Media Filtration
General Summary
A media filter is a type of filter that uses a bed of sand, zeolite, carbon or other material to filter water for drinking, swimming pools, aquaculture, irrigation, stormwater treatment and other applications. Clinoptilolite is an aluminosilicate mineral of the Zeolite mineral group. The calcium form of the mineral is an effective water filtration medium and is replacing sand as the medium of choice in both domestic and municipal applications worldwide.
Applications
Potable water, industrial process water, recycling/reuse of waste or storm water, aquaculture.
Benefits and Features
- The structure of Clinoptilolite is unaffected by either acidic or alkaline media.
- The filter is long lasting.
- Filters are much more easily 'back-washed', i.e. longer cycle times are possible.
- Contaminants are trapped down to the molecular level – binding capacity is high.
- Less water is used for back-flushing – as much as 20% less.
- Pressure drop is smaller.
- Bacteria, algae and phyto-planktons can be removed.
