This feature article outlines the effectiveness of Amiad Filtomat Microfiber automatic self cleaning filter technology when used in reverse osmosis (RO) pretreatment for the production of potable water. The Filtomat provides effective prefiltration of various water sources prior to RO. It examines how the pre-filtration technology operates and how it can be integrated into a RO system. They include details on a project developed and installed by Veolia-OTVB at Folkestone and Dover Water Services’ (FDWS) Denge Water Treatment works, UK, in 2004. We evaluate the effectiveness of the Filtomat units on site for filtering groundwater sources and draw on FDWS’s operational experiences since commissioning.
