MULTIMEDIA SAND FILTERS

Multimedia sand filters are widely used for water treatment, removing suspended solids and particulate matter. They consist of media layers with different sizes, allowing effective filtration. Physical and biological mechanisms work together to trap and remove contaminants as water flows through the filter bed.

Media Types

  1. Sand
  2. Gravel
  3. Activated carbon
  4. Anthracite

ADVANTAGES

⸺ Effective Filtration

The use of different media with varying particle sizes enhances filtration efficiency, effectively removing a wide range of suspended solids and particulate matter.

⸺ Extended Filter Run

The layered structure of multimedia filters helps prevent clogging, resulting in longer operating times between backwashing cycles.

⸺ Versatili

Multimedia filters can handle diverse water qualities and flow rates, making them suitable for various applications and water sources.

⸺ Low Maintenance

Compared to other filtration systems, multimedia filters generally have lower maintenance needs, with periodic backwashing being the primary requirement for media cleaning and regeneration.
