Description
NextSand™ is an advanced filtration medium made from a rare, natural mineral that has undergone rigorous processing and grading. Its exceptional characteristics result in significant improvement in filtration performance and cost-effectiveness. The hardness, stability, and microporous structure of NextSand™ make it suitable for a wide range of applications in water and wastewater treatment.
Advantages
- Superior filtration capabilities, removing particles as small as 3-5 microns.
- NextSand™ offers a high-capacity filtration system that extends throughout the entire bed depth, providing a capacity that is over two times greater than that of multimedia filtration.
- NextSand™ is a long-lasting medium, with a lifespan of more than five years, and is not consumed during the filtration process.
- Efficient operation of NextSand™ is maintained through simple, periodic backwashing, which keeps the medium clean.
Applications
RO Pretreatment – Superior SDI reduction.
Cooling Towers – Unequaled Turbidity removal.
Minicipal Water Treatment, pressure and gravity filters – higher flow, lower pressure drop and superior filtration performance.
