Filtration Technologies
Filtration Technologies
Filtration systemsBy effectively removing suspended solids (sediment, rust, mud, sand, and similar particles) from water, it improves water quality and maintains the efficiency of water-powered devices and systems. Filtration, one of the most fundamental and essential steps in the water treatment process, supports the effectiveness of advanced treatment technologies by providing precision at the desired micron level.
Filtration technologies play a critical role, particularly in pretreatment processes. By removing physical contaminants from water, they improve its appearance and reduce the burden on more sensitive treatment systems. This, in turn, lowers operating costs, reduces maintenance frequency, and extends system life.
🟦 Sand Filtration Systems
Sand filtration systems are one of the most effective and economical solutions for removing suspended solids (mud, sediment, rust, etc.) that cause turbidity in water. These systems: compact designs, fully automatic control systems And low operating costs It is especially preferred in industrial and commercial areas.
The system consists of a mineral bed containing quartz and graded gravel layers. This structure allows water to be purified from particles down to 20 microns. When properly designed and operated efficiently, sand filters reduce the load on subsequent filtration systems, improving overall system performance.
Additionally, automation valves automatically perform backwashing at predetermined times or depending on pressure. This process uses only water, so no additional chemicals are needed for backwashing. However, for this process to be effective, the correct water pressure And flow calculation is necessary.
Things to Consider When Selecting Sand Filtration Systems:
Additional pre-treatment required before the system
Bed height and water flow rate
Capacity of the automation system
Minimum flow rate and pressure required for backwashing
Areas of Use:
Food and beverage industry
Pre-treatment before reverse osmosis
Chemical and pharmaceutical industry
Treatment of surface and groundwater
Boiler feed water treatment
Supply of clean drinking and utility water
🟦 Activated Carbon Filtration Systems
Activated carbon filtration systemsActivated carbon is a high-performance treatment solution used to remove unwanted odors, colors, taste disturbances, chlorine, detergent residues, organic matter, and industrial chemicals from water. The active carbon mineral that forms the basis of these systems is generally By processing coconut shells at high temperatures Activated carbon, which has a large surface area (approximately 1,200 m²/gr), is obtained by physical filtration. absorption It works with the method.
The activated carbon mineral in the system becomes saturated over time and becomes unable to absorb chemicals such as chlorine. Therefore, it must be completely replaced at regular intervals. Furthermore, bacteriological control is crucial because activated carbon accumulates organic matter; otherwise, these substances can become a food source for bacteria.
Activated carbon systems consist of quartz and activated carbon minerals housed in polyethylene or stainless steel tanks. Controlled by fully automatic, timed valves or manual surface piping systems, these units utilize water-only backwashing.
Areas of Use:
Pre-treatment before reverse osmosis systems
Food and beverage industry
Chemical and pharmaceutical industry
Microbiologically safe drinking water
Garden irrigation systems after grey water treatment
Groundwater and surface water treatment
Production of clean and healthy drinking water
