FRP Multimedia Filters
Overview
A Multimedia Filter (MMF) is a type of filtration system commonly used in water treatment processes. It typically contains multiple layers of different media types (hence “multimedia”) to remove suspended particles and impurities from water. These layers are usually arranged in descending order of particle size, which helps enhance the filtration process.
The body or shell of the filter is made from Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP), which is a composite material known for its high strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight properties.
FRP is preferred in water treatment systems as it resists rust and chemical corrosion, making it ideal for harsh environments.
Manufacturing Process:
Filament Winding: Glass fibers are wound around a rotating mandrel and coated with resin to form the pipe.
Hand Lay-up: Layers of glass fiber are manually applied and impregnated with resin.
FRP multi-media filters are an essential component in ensuring water quality and are popular for their cost-effectiveness and robust performance across different sectors.
