Glass Bead Filter Packs for Better Performance and Life Cycle Costs
Glass Bead Filter Packs for Better Performance and Life Cycle Costs
Presented on Tuesday, December 4, 2012
The poor quality of natural sand and gravel as filter material in water wells lead to insufficient hydraulics, reduced life cycles, and increasing operation and maintenance costs. High quality glass beads as a substitute turned out to be a significant step ahead. Comparative laboratory tests proved advantages in physical, hydraulic, and chemical properties. Also, 40% less adsorption for iron and manganese oxides were confirmed in laboratory tests.
