Multi Grade Filter/Pressure Sand Filter/Activated Carbon Filter/Iron Removal
The Pressure Sand Filter/Multigrade Sand Filter is a depth filter that makes use of coarse and fine media mixed together in a fixed proportion. This arrangement produces a filter bed with adequate pore dimensions for retaining both large and small suspended particles. This filter performs at a substantially higher specific flow rate than conventional filters. Specific flow rates of 15 – 30 M/Hr. have been successfully obtained for treating water containing 50-25ppm suspended solids respectively to produce a filtrate with less than 5ppm. The Multigrade sand filter can handle feed water upto 25 NTU turbidity and the treated water from this range of filters will have NTU.
Special Design
Working Principle
In a Pressure Sand Filter, water is passed through multi layers of filter media consisting graded sand, pebbles and gravels layers. The contaminants in the water are captured in the media bed and filtered water passes into the discharge manifold at the bottom of the tanks. The next and last step is backwashing, a process of effectively removal of captured contaminants from the media bed. After back-washing the filter is rinsed with raw water and after the required quality of water is achieved the filter is put back into service.
