The GUNT Depth Filtration Unit demonstrates a fundamental process in water treatment—depth filtration—using real-time data and hands-on experimentation. It is ideal for exploring how solids are removed from contaminated water through a granular filter bed, with clear visualization and system monitoring tools.
Product Features
- Pumps raw water with suspended solids into the top of the filter bed
- Filter bed captures solids while clean filtrate exits at the bottom into a collection tank
- Filter resistance increases with accumulation of solids—tracked via differential pressure
- Backwashing with treated water regenerates the filter bed, reducing pressure loss
- Equipped with differential pressure gauge and multiple pressure measurement points
- Tube manometers display pressure profile across the filter bed for Micheau diagram plotting
- Measures flow rate, system pressure, temperature, and pressure loss
- Adjustable flow velocity through the filter for testing different operating conditions
- Sample collection possible at all key stages for analysis
- Visible scale to read and monitor filter bed height
Benefits
- Hands-on demonstration of granular media filtration in real-time
- Clear tracking of system behavior and filter bed performance over time
- Enhances understanding of pressure distribution, flow rates, and filter maintenance
