Pressure Sand Filter
Overview
A Pressure Sand Filter (PSF) is widely used for the removal of suspended solids, turbidity, dust particles, and other impurities from water and wastewater. The filtration process occurs through a specially graded sand media bed under pressure, producing clear and clean water suitable for further treatment or reuse applications.
