State of the art biofiltration for all your wastewater applications.
Physical & Biological Treatments Using a Single Up-flow Reactor
Influent wastewater enters through a header box and flows by gravity into the bottom of the Proteus filter
Influent flows upwards through a packed bed of Proteus media beads, where particulates are trapped, and through a strainer box that retains the media
Oxic/anoxic conditions can be designed based on the location of air diffusers relative to the floating media
A layer of filtered effluent is stored in the top of the reactor as backwash water. The filter media is backwashed by gravity (no pumping) using only its own effluent.
Filtered water leaves the Proteus filter with reduced TSS and BOD and continues to the next stage in the treatment process
Defying Limitations to Overcome Critical Constraints in Wastewater Treatment
Exceptional BOD & SS Removal Rates
Minimize CAPEX by Retrofitting Existing Civil Structures
No Disruptions from Clogged Rags & Debris
Space Savings Design Boasts Smallest Treatment Footprint
No Need for Additional Chemicals

Innovative
Proteus Plus
The upgraded Proteus Plus configuration adds a layer of aerated biofilm for high-rate biological treatment which does not require chemicals or redirection of biomass.
Patented EPP Media
The expanded polypropylene (EPP) media design provides the ideal surface area to build biofilm for high solids loading rates.
Pre-engineered Solutions
Easy construction option for management of primary wet weather flows, capacity increase, or as a tertiary bolt-on for nutrient control.
Versatile
Primary Treatment
Retrofit old conventional primary clarifiers to save space, increase capacity and upgrade processes by grabbing more solids upstream of aeration basins and sending them to digestors for maximum energy efficiency.
Secondary Treatment
Achieve higher water quality standards and comply with effluent discharge limits with a range of secondary treatment functions, such as BOD reduction, nitrification, and denitrification.
Tertiary Treatment
Configurable to operate under various water quality conditions and achieve stable water quality for reuse applications or alternatives to water resources.
Wet Weather Treatment
With continuous aeration capabilities and no settling required, the system can manage high peaking factors and variable flow rates, simplifying the treatment of dilute flows.
Groundwater
The Proteus biofiltration process is highly effective at remediating contaminants such as nitrate, perchlorate, and organics to meet Federal Maximum Contamination Level (MCL).
