FilPro® Municipal Filtration Sands and Gravels

U. S. Silica’s FilPro Filtration Sands and Gravels are nature’s own natural filter media.   They are carefully washed, sized and graded to meet the stringent specifications of AWWA B-100 and meet ANSI standards for consistently uniform and chemically inert filter media.   All products are certified under NSF-61 by the National Sanitation Foundation

FilPro Filtration Sands are produced from hard ore quartz sands that are resistant to degradation during handling and back washing.   These dense and durable sands can effectively improve your filter efficiency, reduce detention time and head pressures, and optimize flow rates.  

FilPro Filtration Sands and Gravels are suitable for Municipal Wastewater treatment, Drinking Water systems, Residential and Commercial Well drilling, and Environmental Monitoring wells.
 
The angular and sub angular grain shape of FilPro media will increase the solids holding capacity and improve the overall efficiency of any filter design.   FilPro sands have the unique ability to absorb, suspend or settle out floc, collides and bacteria.  Greater void space permits smaller grain sizes without excessive head loss in pressure or multi-media systems.   FilPro grades are engineered to optimize the performance of air scour potable water filters and tertiary filtration systems.  FilPro filtration sands have also been proven effective in iron and manganese removal in industrial process water filtration and waste treatment.
FilPro products are available in a variety of package types from our Mauricetown NJ and Columbia SC facilities.  FilPro filtration sands are available in effective size.35mm – 2.25 mm and Uniform Co-efficiency ranges of 1.4 to 1.7.    Filtration gravel sizes are available from 1/8” x 1/16” to 1" X 5/8”.
