Filtralite® – Efficiency That Lasts For Decades

Smarter Filtration, Cleaner Water, Lower Costs.

Across the globe, water treatment plants and industries are under pressure: rising energy costs, water scarcity, and increasing demands for efficiency and sustainability. Traditional filter media often struggle to keep up—resulting in short filter runs, frequent backwashing, and higher operational expenses.

Filtralite® offers a proven alternative. Engineered from lightweight expanded clay aggregates, this innovative filter media is designed to deliver higher performance, longer durability, and significant cost savings. It is already transforming drinking water plants, wastewater facilities, and desalination plants worldwide.

Why Filtralite®?

  • Up to 20 m/h filtration rates – far beyond sand and anthracite.
  • 2–4 times fewer backwashes – saving water, energy, and labor.
  • Fast ROI – investment payback in under 3 years.
  • 25+ years lifespan – reliable, long-term performance.
  • Protects RO membranes – reducing biofouling and extending system life.

Proven in the Field – Global Case Studies

  • Angers Water Treatment Plant, France
    By replacing sand with Filtralite® Mono-Multi, filter run lengths tripled—from 20 to 60 hours—while maintaining high water quality and cutting down backwash cycles.
  • Beni Saf Desalination Plant, Algeria
    With Filtralite® as pre-treatment, the plant increased productivity by 45%, reduced fouling on RO membranes, and lowered operating costs.
  • Annecy Wastewater Treatment Plant, France
    Filtralite® Clean enhanced biological filtration, providing optimal conditions for biofilm growth and significantly improving the removal of contaminants.
  • VEAS Wastewater Treatment Plant, Oslo, Norway
    One of Europe’s largest facilities has used Filtralite® for over 25 years without replacing the media—clear proof of its durability and efficiency.

The Filtralite® Impact

With its unique porosity and lightweight design, Filtralite® not only improves treatment performance but also helps plants meet environmental and economic goals—delivering cleaner water, lower costs, and a more sustainable future.
