Introduction
A manufacturing company wanted to reduce the load on its Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) and conserve water. The existing sand filter in its system required frequent backwashing, which consumed a large amount of water. Regular backwashing was essential to maintain proper water quality, as insufficient backwashing resulted in higher levels of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS).
The company reached out to Eximious, known for its simple and innovative approaches to industrial challenges.
The Challenge
The company’s sand filter required frequent backwashing minimum was once per shift, leading to:
- Excessive Water Usage – Frequent backwashing resulted in high water consumption
- Increased ETP Load – More backwash water added stress to the effluent treatment system
- High Operational Costs – Water wastage increased treatment costs and resource demands
Maintaining proper Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) levels was critical, but traditional sand filters were inefficient.
The Eximious Solution
Eximious introduced an advanced filtration media to replace sand, offering:
- Enhanced Filtration Performance – Higher dirt-holding capacity for better efficiency
- Reduced Backwash Frequency – Backwashing reduced from once per shift to once per day
- Lower Water Demand – Each backwash cycle used significantly less water, saving resources
Key Results
- Backwash Reduction – From once per shift to once per day, cutting water usage
- Water Conservation – Significant reduction in water waste and operational costs
- Lower ETP Load – Less backwash water meant a lighter burden on the effluent treatment plant
- Quick Payback – The investment in the new media paid for itself quickly, making it cost-effective and sustainable
Conclusion
By switching from sand to Eximious’s innovative filtration media, the company successfully reduced water consumption, lowered operational costs, and improved filtration efficiency. 📞 Contact Eximious to learn how our solutions can help you conserve water and optimize filtration performance.
