Filtration Pilot Plant

Product Code : SCL-WT-13984

Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Filtration Pilot Plant (Product ID: 13984), part of the Water Treatment range under Water and Sanitation equipment, an automated system for studying mechanical (sand) and chemical (activated carbon) filtration.

Quick Answer

This Filtration Pilot Plant runs sand and activated carbon filters in parallel with PID-controlled feed flow, turbidity, temperature and pressure monitoring, letting students compare mechanical and chemical filtration and study how flocculant dose, temperature, and feed flow rate affect filtration efficiency.

Where This Unit Is Used

The Filtration Pilot Plant is used in environmental and chemical engineering laboratories to teach mechanical and chemical filtration process design and automated PID process control, forming part of a broader range of water treatment equipment such as the Coagulation, Flocculation and Settling Pilot Plant.

Frequently Asked Questions

What experiments can be performed on this pilot plant?
Studying mechanical filtration via the sand filter, chemical filtration via the activated carbon filter, analyzing the main parameters affecting filtration such as flocculant dose and temperature, examining the influence of feed flow rate on filtration efficiency, and demonstrating optional automatic PID control with plant supervision.

What is the difference between the two filters?
The sand filter (30 litres, borosilicate glass with layers of decreasing particle size) performs mechanical filtration, while the activated carbon filter (30 litres, borosilicate glass) performs chemical filtration; both can be studied and compared side by side.

How is filtration performance monitored?
An electronic turbidimeter measures turbidity in and out of the filters, four pressure gauges (0–10m water column) track head loss across the filters, and a Pt100 sensor with a board-type indicator measures temperature.

How is chemical dosing handled?
Dedicated metering pumps dose sodium hypochlorite for disinfection and flocculant to aid particle capture, each at up to 3 litres per hour, coordinated with the main circulation pump (3000 L/h) and a pneumatic feed-flow control valve.
