Filtration media of granular filters are made up of particles finer than 2 millimeters. However filter media may consist of different grades of filter medium ranging from gravel to sand. Finer particles in a granular filter are more effective at filtration of wastewater and give better results.
Scourguard ™ Filter Troughs Scourguard Filter Troughs allow for sustained and simultaneous air scour and water backwashing of granular media filters. Scourguard stainless steel backwash collection troughs improve upon traditional U-shaped troughs with specially designed baffles, keeping entrained media from being lost to backwash waste.
5.4Types of filters used inwater treatment: Granular material filters are the most used types of filters inwater treatment. Usuallysand, anthracite, and Garnet. There are three types of granular filters: 1. Single –medium filters : one type of media isused: either sand or anthracite 2. Dual‐media filters: two types of media is used usually sand
Granular media filtration involves a well-defined cycle, beginning when the filter is placed back into service following the removal of previously accumulated particles through backwashing. Following this initial period there is normally an extended period when filter effluent quality is at its best and pressure drop (headloss) is rising although relatively slowly because of particles …
Filtration Granular Media Filtration Conventional filtration involves passing the treatment flow through a bed of media that is typically made of sand (mono-media) or sand and anthracite (dual-media), where suspended particles are physically removed by attachment to the media or previously removed particles.

AWI provides the training and technical support to maintain your filtration system in optimal condition.
RAPID GRANULAR BED FILTRATION. Rapid Gravity Sand Filter. General Description. Rapid granular bed filtration, formerly known as "rapid sand filtration," usually consists of passage of pretreated water through a granular bed at rates of between 2 and use of upflow filters is reported in Latin America, Russia, and the Netherlands.
Granular Media Filters. Granular media filtration is generally used after gravity separation. It removes additional suspended solids and oils before other treatment processes. It is also a polishing step that lowers the levels of suspended solids and associated contaminants in …
Filtration is a process that removes particles from suspension in water. Removal takes place by a number of mechanisms that include straining, flocculation, sedimentation and surface capture. Filters can be categorised by the main method of capture, i.e. exclusion of particles at the surface of the filter media i.e. straining, or deposition within the media i.e. in-depth
General filtration theory maintains that the more filter grains ('collectors') you have in a filter or the smaller the filter media average size the better your filtrate quality will be. This phenomenon has been researched for decades, for example Iwasaki (1937) presented a mathematical model that described the removal of particles based on solids influent load, …
Drinking Water Filtration Using Granular Activated Carbon. Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is commonly employed as an adsorption media in many surface water treatment plants. Most plants, however, also rely on GAC to provide effective filtration, as turbidity reduction is an essential element in maintaining desired water quality.
Gravity filtration through beds of granular media is the most common method removing colloidal impurities in water processing and tertiary treatment of wastewater. The mechanisms involved in removing suspended solids in a granular-media filter are complex, consisting of interception, straining, flocculation, and sedimentation as shown schematically in Figure 1.
FUNDAMENTALS OF GRANULAR MEDIA FILTRATION Gordon Williams, PhD, PE East Bay Municipal Utility District 1
Natural greywater treatment systems such as granular filtration and constructed wetlands are extended systems that use natural media for filtration and biological degradation. A granular filtration system (GFS) is used to remove particulates, organisms, and sediment/solids and to enhance the subsequent disinfection process in water/wastewater treatment ( Tang et …
Removal of Cryptosporidium protozoa by granular media filtration is a critical step in conventional multi-barrier drinking-water treatment, and turbidity is commonly used to monitor system performance. We assessed the efficiencies of 3 different filter media at removing a Cryptosporidium parvum surrogate comprising glycoprotein-coated 4.5 μm polystyrene …
Granular media, rapid rate filters and filter media. Granular, high-density carbon. Filter sand, supplied in bags and pallet packages. It consists of 99.5% SiO2 and is extremely low in trace metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. This makes our filter sand the best sand available for monitoring well systems.
Granular media filtration is used for treating aqueous waste streams. The filter media consists of a bed of granular particles (typically sand or sand with anthracite or coal). The anthracite has adsorptive characteristics and hence can be beneficial in removing some biological and chemical contaminants in the wastewater.
Multimedia filters are also sometimes referred to as dual media, anthracite, granular media, multi-layer or pressure filters. Multi media filters use graded support media layers over the under-drain to prevent the layers from migrating into each other during backwashing. Dissolved Iron Removal uses a specialty manufactured filter
One aspect of the present invention is directed to a granular filter media for removing contaminants from water or other liquids. The media comprise granular materials comprising aggregate and remediation materials. Other aspects of the invention are directed to methods of making and using the granular filter media of the invention.
A coated granular filtration medium is formed by the deposition of an electrolyte layer onto core particles. The electrolyte layer comprises a cationic polyelectrolyte. The coated granular filtration medium provides a synergistic combination of filtration and in situ coagulation that enables efficient, effective, and economical decontamination of industrial and other wastewaters.
Dual Media Filtration Operation – Chadson Granular Filters. DUAL MEDIA FILTER OPERATION. Models VHT & VDF are particularly suitable for dual media filtration, using a capping of Anthracite (or filter coal) on top of a conventional silica sand bed. Whilst the depth of each filter media may vary according to the application and the specific ...
Backwashing the filter media removes the absorbed impurities. Granular activated carbon (GAC) acts like a sponge that filters impurities by trapping them in its larger pores. Unlike anthracite, though, backwashing alone won't remove the impurities absorbed into …
2.2. Filter materials The granular bed filtration applied in this study was based on dual media. Either Filtralite MonoMulti (consisting of Filtralite NC 1.5–2.5mm on top of Filtralite HC 0.8–1.6mm), or anthracite coal, on top of sand layer, were used as filter media in two columns operating in parallel. In both beds the depth of the ...
Media Filtration. Media filtration is a water treatment process that uses granular material to remove impurities. This form of filtration also aids in removing biological matter such as bacteria, algae, protozoa and other pathogenic micro-organisms. Filtration efficiency, backwashing, media replacement, media regeneration requirements, and ...
Deep Bed Granular Media Filters - Deep bed granular media filters use depth filtration and remove suspended solids by allowing the filter influent water to pass downward under the force of gravity. They typically have mono-, dual-, or multi-media beds contained in a square or rectangular box of concrete or steel.

Granular media filtration (GMF) is a process for removing suspended or colloidal particles; for example removing suspended solids remaining after sedimentation clarification. It reduces turbidity and improves clarity by removing various sized particles, from coarse sediment down to 10.0 μm [ 10, 12 ].
