• Down-flow, depth filtration
• Four media, coarse to fine
– High effluent quality
– High solids holding capacity
– Prevent solids breakthrough
– Long runtime
• Light to heavy
– Stratification after backwash
• Ferric dosing at inline static mixer
for rapid mixing
• Flocculation in the headspace of
FilterClear (no purpose built
flocculation tank needed)
FilterClear: High Effluent Quality @ High Solids Loading

Trial Observations – Backwash control
➢ Filter designed to backwash on pressure
differential
➢ Pressure controlled backwash was not
sufficient in higher flows and also
morning flow peaks.
➢ A layer of flocs developed during low
flows
➢ The backwash return had to be restricted
during storm events to 6 l//s to meet
consented FFT +10%.

Operational issues – Instruments
➢ All instruments required additional maintenance
➢ The ortho P instrument was not sufficiently reliable
for control purposes
➢ The iron monitor frequently alarmed for high iron,
inhibiting ferric dosing or shutting the plant down

Trial Observations – Media loss
• Media loss noted after a few months
• The reason for the media loss was a combination of increased
viscosity of water in cold weather and biofilm growth due to
shutdowns.
• Backwash adjusted with temperature factor

Lessons Learned
➢ Thorough site audit is essential to understand the existing plant performance and site constraints
➢ Fully account for solids loading, including effluent TSS and chemical sludge production.
➢ Jar tests can be very useful for diagnose and trouble-shooting
➢ Chemical dosing control need to be adjusted in response to any changes
➢ Instrument selection, location, cleaning & maintenance
➢ Feed pumping control
➢ Hydraulic checks, including storage and backwash control & return

Trial Conclusions and Recommendations
➢ FilterClear is capable of achieving TP of 0.1mg/L,
but not without challenges
➢ Online instruments need to be maintained and
calibrated regularly
➢ 2-3 months for optimisation
➢ Plan for up-skilled operators and increased
maintenance
