Introduction: Filter Feed Pumps are essential components in industrial water treatment systems, facilitating the movement of water through filtration stages to enhance its quality. These pumps draw clarified water and direct it through the Pressure Sand Filter (PSF) and Activated Carbon Filter (ACF), which work together to remove solid impurities, organic matter, and undesirable odors. By ensuring consistent water flow and pressure, Filter Feed Pumps play a crucial role in maintaining efficient filtration processes. FILTER FEED PUMPS Filter Feed Pumps are used to draw water from the clarified water sump and pass it through the Pressure Sand Filter (PSF) and Activated Carbon Filter (ACF), which are installed in series to improve water quality. PRESSURE SAND FILTER (PSF) Working Principle: The upper layers of sand perform the actual filtration function, while gravel layers provide physical support. Specialized sand with a specific particle size is used to trap solid impurities present in...
