Water Filtration
Water Filtration
Sand Filter/Multi Grade filter
-
A sand filter or multi-grade filter is a water filtration system that removes suspended particles and turbidity by passing water through layers of sand, gravel, and other media. The top layers trap larger particles, while finer media capture smaller ones, resulting in clear water.
- Multi-grade filters enhance this process by using layers of different media sizes, improving efficiency and handling higher flow rates. They require minimal maintenance and can be backwashed to clean trapped contaminants, making them effective for water treatment in various settings, including industrial and municipal applications.
Iron Removal Unit
- Iron removal units are designed to eliminate excess iron from water, preventing issues like staining, metallic taste, and clogging in pipes.
- These units typically use oxidation and filtration, where iron is converted into insoluble particles and then filtered out.
- Air, chlorine, or other oxidizing agents are introduced to convert dissolved iron (ferrous) into solid particles (ferric).
- Commonly used media include sand, manganese greensand, and activated carbon, which help capture oxidized iron particles.
- The removal of iron improves water quality, prevents staining of clothes and fixtures, and enhances the lifespan of plumbing systems.
- There are different types of iron removal systems, such as pressure filters, gravity filters, and aeration units.
- Regular backwashing is required to clean the filter media and maintain the efficiency of the unit.
- Iron removal units need periodic maintenance to ensure proper functioning and prevent media clogging.
- Some units can also remove manganese and hydrogen sulfide, which often accompany iron in water.
- Iron removal units are used in residential, industrial, and municipal water treatment systems to ensure clean and iron-free water.
Activated Carbon Filter
- Activated carbon filters are widely used to remove impurities, odors, and harmful chemicals from water and air.
- These filters work through adsorption, where contaminants are trapped on the surface of the carbon material.
- Activated carbon is highly porous, providing a large surface area that enhances its ability to adsorb pollutants.
- They are effective in removing chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, and other harmful chemicals from water.
- Activated carbon filters improve the taste and odor of water by removing chlorine and organic compounds.
- These filters are commonly used in drinking water purification systems, aquarium filters, and air purifiers.
- They require regular replacement or reactivation to maintain their efficiency, as the carbon can become saturated over time.
- Activated carbon filters are available in various forms, including granular, powdered, and block carbon.
- They do not remove minerals, salts, or heavy metals from water, making them ideal for improving taste without affecting essential nutrients.
- Activated carbon filtration is a cost-effective and low-maintenance solution for enhancing water and air quality.
