Quartz (silica sand) filtering is a mechanical treatment with the purpose to detain particles bigger than 50 microns such as suspended solids, oxidized iron, sand, etc from water. The filtering process is carried out in a pressurized column and leads the quartzite to a progressive saturation.
The equipment then performs a cleaning operation, automatically inverting the flow of water in the column to recover the original work conditions. The water which exits loaded with suspended solids (oxidised iron, sand, etc.) is sent to the discharge. Once the cleaning operation is over, the filter is newly ready for a new filtering cycle. The amount of water produced for each cycle depends on several factors such as: amount of suspended solids in the water to be treated, diameter of the filter, granulometry of the quartzite and size of the particles.
