•White Paper: Enhancement To Popular Pre-treatment Filtration System Improves Desalination Efficiency
By Severn Trent Services
Due to widespread global water shortages, population growth, urban and suburban sprawl, and more, the world isstruggling to maintain access to a pure, potable supply of water for both municipal and industrial applications. Technological advancements within the water treatment market have transformed desalination into a competitive purification technology for the production of potable water from seawater.
A critically important aspect affecting the performance of today's desalination plants is the design and implementation of rapid gravity filter pre-treatment technologies in removing solids. The main components of a rapid gravity sand filter are the filter media, the gravel support layers and the underdrain filters. The underdrain fi lters serve to support the filter medium and gravel; to collect filtered water evenly from the bottom of the filter; and to distribute air and water evenly across the bottom of the filter during backwashing. The evenness of backwash water distribution is a particularly important function, as filter efficiency depends upon the effectiveness of the backwash cycle.
