Vertical Leaf Filter
Non-Membrane Wastewater Filtration for Particles < 1 Micron
The GEE Vertical Leaf Filter (VLF) System is ideal as a final step water polishing system to filter out particles smaller than one micron.
The VLF produces membrane quality water without the hassle of membranes. Perfect for use after the GEE EOX wastewater treatment, the VLF is an unmanned, fully automated, turnkey package.
The system is a non-membrane, non-plugging, non-fouling technology. The system continuously adds filter aid, creating a new filter surface and eliminating plugging. The VLF’s robust design means it has lower consumables, longer lifespan and lower operating costs than membrane technologies.
Sectors & Applications
Problems Solved
The Science Behind the VLF
The never-ending problem with membrane-based water filtration systems is that they constantly plug and foul. It takes manpower, toxic chemicals and downtime
to maintain them. The VLF from GEE removes the membrane downtime problem entirely because the system continuously regenerates its filters automatically
so performance remains high. The system is designed to remove up to 2% solids. Moreover, the VLF can be run unmanned—saving you operations and maintenance
(O&M) costs and consumable expenses.
