HydraSCAPE Skid-Mounted Filtration Systems

HydraSCAPE Skid-Mounted Filtration System

The HydraSCAPE Skid-Mounted Filter System combines efficient heavy solid waste filtering and effective UV sterilization with autmatic operation to increase performance and reduce labor costs.

Each HydraSCAPE System offers commercial-grade corrosion resistant components, quality assembly, strong platforms and turn-key construction. Ships ready for installation.

Filtration Equipment

HydraSCAPE Advantages:

  • Centralized PLC Controller/Monitor Command Center controls auto backwash and UV system operation based upon user-selected commands.
  • NEMA 4X Watertight Power Enclosures featuring: External Pump and UV Power Switches, External Backwash Alarm LED and corrosion resistant fiberglass construction.
  • Automatic Filter Operation reduces routine manual labor
  • VSE High-Output UV Sterilizer provides reliable protection against harmful waterborne pathogens (bacteria & algae). The VSE UV Sterilizer is precisely matched to the specific HydraSCAPE model's flow rate and delivers 30,000 µWs/cm² (required UV dose for waterborne algae/bacteria). The VSE UV features T5 High-Output UV Lamps that are > 80% efficient after 9,000 hours of continuous operation, single-end quartz sleeve/lamp access and heavy-wall plastic UV housing.
  • PSP Filters available in sizes up to 48" at a maximum operating flow rate of 300 GPM. Spun-wound fiberglass and internal bladder resists fracture due to sudden pressure changes.
  • HydraSCAPE Systems are factory tested and turn-key. Each system is electrically and hydraulically tested before leaving our facility. Each HydraSCAPE System arrives ready
    for installation.

HydraPAK Filtration System and HydraFIN Filtration System.

PLC Controller/Monitor

PLC UV Controller/Monitor Command Center

HydraSCAPE Skid-Mounted Filter Systems are operated using the system's PLC UV Controller/Monitor Command Center. Operating commands are placed into the Controller/Monitor's microprocessor by the operator. The PLC UV Controller/Monitor is integrated into the HydraSCAPE's protective NEMA 4X Power Enclosure. Note: All of our electrical enclosures are UL 508-A listed (for safety and electrical code compliance).

HydraSCAPE Turn-Key Filtration

Pumps & Filter Control
The Automatic Backwash Valve receives operating commands, chosen by the operator, from our HydraSCAPE PLC UV Controller/Monitor that include:
Pump Control- Controller turns pump on and off during valve cycles (filter, backwash and rinse).
Backwash Cycle Pressure Switch- Set up initiates backwash based upon the pressure inside
the filter.
Backwash by Timer- Initiation capability allows setting for between 3 and 168 hours.
Backwash & Rinse Cycle- Based upon operator placed commands, backwashing (1-10 minutes) and rinse duration (30-300 seconds).
Backwash Counter- Provides history that identifies backwash frequency.

UV- The HydraSCAPE PLC UV Controller/Monitor is equipped with our basic UV Controller/Monitor features that include:

  • "Lamp Status Screen" provides lamp operating (on/off) status.
  • "Lamp Hours Screen" displays total lamp operating hours for each individual lamp.
  • "Voltage Range Screen" displays default voltage set points as well as actual voltage. When voltage falls outside of the set-points, the UV shuts down automatically
  • "Water Temperature Control" (Over Temperature Shut-Down) monitors the water temperature inside the UV, shutting it down if the water temperature exceeds the factory default set-point of 120°F. This protects the UV from damage when overheating occurs.
  • Output Data Ports send data or alarm information to external sources.

Options
UV Lamp UV-C Output Intensity- The UV Intesity Meter reads in percent lamp output, zero to 100%, with an alarm trip set-point anywhere on the scale. Allows operation of two sensing probes (One sensor probe is included. The second probe must be purchased separately).

Upgrade your Sand Media with Emperor Aquatics, Inc.'s exclusive FilterCLAY
FilterCLAY logo
FilterCLAY Filtering Media

Increase filtering and backwash efficiency with our FilterClay Media. FilterClay is pure, organic clay, finely ground and granulated into specific sized pellets (4 – 8 mm). These are then baked at a high temperature inside a rotary kiln, without the addition of artificial additives, pesticides, or dyes. FilterClay Media weighs significantly less than sand and resists caking, creating a more effective filter bed. FilterClay is better suited for heavy solid waste applications (such as animal exhibits) and provides an exceptional environment for colonizing nitrifying bacteria.


Customizable
Customize your HydraSCAPE Filter System with the Ozone Generator and/or other PLC UV Controller/Monitor options. The photo to the right depicts a 36" HydraSCAPE Filter System with a 7.6 gram per hour ozone generator, oxygen concentrator, ozone contact manifold and the PLC UV Controller/Monitor.


Design/Workmanship
HydraSCAPE Systems are designed to operate efficiently in a confined space. Plumbing assembly is clean and tested for water leaks. Inlet, outlet and waste effluent are located at the front of the skid within inches of each other, reducing excess plumbing. We deliver a high level of workmanship that will ensure years of dependable service!
