AtlanFilter
TERTIARY STORMWATER FILTRATION CARTRIDGES
Our cartridge filter system, AtlanFilter, is a tertiary stormwater filtration system that incorporates an upflow treatment process which maximises surface treatment area. Flow through the filter cartridges utilises a self-regulating siphon which results in a low maintenance and high performance treatment of stormwater runoff. The automatic backwash at the end of each storm event further lengthens the lifespan of the stormwater treatment filter.
Hydraulic pressure forces water through the filter media — causing a constant velocity throughout the filter area realising a consistent media contact time and therefore treatment. Upon completion of a stormwater treatment cycle, the filter backwashes and effectively dislodges particulates from the filtration layers.
Features & Benefits
Advanced Filtration Technology
Utilises up-flow filtration to effectively capture pollutants such as sediment, hydrocarbons, heavy metals, phosphorus, nitrogen, and total suspended solids (TSS).
Compact Design
Compact footprint with fully customizable configurations, accommodating anywhere from 1 to an unlimited number of filter cartridges, making it ideal for constrained sites with minimal installation space.
High Efficiency and Low Hydraulic Head
Delivers excellent pollutant removal with just 250mm of hydraulic head, making it suitable for flat or low-gradient developments.
Durable Construction
AtlanFilter's design has no moving parts which increases reliability, longevity and durability.
Versatile Applications
Suitable for manholes, OSD tanks, vaults, and both trafficable and non-trafficable zones, providing adaptable stormwater solutions.
Easy Installation and Maintenance
Lightweight, no-crane installation with straightforward maintenance and easy cartridge access for pollutant removal.

AtlanFilter (SPEL Filter) FAQ
What are Total Suspended Solids?
Total Suspended Solids (TSS) refer to solid particles suspended in water, which can include materials like silt, decaying plant matter, industrial waste, and sewage. High levels of TSS can harm aquatic life, reduce water quality, and contribute to the pollution of water bodies.
The AtlanFilter is designed to effectively remove 85% of TSS from stormwater, helping to maintain environmental standards and improve water quality by providing capabilities for the removal of heavy metals and other pollutants.
Can you explain primary, secondary, and tertiary stormwater treatment?
Stormwater treatment typically involves three stages:
- Primary Treatment: The first stage involves removing larger particles and debris from the water using screens, sedimentation basins, or grit chambers that trap and settle out solids.
- Secondary Treatment: This stage focuses on reducing organic matter, hydrocarbons, and smaller suspended solids that remain after primary treatment. Separation, biological process, and filtration are commonly used in this stage to further purify the water.
- Tertiary Treatment: The final stage, tertiary treatment, involves advanced filtration methods to remove finer particles, nutrients, heavy metals, and other contaminants that were not captured during primary and secondary treatments. The AtlanFilter system is a tertiary treatment solution, providing a high level of pollutant removal, including TSS, Total Phosphorus (TP), and Total Nitrogen (TN).
How does the AtlanFilter cartridge filter system work?
What pollutants can the AtlanFilter remove from stormwater?
The AtlanFilter is optimised to remove specific pollutants, including 85% of Total Suspended Solids (TSS), 74% of Total Phosphorus (TP), and 59% of Total Nitrogen (TN). Its advanced filtration also targets heavy metals and other contaminants, making it highly effective in treating stormwater runoff in various applications, such as car parks, industrial estates, and transport depots.
