Hydrasand® Continuous Sand Filter is the most economic sand filter with continuous
cleaning of the sand for efficient effluent cleaning in:- tertiary treatment
- phosphorous removal
- algae removal
- membrane filter pre-treatment
- metal finishing and many other applications
|
Raw influent is fed into the base of the sand filled, cone bottomed filter. The flow then rises through the sand so that clean effluent is discharged over the upper weir.
The rising flow of the effluent is distributed evenly over the whole cross section of the filter by means of a radial grating system.
The contaminated sand falls continuously to the bottom cone outlet from where it is transferred by an external airlift to the wash chamber at the top of the unit.
Final backwashing of the sand is then performed by a counter current of clean water before returning to the sand bed in the isolation box.
The dirty wash water is discharged over the lower weir for disposal.
