Applications

Pile cloth filtration is the proven technology for tertiary solids removal in municipal wastewater treatment plants. Achieving effluent TSS consistently below 5 mg/L, it provides reliable performance with minimal energy demand and low backwash water consumption.

Advanced phosphorus removal is critical for protecting sensitive water bodies from eutrophication. Our pile filter cloth media, particularly the Bioactive 5µm, enables total phosphorus concentrations below 0.1 mg/L when combined with chemical precipitation — meeting the most stringent regulatory requirements.

As regulations tighten on trace substances and micropollutants, pile cloth filtration serves as an essential pre-treatment step before advanced oxidation (ozone) or adsorption (GAC/PAC). Fine particle removal protects downstream processes and improves overall treatment efficiency.

Our Supermicrofiber pile filter cloth bridges the gap between conventional filtration and membrane filtration. With particle retention below 5µm and turbidity < 1 NTU, it serves as an ideal pre-treatment step for membrane systems — reducing membrane fouling, extending membrane life, and lowering overall treatment costs.

Microplastic pollution is an emerging environmental concern. Pile cloth filtration effectively retains microplastic particles, preventing them from entering natural water bodies. Our Supermicrofiber technology offers the finest retention grade available in cloth-based filtration.

As water scarcity increases globally, water reuse becomes essential. Pile cloth filtration provides the high-quality effluent needed for direct and indirect reuse applications, offering a cost-effective alternative to membrane filtration for many scenarios.

Beyond municipal wastewater, pile cloth filtration is employed in industrial process water treatment, cooling water systems, and various industrial effluent polishing applications where reliable solids removal is critical.
