Yucheon Disc Filter
Compact and efficient cloth filtration
Fiber disc filters are proven filtration systems that have demonstrated stability and performance across various water treatment applications. Based on over 40 years of expertise in the water treatment industry, Yucheon Enviro manufactures fiber disc filters that deliver excellent solids removal performance in municipal wastewater and process water treatment.
The filters consist of rotating discs covered with a fine-pored microfiber cloth. The wastewater flows freely through the discs from the outside to the inside, whereby suspended solids are reliably retained on the filter cloth. The purely mechanical filtration makes operation environmentally friendly and economical. The robust filter medium rarely needs to be changed.
A major advantage is the large filter surface area in a small space. This achieves very low discharge values (> 80 % TSS removal) with a small footprint. As the load increases, the pressure loss across the cloth increases, which triggers automatic cleaning. The cloth is backwashed in sections with filtered water or cleaned using suction nozzles – without interrupting operation.
Process advantages
• Reliable removal of BOD, TSS and phosphorus through depth filtration and small pore size
• Flexible and modular design adapted to customer-specific conditions
• Low maintenance costs for testing and replacing the filter material
• Compact design, small footprint
• Low backwash volume, approx. 1 – 3 %
• Low pressure loss, approx. 50 – 250 mmH
• Continuous operation – thanks to automatic in-situ cleaning, no startup time required
• Durable system components, economical replacement
• More cost-effective than comparable systems
Typical areas of application
• Secondary clarification of municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants
• Compliance with strict discharge values for solids and phosphorus (in combination with precipitation)
• Retrofitting of existing plants thanks to modular design
