Description
Engineered to optimize treatment
Leopold engineers have been at the forefront of gravity media filtration since 1924. With our expertise, we can help you analyze, evaluate and design your filtration system for high performance and low operating costs.
Our engineers partner with you to:
Evaluate influent water qualities, including seasonal changes and demand requirements, and determine the best pretreatment options.
Select the best media characteristics, media quality, bed composition, bed depth and grain size distribution to match the filter configuration, influent quality, pretreatment processes and required filtrate effluent quality.
Determine optimal loading rates and best design configuration to meet site conditions and operational requirements.
Design the backwash process to restore original head loss, maintain solids storage capacity and maximize filter runs while minimizing power costs and wastewater generation.
Water challenges addressed:
Aging infrastructure
Harmful algal blooms
Water scarcity
Contaminants of emerging concern (pharmaceuticals, personal care products)
Cryptosporidium and giardia
Disinfection byproducts
Taste and odor
