It is a precisely engineered, high-quality filter medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the <strong>oldest filter media<\/strong> available on the market. Compared to analogues, this media <strong>remains the lightest to this day<\/strong>, both within its class and among all types of filter media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Application of Filter-AG Filter Media in Mechanical Water Treatment Systems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The filter media serves as the core component of <strong>Ecosoft FP mechanical water treatment systems<\/strong>, which are widely used in the <strong>private sector and industry<\/strong> as the <strong>first stage of water treatment<\/strong> prior to softening, comprehensive treatment, chlorine removal, and hydrogen sulfide removal, ensuring effective performance of subsequent treatment stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages of Water Treatment Systems Based on Filter-AG Media<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>effective removal of suspended solids sized <strong>20\u201340 \u03bcm<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>filtration occurs throughout the entire depth of the media bed, not only in the upper layer;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>minimal pressure loss;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>media does not compact or cake;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>high economic efficiency (low energy and water consumption during backwashing);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>long service life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Operating Principle of a Filter Using Filter-AG Media<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The system is a <strong>column made of corrosion-resistant plastic<\/strong>, equipped with an <strong>automatic control valve manufactured by Clack Corp. (USA)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chipped edges and irregular surfaces of <strong>Filter-AG particles<\/strong> provide a large surface area and a complex flow path of water through the media bed. As a result, a <strong>mechanical filtration level of 20\u201340 \u03bcm<\/strong> is achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Water enters the filter housing and passes through the filter media, which effectively retains mechanical particles. Purified water is then discharged through the central distributor tube of the vessel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The system is connected to the <strong>water supply line, sewer system, and power supply<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Regeneration of Mechanical Treatment Systems Based on Filter-AG Media<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The regeneration process is performed <strong>automatically<\/strong> once the media capacity is exhausted. Regeneration occurs <strong>during periods with no water consumption<\/strong>. A reverse flow of water passes through the media bed at high velocity, washing out all accumulated suspended solids and discharging them into the sewer system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Immediately after completion of regeneration, the system is ready for further operation. Backwashing is carried out using <strong>untreated inlet water<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although <strong>Filter-AG is not specifically designed for iron removal<\/strong>, the manufacturer states in the official technical description that extensive operational experience has demonstrated <strong>good performance in removing oxidized iron<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Filter-AG has no restrictions on use across industries.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparation for Operation of the Mechanical Water Treatment System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before commissioning the <strong>Filter-AG mechanical water treatment system<\/strong>, it is necessary to perform a <strong>backwash for 10\u201315 minutes<\/strong> to remove factory dust and residual particles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technical Characteristics of Filter-AG Filter Media<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>color: from light gray to nearly white;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>bulk density: <strong>0.38\u20130.42 kg\/dm\u00b3<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>true density: <strong>2.25 kg\/dm\u00b3<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>effective grain size: <strong>0.67 mm<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>uniformity coefficient: <strong>1.8<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>particle size range: <strong>0.6\u20130.7 mm<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Operating Conditions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>maximum inlet water temperature: <strong>60 \u00b0C<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>media bed height: <strong>600\u2013900 mm<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>freeboard inside the filter must be at least <strong>50% of the media bed height<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>filtration linear velocity: <strong>12 m\/h<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>backwash linear velocity: <strong>20\u201324 m\/h<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>media bed expansion during backwashing: <strong>20\u201340% of the media bed height<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Detailed information regarding the <strong>technical characteristics and application of the equipment<\/strong> can be obtained by calling the phone number listed in the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ziko.com.ua\/en\/contacts\/\" title=\"\">\u201cContacts\u201d<\/a><\/strong> section or by submitting a request via the feedback form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mechanical treatment systems based on Filter-AG filter media are used to remove suspended solids from water.
