our highly advanced system design, Filtronics Electromedia® Systems outperform other available filtration methods such as reverse osmosis, ion exchange or adsorption
Our permanent media solution, Electromedia®, is the heart of Filtronics Pressure Filtration systems. Electromedia® is a proprietary blend of naturally occurring minerals that outperforms any other filtration system available or other treatment methods like reverse osmosis, ion exchange or absorption. Filtering down to sub-micron levels, this remarkable material can filter up to 15 gpm per square foot – with other competing systems running at 3-5 gpm. For municipal and industrial applications that require high-flow parameters, Filtronics offers systems that treat 10 gpm to 20,000+ gpm. Our systems require a short, 4-minute backwash cycle.It's efficient and its permanent: no chemical regeneration or preparation of the media is required.
For plants operating with space restrictions, Filtronics systems have the smallest total footprint in the industry, therefore most of our systems can be installed in the equivalent of a standard 2-car garage!
Additionally, our Electromedia® never becomes contaminated. It is completely cleaned in our short backwash cycle, and has been created to last 2 to 4 decades, not the typical 5-10 years usually associated with filtration media. By using a reclaim system, you can reuse 99% of the back-washed water resulting in more cost and environmental savings.Some of our original Filtronics systems are still running over 30 years later. And by exceeding regulatory standards, Electromedia® keeps your plant running clean, mean and green.
With Electromedia®, you can increase the loading rate up to 18gpm/ft2. This creates several distinct advantages over our competition:
Higher efficiency – The unique properties of Electromedia® allow it to remove more contaminant per surface area.
Smaller footprint – Higher filtration rates means smaller filtration vessels can be used.
Lower chemical usage – Our process generally only needs two chemicals vs four by our competition saving you thousands over the life of the system.
Shorter backwash cycles – The unique blend of EM allows for 4 minute backwash cycles saving thousands of gallons of water.
Less electrical usage – Smaller vessels, less chemicals, shorter backwash means less pumps and lower electrical costs.
Lowest cost of treatment per 1000 gallons produced
