Initial Rainwater Fiber Disc Filter

Description

I. Product Overview

The Initial Rainwater Filtration System is a high-efficiency filtration device developed for the characteristics of initial rainwater, including high pollution load, large water volume fluctuations, and complex composition (containing sediment, oil, debris, etc.). Its core function is to rapidly remove suspended solids (SS), colloids, oils, and organic matter from initial rainwater through physical interception by customized fiber filter cloths. This reduces the load on subsequent treatment units and prevents direct discharge pollution to receiving water bodies (rivers, lakes). The system emphasizes "shock resistance, strong interception, and easy maintenance," adapting to sudden flow peaks and pollutant variations in initial rainwater without complex pretreatment. Designed for urban roads, industrial zones, and commercial areas, it is a critical equipment for sponge city construction and non-point source pollution control.

II. Working Principles

1. Impact Buffering and Pretreatment Stage

   Collected rainwater first enters a front buffer tank, where coarse floating debris (e.g., branches, plastic bottles) is intercepted by a grating (5-10mm aperture) to protect filter cloths. The buffer tank temporarily stores peak flows, stabilizing filtration.

2. High-Efficiency Filtration Stage

   Buffered rainwater flows via gravity into the filter tank. Water permeates from the outer to inner side of the filter cloth, efficiently intercepting sediment (≥10μm), oil-bound particles, and colloids. During filtration, the rotating disc remains stationary, allowing coarse particles settled by gravity to fall into the bottom sludge hopper, reducing filter cloth load.

3. Adaptive Backwashing Stage

   Raw water enters the main tank, flowing through the filter cloth via gravity. Treated water exits through the filter disc and central pipe for discharge or reuse. As suspended solids accumulate on the cloth surface, filtration rate slows, raising water levels. When levels reach a preset threshold or after a set runtime, a negative-pressure backwashing program activates. The filter disc rotates slowly, and contaminants are thoroughly removed without interrupting filtration.

4. Emergency Sludge Discharge Design

   The bottom sludge hopper has a slope ≥60°, with pneumatic valves timed (or triggered by liquid levels) to discharge coarse sediment rapidly, preventing secondary pollution from accumulation.

IV. Product Features

1. Strong Shock Resistance

   Withstands SS fluctuations (50-1000mg/L) during rainfall. Buffer tank + overload filtration design ensures effluent SS <30mg/L, resolving "run-through" issues in traditional filters.

2. Targeted Interception of Complex Pollutants

   Effectively removes sediment (≥10μm), road oil (emulsified/free), and tire debris, preventing black-odor water bodies or eutrophication.

3. Adaptive to Intermittent Operation

   Auto-starts with rainfall; dormant during dry periods. No manual intervention required.

4. Flexible Installation & Compact Design

   Modular units fit narrow spaces (e.g., roadside green belts, parking lots). Minimal civil work required, ideal for urban retrofits.

5. Low Maintenance Costs

   Durable filter cloths (≥2-year lifespan); simple backwash system (≤30 min/day maintenance); low energy consumption (≤2.2kW per module).

V. Applications

1. Urban Roads

   Filters sediment, oil, and dust from road runoff, preventing river pollution.

2. Industrial Parks

   Pretreats factory runoff (containing spills, wash water), reducing biochemical load on wastewater plants.

3. Commercial & Residential Areas

   Purifies parking lot/plaza runoff for irrigation or landscape reuse, enabling rainwater resourceization.

4. Sponge City Integration

   Serves as end-filtration for bio-retention facilities (e.g., sunken gardens), enhancing infiltration/reuse safety.

5. Airports/Ports

   Treats runoff from runways/docks (containing jet fuel, cargo dust), meeting strict water protection standards.

This system addresses the core challenges of initial rainwater pollution (heavy load, volatility, treatment difficulty) through scenario-optimized design, delivering efficient purification and easy O&M. It provides a cost-effective solution for urban non-point source pollution control and rainwater management.

VI. Maintenance & Operation Guidelines

1. Routine Maintenance: Inspect and clean filter cloths every 3–6 months depending on pollutant load.

2. Backwash Optimization: The system automatically adjusts backwash frequency based on SS levels, ensuring efficient operation.

3. Sludge Management: Sludge hopper design allows rapid discharge of coarse sediments, minimizing manual intervention.

4. Energy Efficiency Tips: Operate during natural gravity flow periods to reduce pumping energy.

5. These guidelines ensure long-term system performance, reduce downtime, and extend the service life of the filter media.

VII. Buying Guide

Selecting the correct rainwater filtration system depends on several key factors:

1. Flow Rate

   Determine the expected peak flow during rain events.

   Choose a system capacity that can handle these fluctuations without compromising filtration efficiency.

2. Water Quality Requirements

   Define the target water quality for your application (irrigation, industrial reuse, or discharge).

   The fiber disc filter system can typically reduce suspended solids to ≤30 mg/L.

3. Site Conditions

   Evaluate available space, inlet/outlet configuration, and existing infrastructure.

   Modular systems allow flexible integration into existing rainwater management setups.

4. Maintenance Capabilities

   Consider your ability to perform periodic inspections and cleaning.

   Systems with automated backwash reduce labor costs but require electrical or hydraulic connections.

5. Manufacturer Support

   Choose a rainwater filtration system manufacturer with proven experience and local support.

   Check for warranty, parts availability, and technical assistance.
