Mechanical filters (Micro Filtration) One of the most effective means to remove suspended particles from water is
by means of mechanical filters. These can be utilized to remove
suspended material such as sand, silt, clay and organic matter from water. Since
these mechanical filters are incapable of removing dissolved or very fine particles
from water; more often than not, they are used in combination with other treatment
equipment. The filters used in mechanical filtration
systems are commonly made of fabric, fiber, ceramic or other such screening
material. Generally mechanical filters are cartridge units
that are mounted in a single waterline or on a tap. They can also be installed
on a tank unit - in which case, they treat and clean the water supply of the
entire household. For effective decontamination, it must be ensured that these
filters are serviced periodically. |
