Filtration through sand

DESCRIPTION

This process permits the separation of particles in a fluid mixture by passing the mixture through a porous medium.

This operation is similar to that used for water treatment when water is filtered prior to the addition of flocculants or chemicals. Study of filtration using a thick granulated filtering medium.
Regenerating the medium after use.
