Filtration charges

Filter media charges for sand filters in aquaculture are designed to enhance water filtration efficiency by trapping suspended solids, organic matter, and particles. These media, typically composed of sand, gravel, or other materials with a specific grain size (such as glass), are essential for maintaining water quality in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS).

The media charge plays a key role in particle removal, helping to reduce the organic load and improve the performance of downstream biofilters. Depending on the aquaculture system’s needs, the media charge can be customized for optimal filtration, ensuring that aquaculture farms, shrimp farms, and hatcheries maintain clean and clear water.

Key Features:

• Effective particle removal: Captures both fine and coarse particles from the water.

• Durability: Long-lasting media that can withstand continuous use in demanding aquaculture environments.

• Improved water quality: Helps reduce organic buildup and supports better biological filtration.

Special Cases:

• Specific media are used for biological filtration of water (zeolite, clay, pumice).

• Filters can be filled with media that have chemical activity (activated carbon, clay, peat, coral sand, sulfur) to treat specific water parameters.
