Sand Filters: Filtration Media

Sand filters are used to clarify natural waters by removing suspended solids and can be sized based on factors like flow rate and water quality parameters. They typically operate with a filtration velocity of 6-15 m3/h/m2 and contain multiple layers of filtration media like anthracite, sand, gravel, and support gravel. Accessories often include control valves, manometers, and options for automatic or manual backwashing based on time or differential pressure.
