Continuous Sand Filter for Efficient Effluent Cleaning - China Factory & Suppliers Solutions

The continuous sand filter, a highly efficient water treatment solution offered by leading China suppliers, operates based on the innovative counter-flow principle. Incoming raw water enters through the water inlet pipe and is evenly distributed across the sand filter’s bottom. The water then travels counter to the flow direction, rising from the bottom to the top of the filter bed. Here, the filtered liquid collects at the top and exits through the overflow port, ensuring optimal filtration performance.

This advanced filter system utilizes a unique mechanism where the filter material, saturated with dirt and impurities, is transported to the sand washer located at the top via an air lift pump. Through a process of turbulence, pollutants are effectively separated from the filter media. The contaminants are then expelled through the flushing water outlet while the clean sand returns to the bed under its own weight. This process promotes continuous filtration, making it an ideal choice from reliable factory options in China. Additionally, wastewater from the sand washing process is strategically directed through a specialized discharge pipe, ensuring efficient operation and maintenance.

    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 system

    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 a continuous sand filter?

    Raw wastewater is introduced into the sand bed from the bottom water distributor. As the water flows upward through the sand bed, impurities are filtered out, and the purified clean water is discharged from the outlet at the top.

    What is the function of the sand circulation system?

    The sand bed continuously moves downward while the water flows upward. An airlift pump 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 sand bed for reuse.

    How does the compressed air system assist in cleaning the sand?

    Compressed air is introduced at the bottom of the sand lifting pipe. It pushes the mixture of dirty sand and water upward. The intense friction during the lift separates the dirty suspended solids from the sand particles.

    How is the sand washed in the sand washer?

    The sand falls through the annular space of the washer and is washed by a counter-current flow of filtered water. This flow is driven by the liquid level difference between the clean water and the sand washing water.

    What parameters does the monitoring and control system regulate?

    The monitoring and control system mainly regulates compressed air pressure, water inlet volume, and sand circulation volume to ensure a stable and continuous process operation.
