EDS Water Management Sand filtration station

This station focuses on the filtration processes for separating solids frequently used in drinking and sewage technology. As in nature, the sand layers are used to retain the undissolved and suspended pollutants via deep-bed filtration as it trickles through. The pollutants are trapped in the sand layer and are deposited as filter cake. With time, the permeability decreases, the water level above the sand layer rises and is recorded via sensing. The sensor signal shuts off the inlet and starts the backwash process.

Parameterization of the filtration process is configured on the PC via the enclosed software, such as the change of the backwash time or the pressure adjustment of the purge air to break up the filter cake.

The structure of the different filter layers with quartz sand and quartz gravel in different grain sizes and corresponding monitoring of the cleaning performance through the transparent filter housing is a special aspect.

The station is fully assembled, wired and tested.

Including a water supply tank/ground water, control system with FluidLab®-EDS Water Management, EasyPort, connecting cables, accessory set and "Getting Started" technical documentation.
