Sand Activated Carbon Filter

Sand and carbon filtration are typically used for achieving supplemental removals of suspended solids and pathogens not destroyed by the clarifocculation process. Sand and carbon filtration are equipped with automated backwash system in order to keep a high level of efficienza.These filters are normally used to remove suspended solid substances that cause turbidity from water. Their operation is very simple and consists in allowing water to pass through several layers of quartzite (sand) and, possibly, a layer of anthracite.
