Sanitaire Taron activated sludge filter is a compact filtration system for wastewater treatment plants, designed to separate biological solids from activated sludge. System uses rotating vertical discs with micro mesh panels to form a dynamic sludge cake layer for solids removal. Installs directly in bioreactors or as a bolt-on unit, reducing plant footprint by up to 60% compared to traditional clarifiers.

  • Disc filter system for high solids separation in activated sludge processes

  • Handles mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) from 4000mg/L to 12000mg/L

  • Typical filtrate total suspended solids (TSS) less than 10mg/L

  • Power consumption below 0.1kWh/m³

  • Modular design allows retrofit, rental, or new installations

  • Arrives fully configured, requiring minimal civil works and no process interruption

  • Easy stand-by operation for variable hydraulic loads

Applications

  • Municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants requiring solids separation and capacity expansion
