EPA CEVRE - Drinking Water Filtration
Filtration Systems are mechanisms used to separate unwanted particles, contaminants, or impurities from a fluid. These systems are used in a wide range of applications, from water purification to air cleaning, food production to the pharmaceutical industry. Applications of Filtration Systems - Filtration of drinking and domestic water - Purification of products in the food and beverage industry - Removal of iron and manganese from water - Removal of suspended solids and certain harmful substances from treated wastewater prior to discharge - As a pre-filter before water treatment systems - Reuse of cooling water Filtration systems are important technologies for both human health and environmental protection. With the right filtration method, a cleaner environment and healthier life become possible.
Filtration Unıte are created y placing multiple different filter mineral materials (usually filter materials such as quartz sand, zeolite, anthracite and garnet, activated carbon ) with different granulometry (grain size) grades in layers on top of each other inside a ody. These layers take on the task of capturing particles in the water and separating them from the water.
Multimedia filters are used for water purification in a wide range of applications:
- In process water treatment,
- As pre-filtration efore reverse osmosis (RO),
- As pre-filtration efore demineralisation systems,
- For pre-filtration of municipal tap water or well water,
- For pre-filtration in sites, apartments and villas,
- For removing final turidity from treated wastewater.
