Whitter Filtration's L'eau Claire Upflow Filter

The L'eau Claire upflow deep bed media filter provides a ready- solution for the treatment of water used in industrial facilities. Installed and operational, the L'eau Claire upflow filter has established an unmatched track record for performance. It delivers water with a total suspended solids content that is virtually independent of influent concentrations. This cost effective process does not use clarifiers, flocculation, sedimentation, dry chemicals or mixers.

Theory of Operation

L'eau Claire upflow deep bed media filters are designed for removal of fine suspended particles and colloidal material such as silica. The concept of upflow filtration offers the ability to have in-depth media loading allowing three times the amount of solids loading as conventional downflow media filters.
