System: Stainless Steel Media Filtration

Large concentrations of suspended solids present results in a reduction in water quality. This outcome occurs in the form of turbidity which produces undesirable effects such as color alterations, smell, and taste issues in the water. Scaling can also result due to suspended solids and significantly hampers the performance of equipment and utilities utilized across industries. For these reasons, multimedia filtration systems are depended upon within applications that require high quality treated water. Media filtration has proven to be the most effective treatment method in regard to suspended solids reduction.

Pure Aqua manufactured and supplied a series of stainless steel filtration equipment for a major water treatment company in UAE.

Media filters are designed and manufactured to rid water of suspended particles as well as remove unwanted taste, smells, or coloring. They are made up of different layers of sand and particles with the intention of grasping the smaller particles imbedded within the water. In multimedia filters materials that are light and course are usually on the top of the filter bed while particles that are heavier and finer are at the bottom. This is a great system when it comes to the filter operating to its full capacity. Because of the way the particles are placed in the filter, the entire filter is being used in the purification of the water.

Water Challenges: Much of the drinking water supplied to Americans are extracted from surface water sources such as lakes, rivers, and artificial water bodies. Surface water sources are preferred over groundwater for the reason of being much easier to purify during the treatment process. However, unlike groundwater which is naturally filtered once pulled out from the ground, surface water is vulnerable and accumulates many unwanted impurities, such as bacteria, parasites, and viruses. For this reason, advanced water treatment such as multi-media filters are required to convert surface water (aluminum reduction from water) into fresh, clean drinking water.

Applied Solution: Pure Aqua has manufactured two sets of stainless steel Multi Media Filters, with each tank having a capacity of 330 GPM, and 660 GPM when used in conjunction. The Multi Media Filters to be used in an airport in Abu Dhabi, UAE and were highly successful in treating the issue of contaminated surface water in the area.

Water Challenges: Industrial water is required to go through a process before being used in any manufacturing operations. The unfortunate part is that most of these water are acquired from seawater and brackish water sources, which makes it unable to use throughout industrial applications. Groundwater, rivers, lakers, and other water systems makeup the bulk of water distribution to process, rinse, and boiler feed water. But before being used in these operations, the process water must be treated and undertake filtration procedures to eradicate contaminants and convert into fresh, clean water.

Applied Solution: Pure Aqua designs and constructs media filtration systems for any water filtration or treatment application worldwide. A set of five identical media filters were manufactured for a major company in Saudi Arabia. Each of these tanks has a flow rate of one hundred gallons per minute.

The tanks are designed for use with sand, anthracite, and gravel, which are primarily used for the reduction of large particles and common contaminants.

Water Challenges: The Bottling industry is met with the challenge of requiring high quality water that is free of organic compounds and other impurities such as chlorine, which all work in reducing the drinkability of water. Unwanted effects like bad taste and odor are produced from these organic substances and can lead to harmful risks to human health when ingested within drinking water.

Applied Solution: Pure Aqua specializes in custom water treatment solutions that are designed specifically for each application. Pure Aqua manufactured six activated carbon filtration systems for a major company in Saudi Arabia to remove organic compounds and chlorine for bottling water. These identical systems are designed to produce one hundred twenty-six gallons per minute of high-quality product water. Each of these systems is designed to be manually operated, and will therefore be supervised by an operator, as opposed to automatically run by a computer.

Water Challenges: An untold amount of brackish water resides underneath the world’s surface with great potential to be used for various applications, including consumption. The only problem with this specific water source is that they contain high turbidity, and total suspended solids to be capable of utilizing. The only solution to this problem is treating it with effective treatment such as water filtration, which is done here at Pure Aqua through the designing of filtration systems that works to eliminate elevated levels of turbidity, suspended solids, and other pollutants from brackish water.

Applied Solution: Pure Aqua manufactured and supplied a water filtration system to Najran University, KSA. Since the initial startup, the system has been functioning accordingly with minimal troubleshooting. A commercial water filtration system is manufactured for the purpose of taking out massive amounts of turbidity, particulates, and other contaminants from brackish water. Brackish water is water that is taken from estuaries and river openings. It salt concentration falls in between freshwater and seawater. Not as pure as fresh water, yet not as salty as seawater. Its mild salty concentration is discouraged for human consumption. To generate purified water from brackish water, a water filtration system relies on a method called “reverse osmosis” for assistance. Reverse osmosis accomplishes the massive elimination of salts, particulates, and other contaminants found in water by applying extreme pressure through the use of a pump to the highly concentrated saline side of a partially-porous membrane. The RO membrane only allows water molecules to be carried through the tiny pores of the membrane while salts, particulates, and other contaminants are blocked and dumped into the brine stream then into the drain. This is when clean, potable water comes out and is ready to be collected on the lower end of the membrane. Green sand filters are specifically used to reduce iron for water treatment applications. They utilize green sand which is a type of sand that has a strong capability of reducing iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide from water through oxidation and filtration. Some of the advantages of green sand filters include a reduction in iron over wide pH range, an effective hydrogen sulfide reduction, no dangerous effects from chlorine feed, and a reduced attrition for an extended bed life.

• Media Filtration

Since its startup, the filters has been operating accordingly with minimal trouble-shooting. For satisfactory results, the filters took advantage of the following grades of media: Anthracite, Silica Sand, and Gravel.

Anthracite is a certain type of coal which evaporates quickly and has a higher quantity of carbon than any kind of coal. It is employed as a filter medium to take out lighter weight turbidity and the additional silica that exists in the water. It has a decreased bulk density which promotes massive savings on backwash water.

