Today’s municipal wastewater treatment system is a marvel of progress since the 1972 Clean Water Act. Even so, these facilities face increasing regulatory pressure to achieve ever greater improvements in discharge quality. Additionally, in many parts of the country, population growth has increased demands on our natural resources, placing additional capacity stress on municipal wastewater treatment systems. Progress in abating pollution has barely kept ahead of population growth, changes in industrial processes, technological developments, changes in land use, business innovations, and many other factors.
Water pollution issues now dominate public concerns about national water quality and maintaining healthy ecosystems. Despite this increased attention, funding sources for new upgrades are getting more difficult to find, creating the need for innovative solutions.
Entex provides the ability to upgrade municipal facilities to meet the needs of increased capacity and improved effluent discharge requirements, often without the need for additional treatment basins. Entex’s Webitat and BioPortz media systems provide a flexible suite of powerful solutions to the challenges facing municipal wastewater treatment systems.
FlowTex™️ is a user-friendly, high-performance, tertiary filter suitable for both small and large flow applications. The FlowTex™️ design incorporates a fixed disk with a rotating vacuum head. This outside-to-inside flow ensures that solids stay trapped within the basin and the stationary disc offers a visual check for clarity of the effluent. The FlowTex™️ system is a low-cost option for use in a wide variety of applications and configurations.
Ease of installation and maintenance
Each disc can easily be replaced. The FlowTex™️ filter system is a complete, factory-built and pre-fabricated system, shipped to site, and ready to be placed into the owner’s excavation site.
