Stainless Steel Multimedia Filtration Units 2x 35,000 GPD & 1x 50,000 GPD - Kuwait

A commercial multimedia filtration unit is designed to separate sediment from water in order for usage such as drinking, swimming, or bathing. The Pure Aqua plant used the following typed of media for the filtration bed: Sand, Anthracite, and Gravel. The sand is the most common of the three Medias, it is a fine and used to remove suspended solids and turbidity. Anthracite, a type of coal, is used to compact the filtration bed and avoid turbulence when the backwash is initiated. Gravel provides bed support evenly and promotes good water flow due to its spherical shape. Multimedia filters are important to water purification because they catch suspended solids from all types of water and help water systems continue to cycle and not get backed up.

Large concentrations of suspended solids present results in a reduction in water quality. This outcome occurs in the form of turbidity which produces undesirable effects such as color alterations, smell, and taste issues in the water. Scaling can also result due to suspended solids and significantly hampers the performance of equipment and utilities utilized across industries. For these reasons, multimedia filtration systems are depended upon within applications that require high quality treated water. Media filtration has proven to be the most effective treatment method in regard to suspended solids reduction.
