AquaPLC™ Intelligent Drum Filter Controller

Intelligent Controls technology maximizes drum filter performance to ensure the most efficient and economical operation of your drum filter. With IAS’ new AquaPLC™ with Intelligent Controls (IC), drum filters can be set-up and programmed for economical use by responding dynamically to changes in TSS loading. Intelligent Drum Filter Controls allow the buildup of filter cake on microscreen drum screens, which will allow finer solids capture and also prolong intervals between backwash events. Intelligent mode has proven to reduce backwash water usage up to 50%, operate with maximum electrical efficiency and provide overall better water quality to aquatic systems.

AquaPLC™ robust software not only maximizes operational efficiency but also offers critical aquatic life support functionality to protect equipment, issue alarms and allow users superior control and programmability than any other drum filter controller on the market.
