Efficient Continuous Sand Filter for Water Treatment - China Suppliers & Factory Solutions

The continuous sand filter, designed based on the counter-flow principle, is an essential solution for effective water treatment. In this advanced system, raw water enters through the inlet pipe and is evenly distributed via a water distributor at the filter's base. The water then flows counter to the sand filter bed, moving from bottom to top. The finely filtered water is collected at the top and exits through the overflow port, ensuring high-quality output.

,

Our sand filter features an innovative mechanism where the filter material, which captures dirt and impurities, is transported to the sand washer located at the top using an air lift pump. This process generates turbulence, effectively separating pollutants from the filter media. The contaminants are flushed out through the dedicated outlet, while the clean sand is gravity returned to the bed, enabling continuous filtration. Sand washing wastewater is managed through a specialized discharge pipe.

As a leading supplier and factory in China, we are committed to providing top-notch continuous sand filters that enhance water quality and ensure sustainable operation. Experience the reliability and efficiency that comes from our expertly designed filtration systems.

    Product Description

    The continuous sand filter is mainly composed of five parts: water filtration system, sand circulation system, compressed air system, sand washer, and monitoring and control system:

    Water filtration system

    Raw wastewater enters the sand bed from the water distributor through the water inlet pipe. The water is purified as it passes upward through the sand bed. After filtering, the clean water is discharged from the water outlet and enters the clean pool.

    Sand circulation system

    While the water flows upward, the sand bed continuously moves downward. Driven by compressed air, the dirty sand is lifted from the bottom of the sand bed through the sand lifting pipe to the sand washer and cleaned. of sand falls back to the top of the sand bed.

    Compressed air system

    Pass the air into the storage tank through the air compressor, and then pass it into the bottom of the sand lifting pipe. The mixture of dirty sand and water is pushed upward through the sand lifting pipe. Strong friction will push the dirty suspended solids upward. separated from the sand. Released at the top of the riser pipe, the dirty water is discharged.

    Sand washer

    At the top of the sand lifting pipe, the sand falls through the annular space of the sand washer and is cleaned by filtered water in the opposite direction to the falling direction of the sand. The flow of filtered water is driven by the liquid level difference between filtered clean water and sand washing water.

    Monitoring and control

    The main control points are compressed air pressure, water inlet volume, sand circulation volume, etc. By equipping an online monitoring system, stable process operation goals can be achieved.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How does the water filtration process work in this system?
    Raw wastewater is introduced into the sand bed from the water distributor through the inlet pipe. As the water flows upward through the sand bed, impurities are filtered out, and the purified clean water is discharged from the outlet to the clean pool.
    What is the function of the sand circulation system?
    The sand circulation system ensures continuous filtration. While water flows upward, the sand bed moves downward. Compressed air lifts the dirty sand from the bottom to the sand washer at the top, where it is cleaned and returned to the top of the bed.
    How does compressed air help in cleaning the sand?
    Compressed air is introduced into the bottom of the sand lifting pipe. It pushes the mixture of dirty sand and water upward. The intense friction during this ascent separates the dirty suspended solids from the sand, which are then discharged at the top.
    How is the sand washed inside the sand washer?
    At the top of the lift pipe, sand falls through the annular space of the sand washer. It is washed by filtered water flowing in the opposite direction. This counter-current flow is driven by the liquid level difference between the clean filtered water and the sand washing water.
    What parameters are monitored by the control system?
    The monitoring and control system manages critical process variables, including compressed air pressure, water inlet volume, and sand circulation volume, ensuring stable and efficient continuous operation.
