Case study CFE
Conventional filtration systems do not meet the efficiency requirements to face the water scarcity issues we are dealing with nowadays.
Sand and anthracite filters have been around for hundreds of years; however, the current challenges in water management demands more efficient technologies that can generate better filtration quality at lower costs with less footprint and more efficiently and sustainably.
Starting in 2009, we led one of our first industrial-scale projects using Zeomedia in a new filtration system for the CFE (Federal Electricity Commission) in México.
After some field tests Zeomedia was in the game and the results were clear:
- Because the system was calculated at a filtration rate of 8 GPM/ft2 vs. 4 for silica sand, the size of the filters was drastically reduced, plus an air injection system was not considered.
- Our client has managed to eliminate the need to coagulate and flocculate before filtration since the system manages to produce an effluent with a quality of 0.7 NTUS.
- Filtration runs were doubled; therefore, the cost of water and energy in backwashing was reduced by 50%.

Zeomedia is the only highly efficient zeolite-based filter media that has been chemically cleaned to optimize its quality and performance.
It generates 60% less waste of water and energy in backwashes per year and up to 50% better filtration quality.
It can increase the production capacity of an existing plant by at least 30% or reduce the number and sizes of filters required per project by half.
We are the only company in Mexico with NSF certification to help you reach the new regulations and parameters marked by the new NOM 127 in the water treatment process.
