Mechanical Filtration

Stage 03 · Polishing out the fine solids

Multi-stage filtration captures suspended solids down to the micron level, clarifying the water for reuse or discharge.

03 / 06
The Technology

After oils are removed, fine suspended solids remain. Mechanical filtration passes the water through progressively finer media — multi-media beds, bag filters and cartridge filters — physically straining out particulate the eye cannot see.

Filtration is what makes water clear enough to reuse in your pressure washer or hand off to a polishing stage. WaterMaze matches the media and micron rating to your water, balancing clarity against filter life.

What This Stage Handles

  • Fine particulate
  • Turbidity
  • Silt
How It Works

Inside the mechanical filtration stage

1

Multi-Media Beds

Layered sand and anthracite trap the bulk of the suspended solids.

2

Bag Filtration

Replaceable filter bags capture mid-range particulate economically.

3

Cartridge Polishing

Fine cartridges bring the water down to micron-level clarity.

Filtration Systems

Wastewater filtration systems

Filtration equipment is used to remove suspended solids from a waste stream. This can include pre-screening debris from clogging downstream equipment, polishing a clarified stream, and dewatering collected solids for improved solids handling.
