Glass Bead Filter Media For Water Treatment

Glass bead filter media is a very good choice for water treatment, traditional filter materials such as quartz sand or granules are highly vulnerable to fungi, bacteria, bacteria, algae and calcification due to their porous, irregular structure, glass beads Filtration solutions have a major impact on reducing investment costs for new plants. Customers benefit from large scale: less equipment, smaller plant size (footprint), improved filtrate, efficient removal of organics, improved cycle times.

Water Treatment Glass Bead Filter Media Size

No. diameter(mm) corresponding sieve size
1 0.8-1.0 20-18
2 1.0-1.5 18-14
3 1.5-2.0 14-12
4 2.0-2.5 12-8
5 2.5-3.0 8-7
6 3.0-4.0 7-6
7 4.0-5.0 6-4
8 5.0-6.0 4-3

Below listed Few Advantages of Using Glass Pearl Filter Media:

1.Small particles do not need to be removed after filling with new glass beads
2.No rinsing required after filling with new glass beads
3.Higher speed at the same differential pressure level
4.Higher suspended solids retention capacity (long filtration cycle times)
5.Significantly lower investment and operating costs compared to traditional media
6.Optimal backwash cleaning due to large and regular pore spaces (organic removal)
7.Optimum penetration in a very short time
8.Significantly reduces backwash water volume and energy
9.Long service life and long maintenance intervals
10.Glass beads can be conditioned or recycled

Work Principle of Glass Beads For Filter Media

1. Glass bead filter is made of glass as raw material and artificially produced glass beads as filter medium. When the water flows through, the interception effect of the homogeneous glass beads and the electrostatic adsorption effect generated can dispose of the impurities in the water and form clear water after filtration.
2. Glass bead filtration can save a lot of water for backwashing. The smooth surface can also effectively absorb the attached pollutants and bacteria, reduce biofouling, and the biofilm is not easy to load the surface. Excellent filtering effect.
