Suspended solids spike.
VelRay X™ keeps running.
Industrial water streams spike, surge, and vary. Traditional filters were built for the average, steady-state water conditions that operators hope exist. VelRay X was built for the conditions that do.
CHALLENGE
The difficult water problem
Suspended solids variability is the biggest challenge that conventional filtration systems struggle to handle. The moment a suspended solids spike hits, bag and cartridge filters blind, self-cleaning screens and disks go into continuous backwash cycles and chemical dosing systems struggle to adjust. Operators become the failsafe — manually changing bags and filters, running bypass modes, and responding to system shutdowns — while water recovery drops, production slows and compliance risk escalates.
VelRay X™ removes suspended solids under the variable conditions that break everything else. It maintains continuous filtrate flow, even during its own cleaning cycle, runs without chemicals or consumable media, and recovers up to 99% of the water it processes.
The result is what experienced operators describe as the dream state: boring filtration. No alarms, no manual overrides, no heroics during off-hours.
What conventional systems cost you
-
Daily bag and cartridge change-outs in high-TSS conditions, with disposal fees on top
-
“Automated” filters that demand manual intervention during every suspended solids spike
-
Backwash cycles that dump 10–15% of influent volume down the drain
-
Coagulant and flocculant programs that add cost, handling burden, and disposal obligations
-
Permit exceedances that land at the worst time:
high-TSS events and compliance exposure coincide
-
Hidden labor: babysitting, alarm response, off-hours call-ins
VELRAY X
Engineered for variability, not averages
VelRay X is an extended-range filter and concentrator that's engineered to conquer suspended solids variability. The system maintains continuous, automated performance when total suspended solids spike - eliminating the hidden labor tax that every other filter transfers back to operators.
EXTENDED FILTRATION RANGE
SUPPORTS HIGH
FLOW RATES
SUPERIOR WATER RECOVERY
INNOVATION
CONTINUOUS SCREEN REGENERATION
The VelRay X system was designed to conquer the TSS variability problem by regenerating its filtration screen more than 35 times per second; this prevents fouling accumulations, regardless of TSS loads. There's no lag and no tipping point where the system falls behind suspended solids loading.
BENEFITS
What changes when filtration stops failing
Every other filter transfers its failure modes back to your people and your budget. The VelRay X eliminates those hidden taxes at the source.
End the babysitting
No bag changes, no media replacement, no alarms during TSS spikes. VelRay X runs unattended across the full range of conditions your process generates — so operators go back to running the plant, not the filter.
Compliance without firefighting
High-TSS events and permit exposure coincide almost exactly. Continuous performance at the upper range of your site’s variability means discharge quality holds during the events that cause exceedances everywhere else.
Better water stewardship
Conventional systems dump 10–15% of influent in backwash. With water tariffs increasing, recovery is a cost line —
and in water-stressed regions, it’s the foundation of a credible stewardship story.
Chemical-free operation
No coagulants, no flocculants, no chemical storage, handling, or disposal obligations. Physical separation does the work, which also protects downstream membrane chemistry in reuse and zero liquid discharge trains.
Downstream protection
When pre-filtration sends suspended solids downstream, membranes foul, heat exchangers scale, and evaporators degrade. Consistent front-end TSS removal protects the millions invested in the equipment behind it.
Attractive total cost of ownership
Cost avoidances add up: no consumables burn rate, documented labor reduction, energy-efficient cleaning, and near-total water recovery.
