Mechanical filtration
Reduction of mechanical impurities - solid particles. Water may contain varying amounts of particulate matter of different grain size. The finest particles are turbid, for which reduction it is necessary to apply flocculant dosing to ensure the formation of filterable flakes - aggregate particles. This pre-treated water can be filtered by mostly automatic sand filters.
The particle size of 1-100 microns can be filtered using cartridges of mechanical filters with polypropylene filter pads of proper pore size - the quality of filtration. In case of high concentration, it is necessary to use automatic sand filtration plants.
For cold water with a high content of insoluble matter with grain size above 70 micrometers, we use sand separators with manual or automatic deburring. The separator is usually installed with a still mechanical filter with a finer quality of filtration.
