HUBER Sandfilter CONTIFLOW®
The HUBER Sand Filter CONTIFLOW® is a continuous, self-cleaning sand filter designed for mechanical filtration of wastewater. The filter is developed for effective removal of fine particles and is typically used as polishing after biological treatment or as pre-treatment upstream of advanced treatment stages.
CONTIFLOW® differs from conventional sand filters through its continuous operation, where the filter media is cleaned continuously without interrupting operation. The solution ensures stable and consistent effluent quality and provides a robust foundation for downstream treatment processes where high clarity and operational reliability are required.

- Polishing after biological treatment
- Pre-treatment for quaternary treatment
- Treatment of process water
- Treatment of combined sewer overflows and stormwater
Benefits
The HUBER Sand Filter CONTIFLOW® is designed for stable and reliable mechanical filtration, with a focus on effluent clarity, process robustness and simple operation.
Continuous operation and ongoing cleaning of the filter media allow the system to operate without shutdowns and without the periodic backwashing required by conventional sand filters. At the same time, the solution is robust and well suited to handle varying hydraulic and solids loads.
- Continuous filtration without operational interruptions
- Effective removal of fine particles
- Stable and consistent effluent quality
- Low energy consumption based on gravity operation
- Simple operation with limited maintenance requirements
- Well suited as pre-treatment upstream of advanced treatment processes, including quaternary treatment
