Deep Bed Filter Column

Designed to operate identically to full-scale granular filters using the same bed depth and filter media, providing operational data that may be scaled up to full size.

A clear acrylic unit designed to operate identically to full-scale granular filters. Pilot trials of possible filter designs for water and sewage works can be made reliably at low cost.
