Proflor System

The PROFLOR high-density concrete underdrain system is a single, poured-in-place concrete floor supported by adjustable uPVC columns, incorporating air/water backwash nozzles.

The system can be incorporated in most filtration applications including single media or multimedia for potable water treatment, advanced wastewater treatment, and various industrial filtration systems.

PROFLOR underdrains are ideal for many retrofit applications since few restrictions exist regarding filter size or orientation.

PROFLOR UNDERDRAIN FEATURES & BENEFITS

Proflor filter underdrain systems are not only less expensive to own and maintain, but they also cost less to install since the rebar and concrete are obtained locally, minimizing shipping and handling costs.

Other key advantages of the PROFLOR Underdrain System:

  • High-impact, moulded polystyrene forms and nozzle adapters designed to withstand rigors of installation without deflecting or breaking.
  • Easy installation with single-pour concrete.
  • Simple installation of air-water distribution nozzles and nozzle adapters, with no adhesive required for each nozzle.
  • Nozzle size selected for specified filter media.
  • Proflor has the highest nozzles density on the market, namely 52 nozzles per square meter.

STRUCTURAL DESIGNS

The standard structural designs will ensure applied loads, during backwashing or filtration. We design for each individual application with the minimum uplift pressure of 1 bar.

APPLICATIONS

  • Drinking water
  • Process water
  • Wastewater

HOW THE PROFLOR SYSTEM WORKS

Aquazur’ PROFLOR underdrain high-density concrete underdrain system is a single, poured-inplace concrete floor providing superior structural strength and simple installation, even in retrofit applications.

The key component of the PROFLOR underdrain system is a high-impact, moulded polystyrene form. When concrete is poured into the form, it becomes a permanent part of the filter underdrain without deflecting.

Each form includes nozzle adapters into which the distribution nozzles are threaded after the concrete is installed. Disposable, threaded plugs are included to prevent concrete from entering the nozzle adapters.

Even the posts which support the monolithic floor are formed in the same single pour of concrete.

PROFLOR underdrrain incorporates air scour without use of precast underdrain components.

Once the concrete is cured, the plugs are easily removed, and the polypropylene nozzles are installed.

A finished PROFLOR underdrain installation is not only strong, but it’s also less likely to suffer installation-related problems leading to media leakage or other operational difficulties.
