Overview

What it is

Activated Glass Filter Media (AFM) is a premium high-performance filtration media manufactured from specially processed recycled glass. Engineered with precision-controlled particle size and activated surface technology, AFM provides superior suspended solids retention, enhanced hydraulic performance and extended operational life compared to conventional silica sand.

It is ideal for pressure filters, multimedia filters and advanced water & wastewater treatment applications requiring high filtration efficiency and low maintenance.

Features

Key features

Chemically inert, non-toxic and corrosion resistant
Longer service life than conventional silica sand
Suitable for potable, industrial and process water filtration

Working principle

How it works

Water enters the bed

Feed water passes down through the precision-graded AFM bed in a pressure or multimedia filter.

Depth filtration captures solids

The high-porosity, uniform micro-channel structure retains suspended solids, turbidity and oil throughout the media depth.

Biofouling resisted

The activated glass surface discourages bacterial growth, keeping performance stable between services.

Efficient backwash

Low clogging tendency and efficient solids release mean shorter, less frequent backwash cycles than sand.
