Deep Bed Filter Column Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Deep Bed Filter Column

Product Code : SCL-CELE-14173

Overview

The Deep Bed Filter Column is a laboratory-scale filtration trainer designed to demonstrate the principles and performance characteristics of deep-bed filtration systems. It provides a clear visual and analytical understanding of the filtration process through a granular medium under controlled conditions.

The apparatus is constructed using non-corrosive transparent acrylic to enable full visibility of the filtration process. It allows students to study head loss development, pressure distribution, bed fluidization, and backwashing phenomena. The system is complete with two feed/sump tanks, a centrifugal pump, flowmeter, and multi-tube manometer for comprehensive analysis and precise data measurement.

A detailed Operation & Maintenance Manual is supplied with every unit.


Key Features

  • Transparent acrylic filter column for complete visibility of filtration and backwashing processes.
  • Flanged end pieces allow easy filling, cleaning, and replacement of filter media.
  • Ballotini packing ensures uniform water distribution through the filter bed.
  • Multiple slotted pressure tapings across the bed allow measurement of pressure drop per unit length and sampling for concentration studies.
  • Comprehensive instrumentation including differential manometers and flow meters for accurate monitoring.
  • Dual feed tanks and circulation pump for continuous and steady operation.
  • Designed for demonstration, teaching, and performance analysis of filtration processes.
