    Sand Filter

    A pressure sand filter consists of a pressure vessel containing layers of sand and gravel that filter water as it flows downward. Raw water enters the top and flows through the sand which traps suspended particles. As the filter becomes clogged, the pressure drops until cleaning is needed by backwashing water in reverse to loosen trapped particles. A multi-grade filter uses different sized media to filter at higher speeds while removing suspended solids and other impurities, depending on the selected media.

    Pressure Sand Filter

    Product Description
    A typical pressure sand filter consists of a pressure vessel - this could be either vertical or
    horizontal-fitted with a set of frontal pipe work and valves, graded sand supported by layers of
    graded under bed consisting of pebbles and silex, a top distributor to distribute the incoming
    water uniformly throughout the cross section of the filter, and an under drain system to collect
    filtered water. Fig 1 shows the arrangement of a vertical pressure sand filter.

    Working Principle
    In pressure sand filter raw water flows downwards through the filter bed and as the suspended
    matter- which has usually been treated by addition of a coagulant like alum- is retained on the
    sand surface and between the sand grains immediately below the surface. There is steady rise
    in the loss of head as the filtration process continues and the flow reduces once the pressure
    drop across the filter is excessive.

    The filter is now taken out of service and cleaning of the filter is effected by flow reversal.
    To assist in cleaning the bed, the backwash operation is often preceded by air agitation
    through the under drain system. The process of air scouring agitates the sand with a scrubbing
    action, which loosens the intercepted particles. The filter is now ready to be put back into
    service.

    Multi Grade Filter (Activated Carbon Filter, Iron &
    Manganese Removal Filter, Dual Media Filter)
    Product Description
    Multigrade 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 0.82 – 1.64 ft/min have been successfully obtained for treating waters
    containing 25 – 50 ppm suspended solids respectively to produce filtrate with less than 5 ppm.

    Working Principle
    It is similar to Pressure Sand Filters.

    Features
     Higher specific velocity
     Raw water can be used for backwashing the filter
     Design for Different impurities Removal Purpose based on Select ion and Grades of
    Media
    Applications
    The Shreyans Multigrade filter is an ideal choice for all applications where a conventional
    sand filter is used. It is also used in cooling water and in potable water treatment. It is ideal for
    filtration of clarified water. The Based on Selection of Specific Media, the Multi Grade Filters
    can be designed for removal Suspended Solids, Turbidity, Color, Odor, Iron, Manganese etc…
