Microsand filtration

MICRO SAND FILTRATION | VORTISAND

Vortisand® is a pioneer in the combination of centrifugal separation (vortex effect) and microsand filtration.

In fact, it uses a tangential vortex applied above the sand bed to keep the impurities above the sand bed. The use of centrifugal force over the multilayer sand bed helps to remove suspended solids and significantly increases the effective filtration area within the vessel.

The turbulence creates a continuous cleaning action that acts on suspended solids that accumulate near the inner wall of the vessel. As a result of this effect, very fine sand can be used without the risk of clogging the medium. The water, which is thus freed of most impurities, is then filtered through the fine sand and subsequently discharged. Impurities that are trapped above the sand layer are removed by an automatic washing cycle. This cycle uses less water and less washing time than conventional sand filters for the Vortisand® filter. This process contributes to longer duty cycles and much finer filtration.
