The Glass Beads (GB) products are focusing on a new filtration approach in process areas of Multi Media / Dual Media filtrations. The GB products from Ovivo simplifies & optimizes water treatment filtration processes by improving quality of filtrate and globally volumes treated. The Glass Beads solution has a significant impact on investment cost reduction for new plants. Customer benefits are from a large scale: less equipment, reduced plant size (foot print), improved filtrate, efficient removal of organics, improved operation cycles (less backwash),…

The product is sized in 4 Grades from 0,25 to 4mm.

Below listed few advantages of using Glass Beads:

• No removal of undersized particles after filling in new glass beads required
• No flushing required after filling in new glass beads
• Higher velocity at same differential pressure level
• Higher capacity of retention of suspended solids (long filter cycle time)
• Significant reduction of investment & running costs compared to classic media
• Optimal backwash cleaning due to large and regular pore spaces (organic removal)
• Optimal infiltration in very short time
• Considerably reduced quantity of backwash water and energy
• Long lifetime and increased maintenance intervals
• The glass beads can be conditioned or recycled

The media is available in 4 different sizes
