Filtration Pilot Plant Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
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.

Source-data note: the manufacturer's own specification includes a fragment describing the feed-flow control valve as "for feed flow rate control v = 2.5" without further context on what this value represents (likely a valve flow coefficient); we have not guessed its meaning and have omitted it rather than presenting an unverified interpretation.
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.
Why Buy from Indian Lab Suppliers
Indian Lab Suppliers is an India-based equipment manufacturer and exporter supplying the Filtration Pilot Plant alongside its broader Water and Sanitation catalog, with documentation such as a Certificate of Origin available on request for institutional and export orders.
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.
Do you supply this equipment for institutional or export orders outside India?
