New Generation of Pile Cloth Media
The new generation of pile cloth media with a new backing offers better (bio)fouling resistance and solids load capacity with 100% larger pores, while requiring less energy and less maintenance. Can be used with all our OptiFiber® pile cloth media, such as Ultrafiber, Mikrofiber and Standardfiber.

PCMF in Hessen (Germany)
The Mörfelden-Walldorf wastewater treatment plant is now the first municipal wastewater treatment plant in Hessen (Germany) to eleminate micropollutants and is starting to relieve the Hessian Ries. Until now, the unique combination of pre-ozonation and dosing of powdered activated carbon before Mecana Pile Cloth Media Filtration offers a maximum flexibility and efficiency in the smallest possible space.

PCMF for boat washing systems
Our pile cloth media filters are also in demand in SWISS ELEMENTIC boat washes. The pesticide-laden debris from the boat hull is collected in the basin and the dirty water is cleaned by a Mecana pressure drum filter (MDF). Thanks to regular hull cleaning of the boats, anti-fouling paints and fuel can be reduced. In the process, the MDF makes a major contribution to environmental protection.

Our solutions
A customised and sustainable solution developed according to your needs. We accompany you from the project idea to commissioning and beyond.
Pile Cloth Media Filtration
Mecana, pioneering work for solids removal. A surface filtration process with depth filtration effect in the pile layer. one technology for various application such as:
- Tertiary filtration
- Removing micropollutants
- Drinking water treatment
- Primary filtration
OptiFiber® Pile Cloth Media
Engineered pile cloth with a multi-dimensional structure. The OptiFiber® family offers a suitable pile cloth media with standard, micro or ultra fibers.
OptiComb®
A new Mecana innovation for increasing the filtration area with the same filter surface. The profiled suction lip structures the fluidizable pile layer after filter cleaning. OptiComb® results in higher solids loading and less backwash water.
Rotating Biological Contactor
Biofilm fixed-bed reactors with slowly rotating disks as carrier material. Proven for more than 50 years for the biological treatment of municipal wastewater or groundwater remediation.
Mecana Compact Systems
Combination of rotating biological contactor and pile cloth media filtration as a compact solution. In addition to the biological removal of organic substances and nitrification, the solution offers a low-solids effluent. Areas of application are:
- Alpine huts
- Smaller municipalities
- Tourist resorts
-
