Treatment flow: 0,5 m³/h – 100 m³/h

Used for solids removal in drinking water and as a pretreatment for carrying out other treatments. Depending on the physico-chemical characteristics of water required, we have sand filters or disc filters.

• Sand filters

This filtration system catches larger particles suspended in the water remaining in the different layers of sand, because of its different thickness.

• Activated Carbon Filtration

It is a filter containing activated carbon that can eliminate any taste or odor of the water, such as chlorine or mercury. The water flowing through this filter has to be slow in order to allow removing most of impurities in the water.

• Cartridge or disc filters

Is the final step of water to achieve physical polishing, the water passes through a device containing the filter paper with the ability to retain any possible residue suspended in water with an approximate size of up to 0.22 microns, although in the purification plants the typical filter is of 5 micron. When the cartridge is dirty, because of the excessive suspended matter, is changed to another or can be washed and reused.

It is also possible to install systems of self-cleaning or for regular washes.
