Choose Orthos for BAFs/ BACs

3 REASONS TO CHOOSE ORTHOS FOR BAFs / BACs

Orthos has demonstrated a long track record of success in BAFs and BACs and with our monolithic design, repeatedly responds to utilities demands of resiliency, reliability, and permanency.

Velocities under a monolithic underdrain are relatively low, which reliably leads to good backwash and air scour distribution.  The plenum volume buffers changes and provides uniform water and air flowrates across the filter floor.
