Res-Kem's municipal water filters clarify water by removing
sediment, turbidity, iron, unpleasant tastes, odors, suspended particles, or
unwanted color commonly found in surface and ground water. With the utilization of the correct pressure tanks, valves, and accurate filter media choice Res-Kem’s municipal water filters can suit most municipal water filtration requirements. Our municipal water filter equipment can be designed for manual, semi-automatic, or full-automatic operation and require very limited technical knowledge.
Res-Kem Municipal Water Filters
Res-Kem municipal water filters utilize several different types of filter beds, including sand, anthracite, in-depth, multi-media and activated carbon. The filter media is installed in steel pressure tanks. Our standard filter designs use steel pressure tanks with an epoxy coated exterior and an NSF certified liner on the interior with stainless steel internals.
- Sand: Commonly used in most standard, municipal water
filtration systems for removal of suspended solids and turbidity.
- Anthracite: Performs nearly identical to a sand bed and
used in municipal water filtration equipment where silica pick-up from sand
is objectionable.
- In-Depth: These beds are composed of several layers of
different media size. In-depth filters allow higher loading rates and longer runs. A sand and anthracite bed is a typical municipal configuration.
In-Depth filters will remove sediment down to the 20-30 micron range.
- Multi-Media: Consists of multiple layers of sand,
anthracite and garnet. Multi-Media municipal water filters remove sediment
down to the 10 micron range.
- Activated Carbon: This water filtration equipment is
recommended for the removal of unpleasant tastes and odors, dechlorination, or
organic contaminant adsorption. Depending upon the exact application a
variety of carbon types can be used.
Quality Tank Construction
All standard Res-Kem municipal water filters include pressure tanks
constructed of high quality welded steel designed for 100 psi working pressure
and tested for 150 psi. ASME code vessels are available. Standard pressure tanks are equipped with inlet and
outlet connections, top mounted loading port (either handhole or manhole), and a
side filter media removal fitting. Due to the corrosive nature of certain
filter media types, all tanks are epoxy lined. Stainless steel or Fiberglass
pressure tanks are available for custom municipal water filters.
Underdrains
 The Res-Kem hub and lateral distribution system is designed to utilize the
entire bed area during all flow rates. This minimizes channeling during periods
of low flow. The standard underdrains (internals) are constructed of stainless steel ensuring maximum corrosion protection and strength.
Optional materials are available to meet most requirements; i.e. CPVC,
Polypropylene or PVC.
Diaphragm Valves
To answer a need for truly trouble-free, labor saving, automated equipment;
Res-Kem engineers designed the ultimate municipal water filter using a "Nest"
of diaphragm valves as the standard. The angular design, high lift, and large seat opening of
these hydraulically operated valves provide a minimum restriction to flow and
reduction of turbulence.
Timer/Controller
The standard method of control for automatic municipal water filters is
accomplished through the use of a heavy-duty "Stager" with an integral clock
timer. The Stager controls the valves to backwash the
filter and return it to service without any manual attention. This control has a built in manual override feature should backwashing be required at times other than at its pre-determined time. PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) versions are available.
