Deep Filtration
What it is Deep Filtration
Deep filtration is a water treatment method that uses a bed of granular materials, such as sand or anthracite, to remove suspended particles from water. The water flows through this granular medium under gravity, where particles are trapped in the spaces between the grains. This process is effective for improving water quality by eliminating turbidity, color, and various contaminants.
How it works
Filtration Mechanism
Water is directed through a column filled with granular material. As the water passes through, suspended particles are captured within the granules.
Granular Media
The type and size of the granular material can be adjusted based on the specific contaminants present in the water and the required level of filtration.
Backwashing
When the filter becomes clogged with particles, the flow direction is reversed to clean the filter, a process known as backwashing, allowing for continued operation.
Applicable Industries
Key Features
Effective Contaminant Removal
Deep filtration effectively reduces turbidity and removes a range of suspended particles.
Durable Media
The use of robust materials like sand allows for long-term filtration capabilities.
Cost-Effective Operation
Reduces the need for extensive chemical treatments, lowering overall operational costs.
Easy Maintenance
Backwashing allows for easy cleaning and prolongs the life of the filtration system.
