Filter for Drinking Water: TRITON®

 

 

TritonTM is a filter underdrain system totally made of stainless steel. It’s a direct retention of the filtering media. The Tritonä underdrain design is based on Johnson screens technology of the stainless steel wedge-wire welded to “U” shaped channel rods.. These channel rods are perforated in order to allow uniform distribution of air/ air+water/water during washing.

Its main functions are:

  • Maintain media filter bed (sand, activated carbon, anthracite,…)
  • Drain and collect filtered water
  • Ensure homogeneous distribution of air and water during backwash phases

Its principal advantages are:

  • Low height profile: 130 mm approx.:
    * more water volume can be cleaned (increasing capacity)
    * more media can be applied (increasing efficiency)
  • Wedge-wire technology:
    * reduces clogging
    * provides the highest open area and lowest headloss
    * longer cleaning cycles
    * superior filter performance
  • Direct media retention:
    * eliminates the need for support gravel (saving labour&material costs and increasing media depth)
    * slot opening fitted to size of sand and tight slot openings maintained (increasing effectiveness of filter bed)
    * fine, mixed media can be directly applied: granulated activated charcoal can be directly applied
  • Channel rod technology:
    * provides thorough air/water distribution, circulation and mixing when backwashing (eliminating dead spots and mud balling)
  • Unique curved scallop design:
    * very strong and able to withstand heavy loading
    * increases surface collection area to 108% of the filter basin (providing superior cleaning and backwashing and reducing dead zones)
  • Adaptable:
    * can fit any basin configuration
    * adapt to any floor condition (not impacted by a surface that is not completely level)
    * adapt to any type of backwashing system
  • Lightweight and simple design:
    * quick and easy installation
    * no special tools, grouting, field assembly or adhesives required
  • No filter bed upset and filter media leakage:
    * eliminates costly basin shutdown and repairs
    * decreases replacement of underdrains and media

Fluid circulation during process:

Filtration mode:water goes through media bed, then through tritons slots, along channel rods, through channel rods holes, through distributor pipe and finally along channel.


Backwash/air mode: water goes through channel, then through distributor pipe, goes along tritons length, through channel holes and escape through slots, cleaning the filter media.
