GROUNDWATER FILTRATION

Sand is a crucial component in groundwater filtration systems, where it acts as a natural and effective mechanical and biological filter. Here’s how sand is used:

Key Benefits of Lapis Gold Silica Sand:

  • Process – As groundwater flows through a sand bed, suspended solids (like silt, clay, organic matter, and debris) are physically trapped between sand grains. Over time, a biological layer forms on the top layer of the sand bed.
  • Effectiveness – Fine sand is particularly effective at capturing smaller particles, helping to clarify water.
  • Function – This layer contains microorganisms that consume pathogens and organic contaminants, further purifying the water.
  • Inert & Non-toxic – Does not react with water.
  • Readily Available – Cost-effective and abundant.

      • Applications:

      • Sand Trap & Sediment Filters
      • Biological Filtration (in slow sand filters)
      • Continuous Filters
      • Slow, Rapid & Multimedia Filter Systems
