TURBIDEX filtering mass for water filtration
Rate per liter.
Hyper-filtering mass for drinking and industrial water treatment systems.
Turbidex is a technological, advanced material, nothing to do with sand which is a rather poor material and works only mechanically. Turbidex ™ granules consist of a large surface area aluminosilicate mineral that provides exceptional filtration of suspended solids. The macro porous nature of Turbidex ™ allows filtration at levels below 5 microns in particle size. The rugged, highly porous surface of the Turbidex ™ makes the filtration mass perfect for any application where solids removal is essential. Turbidex is a filtering mass that very effectively replaces sand in clarifying filters.
The Science of Turbidex ™
Turbidex ™ is the latest generation of filter media. Traditional sands and masses have been satisfactory for some water treatments, but industries that need near-pure water, have required a substrate that not only filters below 5 microns, but saves time and money in applications and usability.
THE BENEFITS OF TURBIDEX ™:
Hyper filtration efficiency
The degree of filtration increased by 7 - 10 times; with the turbidex we get to filter down to 5 microns, with the sand difficult to go below 40. (longer life of the systems downstream of the turbidex).
Higher ranges
With rated service flow up to 15 gpm / ft2 in pressure filters, Turbidex ™ offers significant savings in equipment costs compared to traditional masses. Turbidex ™ allows peak flow rates up to 20 gpm / ft2.
Superior clarity of water
Traditional sediment filtration masses are based on mechanical forcing to remove suspended solids, to reduce turbidity. The Turbidex ™ filter mass incorporates, tending thanks to ion exchange, sedimentation and flocculation for the production of crystalline water down to <0.1 NTU of turbidity.
Saving water
The load capacity of Turbidex ™ is up to 1.5 times higher than various filter media and up to 2.8 times higher than sand filters (lower running costs).
Reduced implants
With the same flow rate with Turbidex ™ you can use very often less volume of filtering mass and therefore smaller cylinders (less installation costs).
It reduces the pressure losses
With the same flow rate you can very often use smaller pumps, the Turbidex ™ has less pressure drop (less system costs).
Lightweight support
Weighing 50-70% less than traditional masses, using Turbidex ™ results in substantial savings in transportation and running costs.
Resistant
High resistance to acids, chlorine and chemicals in general. In swimming pools it also retains ammonia.
INDUSTRIES BENEFITING FROM TURBIDEX ™:
Industrial - Aquaculture - Municipal - Commercial - Food and Beverage (Food & Beverage) - Water purification - Car washes - Agriculture - Manufacturing - Pharmaceuticals.
All these industries and many others have understood the superior quality of water filtration with Turbidex ™. If your industry is not listed, it is likely that water quality can be significantly improved by switching to Turbidex ™.
Work parameters and physical characteristics
Turbidex ™ is the latest generation of filter media. The reason is the Turbidex ™ ability to filter water more than the competition with physical absorption, electrostatic absorption and ion exchange. These additional filtration qualities allow the Turbidex ™ to filter water down to 3 microns.

Examples of system sizing, with water speed of 20 m / h:
* To have a flow rate of 5 mc / h, you need a 24x69 cylinder (diameter 610 x height 1890 mm) with 262 - 300 liters of Turbidex (nominal flow rate = 5.84 mc / h)
* To have 10 mc / h of flow you need a cylinder 30x72 (diameter 770 x height 2050 mm) with 427 - 450 liters of Turbidex (nominal flow rate = 9.31 mc / h)
* To have 13.5 mc / h of flow you need a 36x72 cylinder (diameter 927 x height 2120 mm) with 623 - 700 liters of Turbidex (nominal flow rate = 13.49 mc / h)
Turbidex ™ is NSF certified.
