Pressure sand filter:-
 
 
Introduction:-
 
Pressure sand filter is highly recommended for the removal of suspended & visible impurities like sand, dust particles & heavy metals etc.PSF is an ideal solution for the systems with high sediment, silt, sand, and turbidity.
 
Basic Structure :-
 
 A typical pressure sand filter consists of a pressure vessel - this could be either vertical or horizontal-fitted with a set of frontal pipe work and valves, graded sand supported by layers of graded under bed consisting of pebbles and silex, a top distributor to distribute the incoming water uniformly throughout the cross section of the filter, and an under drain system to collect filtered water. Fig shows the arrangement of a vertical and horizontal pressure sand filter.
 
 
 

Working Principle:-

 
In sand filters water enters in the filter and percolates through the filter bed. Suspended matter present in the water comes in contact with the media particles and is trapped on the top of the bed. Followed by this, clean water comes out through the filtration nozzles and through the filter outlet. Periodically cleaning of this filter is done by backwashing. Water is introduced in the reverse direction of the service flow that is from the outlet nozzle upwards causing suspension of the turbid material in the filter bed & finally flushing out through the backwash valve. The Filter is then down rinsed & clear water is taken in the system.
