Ultrapure Water Treatment Explained
Mechanical filters in ultrapure water systems use layered quartz sand to remove suspended solids. Proper design, bridging formation, and improved ABS water caps ensure even filtration, effective backwashing, and protection of downstream equipment.
The selection of mechanical filters is based on the total water intake of the system to select the size and combination of filters.
One mechanical filter is not enough to choose multiple parallel uses and the number of spares. For example, according to the water recovery rate of the reverse osmosis system, The ratio of the water output to the system is the total water intake of the system.
The packing in the mechanical filter is composed of many refined quartz sands with different particle diameters in strict order from large to small. Although a good quartz sand gradation filter is formed when it is first put into use, the filtering effect is often not very good. It is because the filter did not form a “bridging” at the beginning. The so-called “bridging” refers to an interception net composed of suspended solids in the water. The intercepting net intercepts suspended solids of the same particle size and then intercepted a smaller particle size Suspended matter. Form a reverse particle size filtration process that first intercepts sizeable particulate matter and then intercepts small particulate matter.
Once the filter forms a “bridging” the filtering effect is perfect. As the time of operation…
