Product Description
ENCOSAND® Continuous Sand Filter is a cutting-edge water filtration system designed for efficient treatment of various water types. It operates on the counter-current principle, enabling both filtration and sand cleaning without any operational interruptions. Its ability to handle high and sudden loads ensures consistent and high-quality output water.
Key Features:
- Continuous Sand Filtration: Operates seamlessly without halting for backwashing, ensuring uninterrupted processes.
- High Efficiency: Achieves superior results compared to traditional fixed-bed filters due to its counter-current functionality.
- Compact & Modular Design: Scalable for applications ranging from small to large capacities.
- Eco-Friendly Operation: Low energy consumption optimized by compressor frequency control, adapting to operational requirements.
- No Moving Parts: Minimizes maintenance costs and enhances operational reliability.
- Multifunctional Use: Suitable for contact filtration, oxidation, and (de)nitrification in various water and wastewater conditions.
How It Works
- Raw Water Distribution: Raw water enters via the inlet pipe and is distributed homogeneously to the filter base.
- Filtration: Water flows upward through the sand bed, where impurities are removed, and clean water is discharged from the outlet weirs.
- Sand Cleaning: Dirty sand is lifted via the air-lift system to the sand washer, where it undergoes hydraulic separation to remove impurities. The cleaned sand is returned to the filter bed.
- Energy Optimization: Air-lift compressors are controlled to adjust sand circulation, ensuring energy efficiency.
Applications
- Urban Water Treatment: For drinking water and advanced wastewater treatment.
- Industrial Processes: Effective in pharmaceutical, chemical, mining, and food industries.
- Surface & Groundwater Treatment: Provides reliable results in varying water conditions.
