These filters are used for the elimination of particles suspended in water for industrial applications. They usually consist of one or several layers of washed silica sand of a suitable grain size for the solids to be eliminated. They may optionally include anthracite or another filtration material.

This equipment can be used for clarifying mains water or for the reuse of waters treated in physical or chemical treatment processes.

Advantages

• A practically cost-free water clarification process.
• No consumption of chemical products.

Applications

Any industry requiring quality water for its production processes.

• Pharmaceutical industry
• Food industry
• Lacquering and anodizing aluminium
