The material which allows the passage of the filtrate and retains the particulate material in the form of a cake; it may be cloth or synthetic fiber or a layer of diatomaceous earth.
Any substance used to help with filtration.
The porous material mounted on a plate or frame which separates the solids from the liquids in filtering. Also referred to as filter cloth, filter plate or septum.
Sand, Diatomaceous earth, or other finely graded material used to filter particles out of the water. The material of a filter cartridge.
The material of which the biological filter is formed and on which a biological film (or biomass) containing bacteria and fungi develops.
The permeable portion of a filtration system that provides the liquid/solid separation, such as screens, papers, non-wovens, granular beds and other porous media.
The material used in the filter to trap suspended dirt particles as the water is flowing through it. The polyester or paper used in making a cartridge filter element. The sand used in a sand filter. The D.E. (diatomaceous earth) used in a D.E. filter.
The type of material in a filter.
The porous material contained inside the filter to (a) separate the contaminants from the incoming air, gas, or liquid. (b) separate the liquid from the gas. Filter medium is usually made of paper, wire mesh, special cellulose, or a combination.( 050)
The material used to filter debris from the water - usually sand, a cartridge or diatomaceous earth.
The permeable material that separates particles from a fluid passing through it.
Permeable material that removes particles from fluid being filtered.
The permeable material such as diatomaceous earth, sand, or polyester nonwoven material used to separate suspended particles from liquid.
Any substance used in water filtration systems to remove organic wastes and impurities from the water.
A finely graded material, such as sand, diatomaceous earth, polyester fabric or anthracite coal that removes suspended particles from water passing through it.
The material in a filter which traps solids which cause cloudy, dirty water.
