What size of particles are targeted for removal by the multimedia tank?

The multimedia tank in a water treatment system is designed to effectively remove larger solid particles and sediment from the water, enhancing the overall quality of the water before it undergoes further treatment processes. The typical size of particles targeted for removal by the multimedia tank is around 10 microns.

Particles of this size include clay, silt, and other particulates that can be detrimental to water quality and system efficiency if not removed. By managing the removal of these particles, the multimedia tank ensures that the water is clearer and less turbid, which is crucial for subsequent treatment stages such as microfiltration or ultrafiltration.

In contrast, smaller particles below this size may pass through the multimedia tank or require more specialized filtration systems to remove. Therefore, the focus on a target size of around 10 microns effectively balances the removal of significant particulate contaminants without being overly restrictive or complicated in the filtration process.
