CLP Mechanical Filtration System

The CLP is the most advanced and efficient, self-contained wash-water recycling system in its price range on the market. The revolutionary CLP includes two models that are fully automated. The CLP’s exclusive Automatic Maintenance Control system uses a digital sequencer to automatically backwash filters, dispense sludge and monitor and adjust pH and oxidizer levels resulting in cleaner water, reduced odor problems, lower maintenance costs and a smoother operation, to say nothing of the happier, more productive workers.

Three manually operated systems offer an economical alternative with flow rates of up to 30 GPM. All CLP models are easy to install because they are preplumbed and self-contained on an all-steel platform protected by an epoxy powder coat finish.

• A Carbasorb Filter uses up to 320 lbs. of degassed, virgin activated carbon for removal of low levels of pesticides, solvents, benzene, diesel fuel, acetone, and other hydrocarbons.

• Nearly 1,000 lbs of a unique blend of gravel, garnet, sand and anthracite in the Multi- Media Filter provides advanced filtration of suspended solids to 30 microns, eliminating the need in some systems for cartridge filters.

• Cartridge Filters, which are standard in manual systems, provide up to 490 sq. ft. of filtering area and remove suspended solids as small as 5 to 20 microns. The filter housing is extremely easy to access so elements can be removed, cleaned and reused for minimal operational costs.

• Exclusive Automatic Maintenance Controller (AMC) is at the heart of the automation using either digital- or analog-controlled timers (depending on the model) to direct and coordinate the backwashing of filters and purging of solids from the cone-bottom tank.

• An automatic Air-Actuated Valve purges sludge from the cone-bottom tank at a rate of more than a gallon per second. This heavy-duty, non-plugging air valve routinely activates dumping the solids from the tank into a flat container where the water drains back into the sump and leaves the sludge to dry.

• Reliable air valves, mounted atop each filter in automatic systems, routinely reverse the water flow Backflushing each filter with a high volume of water so it always operates at peak effectiveness.

• Durable Chemical-Resistant Tank is made of polyethylene and provides years of rust-free operation. It is cone-shaped for ease in disposing of sludge.

• Durable Steel Frame and Railing is protected by an epoxy powder coat finish with a stainless steel option available for extra harsh conditions.

• A ball valve allows solids to flow into a container for messfree Sludge Disposal. The wastewater drains back to the catch basin.

• The Oil Skimmer removes and separates floating oil and sends captured wastewater back to the collection pit.

• Reliable Filter and Transfer Pumps feature self-flushing seals, which reduce seal abrasion thus extending the life of each seal by as much as 50%.

• There are two secrets to the CLP’s effectiveness. One is the way 10 cone-shaped, oleophilic Coalescing Plates are stacked, providing up to 490 sq. ft. of oil-attracting surface area. The cone-shaped design forces the wastewater to the edges of the tank, which simulates water flowing from a 11/2-inch pipe into a 4-ft. pipe. The reduction in velocity is dramatic! This slowing of the water flow enhances the settling and removal of
