FILTRATION SAND AND GRAVEL

FILTERSIL®

FILTERSIL filtration sand and gravel is produced from high-purity monocrystalline industrial quartz sand. Engineered for optimal performance in mixed media and pressure filters, FILTERSIL effectively supports potable water filtration, industrial process water treatment and wastewater treatment.

Sand Filtration Media to Meet Your Custom Specifications

 

Clean water and waste management are essential to a functional society, which is why our goal is to support those that make it happen with reliable solutions for residential, commercial and municipal applications.

 

Covia's experts have experience with all types of sand filters used in water treatment:

  • Slow Sand Filters: Large beds with fine sand with slower cleaning rates (shown here) 
  • Rapid Sand Filters: Smaller, faster systems
  • Pressure Sand Filters: Enclosed systems that use pumps to push water through
  • We also have experience with multimedia filters, which combine sand with other materials like gravel or anthracite coal, to help trap particles of different sizes.
