The Spruce Filter Applications and Benefits

The Spruce Filter can be used across a wide variety of water applications.

  • Drinking water:Reduces turbidity, suspended solids, iron, manganese and algae species
  • Waste water: Secondary and tertiary treatment: reduces turbidity, suspended solids, BOD and COD
  • Desalination: Acting as a pre-treatment to SWRO the Spruce Filter™ is capable of reducing the SDI<3 without the use of chemicals, protects the RO membrane, improves site performance and significantly reduces the frequency and cost of membrane cleaning.
  • Rain and Grey Water: The Spruce Filter™ is a proven technology to reduce suspended solids and their associated contaminants from rain water and recycle it for commercial use.
  • Pre-treatment: Ideal for UV, membranes, GAC: Improves performance and increases life span of these packaged technologies
  • Cooling Towers: Reduce legionella risk, water costs and chemical consumption
  • Industrial Water Process: Reduces particulate matter and turbidity

Implications

Resulting in:-

  • Reducing costs
  • Protect CAPEX and OPEX budgets
  • Civil engineering savings
  • Low maintenance
  • Ensure discharge compliance
  • Reduced carbon
  • Energy savings

Performance

  • Tertiary Filtration Waste Water, Suspended Solids >90% removal
  • River Water-Suspended Solids >95% removal
  • Bore Hole-Suspended Solids >98% removal
  • Sea Water-Suspended Solids >98% removal : SDI < 3

Competition: Rapid Sand, Microfiltration, Dual Media Filters

Performance Benefits

  • Flow rates up to 5x faster than treatment media filters
  • remove 15x more suspended solids than rapid sand
  • More efficient backwash
