Recent orders have been received from two Irish Companies for more TOVEKO continuous gravity sand filters for small tertiary filtration applications.

The first is for a model S-150 filter destined for a country golf resort in County Wexford . This has a filtration area of 1.5m 2, and will easily handle a flow rate of 15m 3 per hour, making it suitable for a population equivalent of approximately 1,800.

The filter will be used to achieve a discharge quality of 5mg/l suspended solids, a quality that has been proven to be achievable in previous contracts in Ireland , where this relatively stringent requirement is becoming increasingly common. 

The second order is for a model S-25 (“Mini”) filter. This variant of the standard TOVEKO filter design was developed with the small user specifically in mind. With a filtration surface area of 0.25m 3 it can easily handle flows up to 2.5m 3/h, making it ideal for small packaged plants designed for population equivalents up to approximately 300.

Each TOVEKO filter is pre-assembled complete with its own control system and tested prior to delivery to site. This makes site installation quick, simple and cheap.

The low height of TOVEKO filters makes them ideal for environmentally sensitive sites where tall structures are not permitted, and also permits gravity flow where systems are installed above ground.
