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.

PCMF meets Powdered Activated Carbon
The world's largest pile cloth media filtration system with powdered activated carbon application is being built at the wastewater treatment plant in Dortmund Deusen. The first filter machine has been pre-assembled. We are looking forward to the next 23 PCMFs, in order to remove the powdered activated carbon together with micropollutants from the biological treated effluent in the future.

Start-up of our MiniPolstoffLab
Two filter units with real-time monitoring for the continuous further development of our engineered OptiFiber® pile cloth media and pile cloth media technology have been in operation at our new ARA test site since the beginning of February. Together with our American colleagues from Aqua-Aerobic Systems, Inc. we operate the largest research and development center for pile cloth media technology. We are looking forward to great tests and future development work in the MiniPolstoffLab!

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
-