Silica Sand or silicon dioxide (SiO2) is a popular kind of sand that is recognized worldwide. It is employed as a filtration bed for many particulates, lime-free, and is chemically inert. It is graded in several ranges depending on its practical size and application.

Gravel’s highly spherical shape guarantees good flow and even distribution in support beds. It has low amounts of soluble impurities and protects the quality of treated water, especially in softeners. Coarse, medium, and fine layers of Gravel are recommended in graded support beds.

Water Challenges: Multi-Media Filters are utilized to filter and purify spring water from the presence of suspended solids and turbidity. Spring water treatment utilizes these water filters which are developed and implemented into a system where contaminants, particles, chemicals and other impurities are filtered out of raw water. Media water filters can be utilized in commercial and industrial applications. Multi-media filters are essential in producing clean potable water. Whether it’s for human consumption, commercial, or industrial use, converting spring water into clean, potable water is the cornerstone of providing quality water.

Applied Solution: Pure Aqua successfully manufactured and supplied four industrial stainless steel multi-media filters to a major company in Saudi Arabia to reduce suspended solids and turbidity in water. The filters are composed of stainless steel ASME tanks, electrically actuated valves, high quality media, and each is individually controlled by an advanced PLC. The filters were selected from our MF-1100 Series. MLF60-A-SS tanks were each designed to handle a flow rate of 196 GPM.

Water Challenges: Well water is one of several water sources that is treated for use in various industrial and commercial applications that require high-quality water. Treatment is necessary since well water usually contains high degrees of unwanted impurities such as suspended solids and turbidity. The larger concentration of suspended solids present results in a reduction in water quality. This outcome occurs in the form of turbidity which produces undesirable effects such as color alterations, smell, and taste issues in the water. Scaling can also result due to suspended solids and significantly hampers the performance of equipment and utilities utilized across industries. For these reasons, multimedia filtration systems are depended upon within applications that require high quality treated water. Media filtration has proven to be the most effective treatment method in regard to suspended solids reduction.

Applied Solution: Pure Aqua manufactures and designs advanced carbon steel multimedia filtration systems for the purposes of reducing suspended solids TSS and turbidity in well water. Two multimedia filtration systems were designed for a major company in Kuwait. The system was tailor-made for this exact application and delivered recently. Each system has a media filtration tank, each filled with anthracite, gravel, and sand. The overall system has a flow rate of approximately one hundred gallons per minute. The features on these systems allow for a much larger constant flow of clean water than a typical duplex media filtration system.

This is model 31F36210MM from our MF-400 Series.

Since its startup, the filtration system has been running smoothly with minimal trouble-shooting. For satisfactory results, the filters took advantage of the following grades of media: Anthracite, Silica Sand, and Gravel. Anthracite is a special kind of coal that quickly evaporates and contains a higher amount of carbon than any known type of coal. It is utilized as a filter medium to take out lighter weight turbidity and the extra silica discovered in the water. Its low bulk density promotes extreme savings on backwash water. Silica Sand or silicon dioxide (SiO2) is a popular kind of sand known around the world. It is utilized as a filtration bed for many particulates, free from lime, and is chemically inert. It is graded in various ranges depending on its practical size and application. Gravel has a highly spherical shape that guarantees good flow and equal distribution in support beds. It claims a decreased amount of soluble impurities and will preserve the quality of the treated water, especially in softeners. Coarse, medium, and fine layers are recommended in graded support beds. Multi-Media Filters are manufactured to decrease or eliminate turbidity and suspended particulates from well water, surface water, or seawater, and sometimes utilized for some applications of wastewater. Two or three layers of filtration media are recommended for taking out turbidity and suspended particulates to smaller than 30 microns. Proper design and sizing is crucial to have these filters remove turbidity and suspended solids as small as 10 micron. Multi-Media filters are used for treat waters such as drinking, irrigation, storm, surface, and swimming pools.

Water Challenges: Water sources that contain high levels of suspended solids carry large amounts of sediments and particles at the bottom of the feed water and are carried along with the water as it veers off land. Suspended solids consist of primarily inorganic material that when existing in significant levels, produce cloudy, muddy texture in the water, including causing turbidity. These harmful contaminants contribute to ineffective water purification that’s needed to convert unclean water into clean drinking water. These substances may also be deadly to the aquatic life that are habitating in areas within the water bodies that have high concentrations of suspended solids.

Applied Solution: Pure Aqua successfully manufactured and supplied four commercial media filters to a major company in Qatar to reduce suspended solids and turbidity in water. The filters are composed of FRP tanks designed with top mounted fleck valves, and high quality multi-media. The filters were selected from our MF-400 Series. 31F36210MM tanks were each designed to handle a flow rate of 70 GPM.

Water Challenges: The use of greywater on large-scale levels can create several detrimental effects such as increased odor among cities, short-term use of assets due to corrosion, and less flows amongst sewers. As a result, more operations will require increases in maintenance costs, which ultimately will lead to more capital spending for the replacement of equipment.

Applied Solution: Pure Aqua designs and manufactures water treatment systems such as greywater treatment that work effectively in meeting any water purification need or specifications. A media filtration system was recently manufactured for a major company in Oman. The system is capable of producing forty thousand gallons of water per day. The system includes a multimedia filter, an activated carbon filter, a post chlorination injection system, and a pH adjustment system.

Greywater treatment can produce even more positive outcomes, albeit the negative ones, due to its capability in conservation of limited freshwater sources for other important industries, improvements upon infrastructure capacity, and decrease of wastewater entering wastewater treatment plants.
