BEAD FILTERS

In fact, compared to high rate sand filters, bead filters comply with three of the major sustainability issues summarized in the LEED Green Building Rating System. Bead Filters operated with water pumps typically operate at low pressure (horsepower requirements, as well as energy consumption). Bead filters specifically designed to use airlift pumps for circulation operate with less than one psi headloss. Additionally, backwash water loss rates for Propeller Bead® Filters are as low as 10% and PolyGeyser® Bead Filters are as low as 1% of those experienced by typical sand filters... Aquaculture Systems Technologies, LLC (AST) was founded in October 1995 to manufacture and market "Bead Filter Technologies" which were first developed at Louisiana State University's Civil and Environmental Aquatics Systems Laboratory in the early 1990s by Dr. Ron Malone... AST's patented bead filter solutions provide superior water clarification and biofiltration for commercial aquaculture and wastewater..
