Pressure Sand Filter (PSF)

A Pressure Sand Filter (PSF) is a type of water filtration system commonly used in water treatment and purification processes. It is designed to remove suspended solids, turbidity, and other impurities from water by passing it through a bed of sand or other granular media under pressure.Fine mesh sand along with gravel of different sizes are used as the filtering Media. It isused to filter out turbidity from Raw Water up to level of 25 NTU. Pressure Sand Filters are widely used in municipal water treatment plants, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and residential applications. They are effective at removing suspended solids, sediment, turbidity, and certain types of contaminants from water, making it suitable for drinking, irrigation, process water, and other uses. In addition to sand, other granular media such as anthracite, garnet, or multimedia filters may be used in Pressure Sand Filters to enhance filtration efficiency or target specific contaminants based on the water quality requirements.
