Tertiary filtration

Rapid sand filtration is used for the final treatment of potable, industrial, and wastewater, producing a clear effluent with low organic content suitable for reuse. The filters consist of layers of granular material through which water passes, and filtration operates in cyclic discontinuous processes. When the filter reaches turbidity or pressure limits, it is backwashed with water and air, removing accumulated particles and restoring optimal filtration performance.

Activated carbon filters are used for the thorough abatement of organic substances and micro-pollutants such as insecticides, pesticides, heavy metals and various toxic substances that manage to break through the barrier of chemical and biological processes. The purifying effect of activated carbon is due to surface attraction phenomena caused by the huge active surface area of the carbon mass, which is able to capture pollutant particles by adsorption.

We use powdered activated carbon in small and medium-sized plants as an auxiliary treatment to improve the efficiency of chemical and biological treatments. For example, the ability of biological processes to remove dissolved organic substances can be combined with the ability of activated carbon to adsorb non-biodegradable colloidal organic substances.

Powdered activated carbon is suitable for short, discontinuous treatments or for strong purification. For other continuous or high capacity plants, granular activated carbon is used, which is less effective but more economical, recoverable and easily regenerated.
