Types of Filter Media

Clean and safe water is very important in everyday life. One way to ensure the water we use is safe is by using a water treatment system. This system involves various technologies, including water filter media, which is responsible for filtering out harmful particles and substances from the water. In this article, we will discuss some of the types of water filter media used in water treatment.

1. Silica Sand

Silica Sand

Silica sand is one of the most commonly used filter media in water treatment. This media is made of silica sand grains that have various sizes. Silica sand is effective in removing solid particles, soil, and rust from water. The size of the silica sand grains used will affect the degree of filtration. Silica sand can be used in pressure filters, fast filters, or slow filters depending on the application.

2. Activated Carbon

Activated carbon is another filter media that is often used in water treatment. It is made from organic materials, such as coal, wood charcoal, or coke that are activated through an oxidation process. Activated carbon is very effective in removing odor, taste, color, and organic compounds dissolved in water. It can also reduce the concentration of chlorine and other chemical compounds.

3. Zeolite (Zeolite)

Zeolite is a type of natural mineral used in filter media. Zeolite has a crystalline structure that has many microscopic voids. It is used to remove positive ions such as ammonium, calcium, magnesium, and heavy metals from water. Zeolites are also effective in reducing the levels of nitrate and ammonium ions that can cause water pollution.

4. Manganese Sand

Manganese sand is a specialized filter media used to remove heavy metals, such as iron and manganese, from water. It is made of specially treated sand grains with manganese compounds on the surface. When water flows through this media, the manganese compound will oxidize those heavy metals and allow them to be precipitated or filtered out.

5. Carbon Block Filter

In addition to activated carbon in powder form, carbon is also used in solid block form. Carbon block filters have a high filtration rate and can remove substances such as chlorine, odors, tastes, and fine particles. These filters are commonly used in household filter systems.

6. Filter Paper

Filter paper is a filter media used in a variety of applications, including in drinking water filters and larger water treatment systems. It is often used to filter out fine particles such as sand, dust, and other impurities.

7. Polymer Fiber
