Granular medium pressure filters
Granular Media Filtration is the process for the removal of turbidity and suspended solids by the passage of water through a porous medium.
The filtration process results in a gradual accumulation of retained solids within the granular media, which require intermittent removal by a filter backwash cycle.
This cycle typically comprises both air and water wash phases, to effectively loosen and flush out the retained solids to waste.
Filters are classified according to the types of media used as:
- single-media filters, when there is only one type of filtration media, as sand or activated carbon
- dual-media filters, when there are two types of filtration media, as sand and activated carbon, or sand and manganese dioxide
- multi-media filters, when there are three or more types of media
The choice of the filtering media depending on the applications and target of the filtration process.
Envotech filters GMF class offer excellent performances due to the precise design, the quality of the materials and the components, the careful construction and the severe tests performed on each unit.
Main applications of our pressure filters GMF are:
- filtration of well water
- filtration of surface water (river or lake) with or without in line flocculation
- iron and manganese oxidation and removal, organic pollutant removal
Main operating data are:
- pressure 2 – 5 bar
- testing pressure 5 – 7.5 bar
- backwash pressure 1.5 bar
- working temperature 3 – 40 °C
- head loss 0.7 – 1.2 bar
