Filtration

Multimedia filtration: where sand and media filters fit in water treatment

Multimedia filters are used to reduce suspended solids and turbidity before downstream treatment or storage.

In this guide

This article explains the treatment objective, the design information that matters and the operating checks that help keep the system practical after installation.

Different media layers support filtration

Properly graded media can capture particles through depth rather than only at the surface. Vessel sizing and filtration velocity affect performance.

Backwash is part of the process

Captured solids must be removed through adequate backwash. Drain capacity, pump flow and available water should be checked during design.

It does not remove everything

A multimedia filter does not normally remove most dissolved salts or every dissolved contaminant. Additional stages are selected according to the target quality.
