Applications for AFM
Application
clients
basic details and photos
Drinking Water
  • Scottish Water
  • Suffolk & Essex Water
  • AFM is certified for drinking water treatment
  • AFM has been under going trials and evaluation for drinking water treatment for 10 years.  Full scale systems are now being installed
  • more information
Extensive trials of AFM over 10 years have confirmed that AFM will remove at least 30% more solids from the water than can be achieved using sand. Full scale systems  are now being installed in the UK on-line with public supplies

Swimming Pools
  • Leisuredrome, public swimming pool
  • Marriott Hotel group
  • David Lloyd Health Centres
  • Garratts International Leisure Complex
  • over 100 installation worldwide
  • more information

 

The Leisuredrome is a 25m pool with 800 visitors per day, and probably the best water quality of any pool in Europe. The local authority will be using AFM in all future swimming pool developments

case study

Aquariums and aquatic parks
  • Kelly Tarltons Underwater World
  • The Deep
  • Zoo Amneville
  • The Scientific Centre of Kuwait
  •  Aquarium Burger’s Zoo Arnhem
  • more information

 

Using AFM in you sand filters will dramatically improve the water quality and clarity.  The tubidity will probably be reduced by 50% and visibility doubled.

Tertiary treatment of sewage effluent
  • Thames Water
  • Scottish Water
  • United Utilities
  • Northumbria Water
  • South West Water
  • Anglian Water
  • more than 50 system world-wide
  • more information

water quality before and after AFM
Waste Water & grey water treatment
  • Gray water treatment
  • Ford motors, UK, Spain & Germany
  • Carlsberg, UK
  • Chiquita Central America
  • Paper mills around the world
  • Radio Active waste water treatment
  • High pressure boilers, condensate water and cooling towers
  • Industrial laundries

Ford are progressing with full scale system in UK, Spain and Germany.
Desalination  and membrane pre-filtration  

AFM  protects the membranes and any pre filtration system such as cartridges. The AFM filter can is some cases reduce the solids loading and bacterial fouling by an order of magnitude, which represents huge savings in membranes and pre-filters .

Fish Farms
  • Stolt Sea Farms, the largest fish farming organisation in the world use AFM filtration systems to treated their influent water.
  • Marine Aquaculture Centre, USA
  • AgriFoodVeterinary Authority Singapore (AVA) Marine Aquacuture Centre, St Johns Island.
  • Installations world-wide
  • more information

 

Typically 3000 litres per minute water in-take filtration  system for seawater abstraction. Almost all of the main hatchery intake system N.Europe and many effluent systems as well as recycled water filtration
Cooling Towers
  • Cooling towers for many different industries
  • recirculation water treatment
  • combined with NoPhos
  • more information

AFM has a much higher thermal stability than silica sand, it will also remove at least 30% more solids from the water. AFM does not support bacteria,  indeed sand can support  a 1000 times the number of bacteria.  The use of AFM can therefore make a major impact on the quality of the water and the level of bacteria in the recycled water.
