SEDIMENTATION AND FILTRATION
The sedimentation and filtration processes work together to remove suspended solids, turbidity, and other particulate matter from the raw water prior to disinfection. Sedimentation allows heavier particles to settle out under controlled flow conditions, reducing the load on the downstream filters. Filtration then polishes the water by capturing fine particles that remain, ensuring a clear, high-quality effluent. Together, these processes form a critical stage in producing safe, aesthetically pleasing drinking water while protecting public health.
TECHNOLOGIES
AWC’s ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis and nanofiltration systems are available in a variety of materials, configurations and membrane types. These systems are available individually or as part of an integrated solution.
Ovivo's Reactor Clarifier Solids Contact Clarifiers are ideal for softening, turbidity and colour removal in drinking water treatment as well as for heavy metal removal and biological tertiary treatment in wastewater treatment.

Filtration
AWC filtration systems are designed to meet each unique client specification and application. These systems are available with a wide range of media filtration technologies and can include various ancillary components to complete the process.
The Leopold Type S is a dual parallel lateral filtration underdrain designed for uniform air and water distribution, efficient media cleaning, and extended filter runs. Made from durable HDPE it offers strength, corrosion resistance, and flexible installation for new or retrofit projects. Available with I.M.S® media retainers to eliminate gravel layers, the Type S increases media depth, improves backwash efficiency, and lowers operating costs.
