ACTIFLO®
The Actiflo process is a compact, conventional-type water clarification system used in drinking water and wastewater applications that utilizes microsand as a seed for floc formation. The microsand provides surface area that enhances flocculation and acts as a ballast or weight. The resulting sand ballasted floc, display unique settling characteristics, which allow for clarifier designs with high overflow rates and short retention times. These designs result in system footprints that are between 5 and 20 times smaller than conventional clarification systems of similar capacity.
Drinking Water Applications
In drinking water treatment, the Actiflo process is appropriate for use in any application that would benefit from physical-chemical treatment including coagulation, flocculation and settling. It can be applied to ground water, surface water, and spent filter backwash where either better performance or cost reduction is desired. The process consistently displays efficient removals from raw waters containing turbidity (high and low), color, TOC, algae, particle counts, cryptosporidium, iron, manganese, arsenic and other typical undesirable water contaminants.

Industrial Applications
The Actiflo Process is an ideal solution for the production and recycling of process water and pre-treatment of boiler feed or cooling tower make-up water.
Similarly it treats any type of process water as well as most industrial effluents.
Typical uses in the industrial market include:
- solids, organics and colour removal:
- pretreatment prior to reverse osmosis membranes or in combination with the Hydrotech Discfilter™,
- to produce process water for the pulp and paper and food industries;
- removal of heavy metals (lead, cadmium, zinc...) and ashes from power plant and steel mill effluents, or
- polishing treatment to remove suspended solids and associated pollutants.
Wastewater Applications
Municipalities of all sizes can use the Actiflo microsand ballasted clarification process to improve performance and/or reduce costs for primary and tertiary wastewater treatment. The Actiflo process can be applied whenever physical-chemical treatment including coagulation, flocculation and settling is used. The Actiflo process is ideal for storm water treatment including CSO's, SSO's, and other wet weather flows, due to its high performance, small footprint and extremely quick start up time. The Actiflo process consistently delivers efficient removal of TSS, BOD, Phosphorus, COD, metals, fecal coliform, and other wastewater contaminants.
