Pressure Sand Filter Manufacturer
What Is Pressure Sand Filter
Distington Engineers supplies robust and efficient Pressure Sand Filters (PSF) for the removal of suspended solids, turbidity, and particulate matter from water. These filters operate under pressure, passing water through a multi-layered bed of graded silica sand and pebbles, ensuring effective filtration and delivering clear, high-quality water.
Widely used in industrial water treatment, municipal water supply, effluent treatment plants (ETP), Sewage Treatment Plants (STP), cooling tower make-up water, and irrigation systems, our PSFs are essential for both pre-treatment and polishing applications.
The unit consists of a corrosion-resistant mild steel, FRP, or stainless steel vessel, fitted with an inlet distributor, underdrain system, and pressure gauges. The sand media traps suspended impurities while allowing clean water to pass through, with periodic backwashing restoring the filter’s efficiency.
Benefits of our Pressure Sand Filters include low operating costs, simple maintenance, long service life, and consistent filtration performance.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pressure Sand Filter
Pressure filtration works by forcing water through a filter media under pressure, which traps suspended solids, dirt, and impurities while allowing clean water to pass through.
The three main types of sand filters are Rapid Sand Filters, Slow Sand Filters, and Pressure Sand Filters, each designed for different water treatment applications and filtration requirements.
