Product Code : SCL-CELE-14172
Overview
The Filterability Index Unit Demonstrator
is a compact bench-top experimental apparatus designed to study the
process of filtration through porous media and to evaluate the filterability
index of various suspensions. This index is a key parameter for assessing
the performance of deep-bed filters in water and wastewater treatment.
The setup enables controlled filtration of
water containing suspended solids through a sand or granular medium, with
accurate measurement of flow rate and pressure drop across the
filter bed. The apparatus is constructed from non-corrosive materials
and incorporates transparent components and tubing for clear
visualization of the filtration process.
A detailed Operation & Maintenance
Manual is included to assist in experiment setup, operation, data analysis,
and maintenance.
