Sand Filter System Activated Carbon Filter System Guide

Sand Filter System Activated Carbon Filter System Guide

Sand Filter System Function.

It uses quartz sand as a filter medium. Under a certain pressure, the water with higher turbidity is filtered through a certain thickness of granular or non-granular quartz sand, which effectively intercepts and removes suspended solids, organic matter, and colloids in the water. Particles, microorganisms, chlorine, smell and some heavy metal ions, etc., ultimately achieve the effect of reducing water turbidity and purifying water quality.

Activated Carbon Filter System Function.

The activated carbon filter can absorb the residual chlorine from source water. To prevent the reverse osmosis membrane from being oxidized and degraded, Meanwhile it also adsorbs pollutants such as small molecular organics leaked from the previous stage. , It has obvious adsorption and removal effect on peculiar smell, colloids and pigments, heavy metal ions, etc., and also has the effect of reducing COD. The SDI value of RO inflow can be further reduced to ensure SDI<5 and TOC<2.0ppm.

FRP industrial carbon filter

How Does Them Work?

Water enters the top of the vessel and passes through one or more layers of filter media. Particles are physically retained in the void spaces between sand grains, producing cleaner water at the outlet.

Process flow:

Source water→Pumping to tank→Feed water pump → mutimedia filter(sands filter) →Carbon filter →Micro filter.

Common filter materials:
Quartz Sand
Activated Carbon
Manganese Sand

carbon filtration system

Design basic:

Raw Water Types:

  • Underground water / Borehole water

  • River water

  • Tap water

Inlet Water Parameters:

Parameter Requirement
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) ≤ 1000 ppm
Water Temperature 5 – 45°C
pH Range 6.5 – 8.5
Hardness (as CaCO₃) ≤ 600 mg/L
Turbidity ≤ 10 NTU
Silt Density Index (SDI) < 5
Iron (Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺) < 0.3 mg/L
Manganese (Mn²⁺) < 0.1 mg/L (If Fe > 0.3 or Mn > 0.1, aeration + iron/manganese removal filter is required)
Free Chlorine < 1.0 mg/L (RO membrane protection)

Control method:

Activated Carbon Filter System use full/semi automatically control model, both model can be exchanged accordingly. Sand Carbon filter & water softener with auto and manual back flush.

Protected when no power, poor power, larger electrical current, leakage, short circuit

Two pumps, one for backup(when another fault)

Sand Filter System Activated Carbon Filter System have three materials to choose:

Material Name Features
Stainless Steel (SUS304/SUS316) Corrosion-resistant, durable, hygienic, attractive appearance. Typically used in the food and beverage industry.
FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) Cost-effective, Lightweight, anti-corrosion, suitable for any industry.
Carbon Steel with Epoxy Coating  high strength, anti-corrosion treatment,  Extremely long service life.

     FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic)                                   Stainless Steel                                                Carbon Steel with Epoxy Coating

Stainless steel sand filter

Scope of application:

1.  Used in industrial water, domestic water and municipal water supply systems that require effluent turbidity ≤5mg/L to meet drinking water quality standards;

2. Removal of suspended solids and solids in industrial sewage;

3. It can be used as pretreatment equipment in ion exchange softening and desalination systems, and coarse filtration equipment for industrial water supply that does not require high water quality;

Buying Guides for Sand filter and activated carbon water filter price

To find the most appropriate sand filter carbon filter system for your use, please have the following information ready:

1.Product water flow rate ( m3/hr, m3/day, Liter/hr,GPM,GPD etc.)

2.Product water purpose(industry process or others)

3.Feed Water Tubidity,colour, Is it from Borehole/salt/brackish/lake water

4.Iron

5.Manganese

6.TSS(Total Suspended Solid)

7.SDI(Silting Density Index)< 3

8.Water must be free from oils and grease

9.Chlorine must be removed

10.Power (110/220/380V/415V/460V, 50 or 60 Hz) 3 phase.

·  It is necessary to make water analysis reprot for borehole water,lake water, seawater.

·  If soure water is tap water no need end to us TDS or water analysis report.
