How CAST connects: influent to pump to tee-in and bypass, through CAST modules into the existing plant train
Influent → pump → tee-in / bypass → CAST modules (top ports) → parallel manifold → existing plant train

Hydraulic path

  • Influent from your source feeds a pump, then a tee-in at the top ports of each CAST module.
  • Treated flow leaves CAST through a parallel manifold into your existing plant (clarifier, IX, GAC, UF/RO, or as configured).
  • CAST pretreats only — the plant stays in place. We don’t tear out. We tee in.

Bypass (pilot-ready)

  • A bypass valve at the tee-in can redirect flow around CAST so the plant runs without CAST.
  • Especially useful in pilot: flip a lever or control valve anytime.

Footprint, power, and modules

  • Small pad at the plant — not a rebuild. For shipping: three CAST modules fit on a standard 48×40 in pallet (transport scale, not how each unit sits in the field).
  • No additional power requirements. No electricity required for CAST itself. No moving parts.
  • Each module: 20–200 GPM. Higher total flow by assembling modules in parallel — a building block, not a ceiling.
  • Scale by throughput, volume, need, and target constituent of concern.

Sensing

  • Pressure sensors at influent and at plant end.
  • Water quality sensing between CAST modules and between stages in the plant train where applicable.
  • Most systems already meter key parameters — Flotration connects through your API or SCADA when available.

Service and fouling

  • Fouling response depends on water quality and the target constituent of concern.
  • Lift the inner workings of the CAST and pressure-wash as needed. Aluminum construction is essentially non-fouling.

Engagement path

  • Basic intake → 60-minute scoping call → one-page ROI → paid on-site pilot to prove performance on your stream.
  • After proof-up: water-as-a-service commercial model (savings-share), not a large CapEx purchase to start.
