    Ion Exchange offers a continuous upflow sand filter that operates without backwashing. The unique design continuously cleans and regenerates the sand bed using internal recycling. Dirty sand is carried upwards through an air lift pump and cleaned in a sand washer before being returned to the top of the filter bed. This allows continuous filtration without interruption for backwashing. The filter can handle influent with much higher solids loads than conventional filters and provides consistent, high quality filtrate.

    Technical Features

    The system is suitably designed for operating at atmospheric pressure. Filter shell is in mild steel plate or in RCC construction, depending upon the flow rates and requirements. Components like inlet hood, overflow weir, collection vessel and sand distribution cone are in mild steel epoxy coated construction. Filter media is graded sand which is suitably selected for the application. Air lift pump hose is in natural rubber and clamps are of stainless steel. Available in various sizes in steel with flow rates of 2 - 100 m3/h. For higher flow rates, a concrete walled honeycombed structure is used. Surface loading depends upon the type of application and varies from 6 m/h to 30 m/h.

    Working
    Continuous Sand Filter
    Ion Exchange offers a continuous upflow filter, which can Raw water filtration for industrial process water filter influent containing up to ten times more dirt than a Cooling tower sidestream filtration and make up conventional filter. This revolutionary sand filter does not require to be backwashed to keep the filter bed clean as the sand bed is continuously cleaned and regenerated by internal recycling. This ensures uninterrupted operation without stopping for backwash. Recycling of white water in pulp and paper industry
    Filtrate Filtrate discharge via overflow Dirty wash water

    Applications
    Raw water filtration for potable use

    Tertiary treatment of sewage Treatment of industrial waste water Filtration of water to remove mill scale
    Sand falls down between concentric pipes (sand washer) and meets a partial flow of filtered water which carries impurities upwards

    The continuous operation results in a constant and low pressure drop. Maximum clean filtrate is assured since the filter bed always contains a certain amount of solids which improve filtration. This mode of operation also enables the filter to accept a highly polluted flow with high efficiency. The unique cleaning method means backwash water storage tanks and backwash pumps can be dispensed with.

    Features

    Advantages

    Cone-shaped distributor uniformly spreads cleaned sand over filter bed

    Continuous service flow. Less manpower required.

    Continuous backwash operation.

    Removes oil effectively without mud balling effect. Eliminates backwash downtime, requirement of backwash accessories like storage tanks, blowers and pumps. Simple wash water handling.
    Impurities are separated from sand during transportation through air lift pump Distributor ring spreads influent over filter bed Influent flows upwards and is filtered in filter bed Sand bed moves downwards slowly and continuously

    Principle of Operation
    The sand bed of this continuous upflow filter is dirtiest around the feed inlet in the lower part of the filter. The dirty sand is carried from the lower part of the filter through the air lift pump up to the sand washer in the upper part of the filter. The cleaned sand is then returned to the upper layer of the bed. The entire filter bed is thus constantly moving downwards. This continuous action enables it to filter influent containing up to ten times more dirt than a conventional filter. Simple modular construction with minimum moving parts. Low operation, space saving, easy capacity expansion. Operates at atmospheric pressure. Low energy consumption. Handles suspended solids load up to 150 ppm and gives consistent treated water quality of less than 5 ppm. Eliminates the requirement of clarifier for medium loads.
