filtermediets
Filtermediets are materials used in filtration processes to separate solids from liquids or gases by forming a barrier that retains particulates while allowing fluid to pass. They can function as depth media, where particulates are captured within a porous bed, or as surface media, where filtration occurs mainly at the interface. Filtermediets are central to water treatment, air purification, and many industrial processes, influencing flow resistance, cleaning requirements, and overall treatment performance.
Common filtermediets include depth media such as sand, silica, garnet, and anthracite, which trap particles throughout
Performance depends on pore size distribution, porosity, surface area, and chemical compatibility with the processed fluid.
Applications span municipal and industrial water treatment, wastewater processing, air and gas filtration, cleanrooms, and process
