Sand filter

Pressure sand filters for water clarification and pretreatment

A sand filter removes suspended solids and turbidity by passing water through a graded silica bed. Industrial units are typically built as pressure vessels with steel shells, nozzles, and backwash connections.

Behineh Ab designs and fabricates sand filters to project flow rate, inlet turbidity, and required outlet quality—carbon steel with lining or stainless steel, vertical or horizontal.

Common uses include RO pretreatment, cooling towers, drinking water, irrigation, and process water lines.

How is a sand filter different from a carbon filter?
Sand filters target solids and turbidity; carbon filters adsorb chlorine, taste/odor, and organics. Sand is usually installed upstream of carbon.
Can you customize diameter and capacity?
Yes. Shell size, media depth, nozzles, and coatings are designed to your flow and water quality.
