FRP Multimedia Filters

An MMF, or multimedia filter, is a typical unit of almost every water treatment facility, for it filters water through different layers of media, each one of which is calibrated to filter different sizes of suspended solids. Layers are placed in order from coarse to fine, which provides the greatest efficiency with filtration as well as water quality that results.

The exterior casing of the filter is constructed using fiber-reinforced plastic, commonly referred to as FRP. That FRP is durable, corrosion resistant, and lightweight is a reason to use it. FRP is particularly suitable for chemical or corrosive environments where metal parts can wear away after some time.

Manufacturing Methods

• Filament Winding: Glass fibers are wrapped around a revolving mold and impregnated with resin to produce a tough, uniform structure.
• Hand Lay-up: Sheets of glass fiber are laid on by hand and saturated with resin to produce a rigid, tough composite layer.

FRP multimedia filters are commonly used in industries owing to their cost-effectiveness and high reliability. FRP multimedia filters are pivotal in enhancing the quality of water and are relied upon to ensure long life when in use and low maintenance requirements.
