Description
Turbidex Filter Granules, 3/4 Cubic Foot Box
– formerly known as ChemSorb or Chem Sorb
High purity, low sodium, natural, zeolite, mineral (14 x 30 mesh) that is classified as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) under 21CFR part 182.2729 and 40 CFR Part 180.1001 with ANSI/NSF Standard 61 Listing.
The material is mined, crushed, dried and double screen, sized to produce a high quality filter media with Uniformity Coefficient of 1.64 having high through-put capacity at low differential pressure. The alumni-silicate, crystal, mineral material has surface micro-mineral projections with 0.25 to 10mm spacing that effectively trap suspended solids in water streams.
The surface, micro-projections, together with the high surface area makes this material an ideal, water filtration media. The material is mineralogically and thermally stabile to 500°C. Advantages of ChemSorb Filter Granules versus conventional sand, anthracite and multimedia filter media are below:
– Higher filtration capacity without additional capital costs- Reduced backwash frequency reduces costs and saves labor- High flow rate capacity – gravity flow (4 gpm/ft2) and pressure vessels (12-20 gpm/ft2)- Linear/near linear, head loss curve with superior, depth removal of suspended soilds- Superior filtration eating (5 micron nominal) translates to enhanced water quality
Physical Properties:– Bulk Density:…………………………. 50 lbs per cubic foot- Mesh Size:…………………………….. 14 x 30- Color:……………………………………. off White- Surface Area:…………………………. Avg. 14-25 m2/g- Filtration Nominal Rating:……….. 3-5 microns- Bed Depth………………………………. 30 – 48 Inches- Freeboard……………………………….. 50% Bed Depth- Flow Rate……………………………….. 12 – 20 gpm /ft^2
Applications:Used as a water/liquid, filter bed (or tank) material in lieu of sand/anthracite, pecan shells or other coarse filtration material to efficiently remove suspended solids and fine turbidity particles. The filter granules physically filter and remove a wide range of colloidal and soluble, inorganic metallic, contaminants by surface sorption, chemical-binding, charge-neutralization, coagulation, reactions and/or ionic, ion-exchange phenomena.
– Replacement media for sand/anthracite – Gravity filters: 4 gpm/ft2 – Pressure vessels: 12-18 gpm/ft2- High performance, gravity flow beds for drinking water plants- Industrial surface water pumping stations and cooling tower filters- Polishing filter for industrial wastewater treatment
