Anthracite is a type of high-carbon coal used as a filtration media in water treatment systems. It effectively removes suspended solids, turbidity, and organic contaminants from water by providing deep-bed filtration.
How Anthracite Works in Water Treatment:
-
Mechanical Filtration:
-
The coarse, angular shape of anthracite granules traps dirt, sediment, and suspended particles as water flows through.
-
It allows for deeper filtration compared to traditional sand filters, improving efficiency.
-
-
Multi-Media Filtration:
-
Often used as the top layer in multi-media filters along with sand and garnet.
-
Its low density helps retain larger particles, while finer media below capture smaller contaminants.
-
-
Improves Water Clarity & Reduces Turbidity:
-
Removes fine particles that cause cloudiness.
-
Works well in drinking water, industrial, and wastewater treatment systems.
-
-
Durability & Backwashing:
-
Highly durable and resistant to chemical degradation.
-
Requires periodic backwashing to remove trapped debris and maintain filtration efficiency.
-
Key Benefits of Anthracite Media:
✅ High dirt-holding capacity for efficient filtration
✅ Longer filter run times compared to sand filters
✅ Ideal for multi-media filtration systems
✅ Cost-effective and long-lasting
Anthracite is a versatile and reliable filtration media for both municipal and industrial water treatment applications. Let me know if you need help selecting the right filtration setup
