Diatomaceous earth filtration

These diatoms are mined from diatomite deposits which are located along the Earth's surface as they have accumulated in sediment of open and moving bodies of water.

[1] Due to the precision of diatomaceous earth filtration; being able to capture dangerous and microscopic particles while maintaining efficiency has allowed D.E.

Diatomaceous earth filters has been generally accepted to be the top contender for removing pollutants while having a high efficiency rate.

When applied to pool filtration, a DE filter has demonstrated its capability in capturing varying particle sizes to maintain water clarity.

Recent studies show that diatomaceous earth filters have been able to remove particles, ranging from 1-6 micrometers (micron) in size, thus maximizing water quality.

[3] Source:[4] Considering the nature of certain bacteria, viruses, and parasites filtration is a key component in ensuring the well-being of those that utilize swimming pools.

If a diatomaceous earth filter is employed and properly designed, the application can prove to be extremely efficient in the removal and minimization of almost 100% of parasites.

[6] (6 logs refers to the reduction of a microorganism by 99.9999% of one million) Because of DE filters low micron rating, it is able to trap the smallest pollutant particles present.

[7] It is important to note that filtration systems do not guarantee full removal of possible contaminants, therefore risk of bacteria, viruses, and parasites can still be present.

Diatomaceous earth filtration can also be used in food and beverage application to eliminate contaminants including bacteria and microorganisms which can often change the quality of the consumable item.

If bacteria and fungi are not removed from certain consumable liquids, it can result in long term contamination which affects the preservation and quality of the product.

[9] It is common that beer filtration must remove the turbidity, (yeast, hops resin, calcium oxalate) which can leave harmful microorganisms and affect the taste of the beverage.

[11] Among the popular choice of materials, copper is the most commonly used element which has distributed safe drinking due to its strong characteristics resisting natural wear.

This category of pipes utilizes plastic as they durable and can easily conformable; while being able to withstand high pressures and prevents rust or corrosion.

Usually, body feed is coarse and has a greater volume, which can assist filter cake build up while allowing particles to be efficiently removed.
