High Speed Magnetic Clarifier vs. Microfilter
- Lower capital costs
- Less pressure drop
- Not subject to membrane fouling and scaling
- Lower chemical and lower energy costs.
- Smaller footprint – a nominally 5’ wide x 10’ long x 7’ tall
High Speed Magnetic Clarifier at 100-200 gpm versus 30 gpm membrane filter with dimensions of 24'×12'×16'. - No hazardous chemicals used
High Speed Magnetic Clarifier vs. Dissolved air flotation (DAF)
- Better water quality
- Lower energy use.
- High Speed Magnetic Clarification does not require air compressors.
- Smaller footprint
- Less costly
High Speed Magnetic Clarifier vs. Gravity clarifier/sand filter
Smaller footprint (i.e.: 12'×20' clarifier and 6'×10' sand filter approximates a nominally 5’ wide x 10’ long x 7’ tall High Speed Magnetic Clarifier)
- Lower capital costs
- No filter fouling by oil and greases, bacterial growth, polymer overdose or scaling
- No floc floating problems
