Filtration Systems
Remove What Shouldn’t Be in the Water
Solari Water and Energy designs filtration systems around the water source, application and required treatment outcome removing suspended solids, reducing turbidity and preparing water for more effective downstream treatment and use.
Filtration Designed Around the Water
Solari Water and Energy selects filtration around the characteristics of the source water, the application and the quality required for its intended use. Rather than treating filtration as a standalone process, we consider what needs to be removed, the demands of downstream treatment and how filtration fits within the wider water system. This allows each filtration stage to perform a defined role within a treatment approach designed around the conditions and operational requirements of the site.
Assess the Source Water
Understanding suspended solids, turbidity and other physical characteristics helps establish what filtration is required within the treatment process.
Select the Treatment Approach
Different water conditions call for different filtration stages. The objective may be solids removal, finer polishing or preparation for subsequent treatment.
Integrate With the Wider System
Filtration can operate as one module within a broader treatment train, working alongside other technologies where the water-quality objective requires it.
Cleaner Water Starts With Effective Filtration
Suspended solids and turbidity are more than a visual water-quality issue. Fine particles, organic material and other suspended matter can place additional load on treatment equipment, interfere with downstream processes and contribute to deposits within the wider water system.
Effective filtration removes this physical load early, creating more consistent water conditions for the treatment stages and infrastructure that follow.
Protect Downstream Treatment
Reducing suspended solids before water reaches subsequent treatment stages can help those processes operate under more controlled conditions. It also reduces the amount of particulate material being carried into pumps, pipework, storage and other components of the wider water system.
Create Better Conditions Across the System
Filtration can be used for primary solids removal, turbidity reduction or polishing, depending on the source water and the required outcome. By dealing with the physical load at the appropriate point in the treatment train, the system that follows starts with water that is better prepared for its intended use.
Evidence in Real-World Treatment
Solari Water and Energy’s filtration experience spans municipal drinking water, industrial treatment and challenging wastewater applications. These projects demonstrate filtration working as part of complete treatment systems selected around the incoming water conditions and the quality required downstream.
Isisford, Queensland,
Municipal Water Treatment
At Isisford in Central West Queensland, Solari OV AFM filtration was installed at the town’s water treatment plant, replacing an older sand filtration system. The installation combined primary filtration with two OV AFM 700-series units for downstream polishing.
Square Pharmaceuticals
Process Water Pretreatment
At Square Pharmaceuticals, an existing pretreatment system was replaced with a process incorporating aeration, coagulation, ZPM mixing and AFM® filtration to protect downstream reverse-osmosis membranes and UV treatment from iron and biological fouling.
Stirling Landfill
Leachate Treatment
At Stirling landfill, AFM filtration formed part of a treatment process for challenging landfill leachate, working alongside biological treatment and aeration to improve water quality before downstream management.
Filtration Technologies
for Real Conditions
Solari Water and Energy applies different filtration technologies according to the solids being managed, the required water quality and the role filtration needs to perform within the wider treatment process. From fine-media filtration and polishing to the separation of heavier solids, the system is selected around the water and operational requirement.
OV AFM Filtration
Remove fine suspended solids, reduce turbidity and provide effective water polishing. It can be configured for drinking, process and wastewater applications, with filtration selected around incoming water conditions and downstream treatment requirements.
Supporting Filtration
with Effective Mixing
The ZPM Static Mixer supports filtration by creating controlled mixing within the water stream. Positioned upstream where required, it can improve the distribution of treatment inputs and support coagulation and flocculation before water reaches the filtration stage.
ZPM Static Mixer
The ZPM Static Mixer provides controlled in-line mixing within the water stream. Used upstream where required, it supports the effective distribution of treatment inputs and can assist coagulation and flocculation ahead of filtration.
Better Water Quality from the Start
Effective filtration begins with understanding the water, the operational demands and the treatment outcome required. Solari Water and Energy designs filtration as part of the wider water system — selecting and integrating treatment around the conditions on site.
