Balaji Water Technologies is proud to offer high-grade, spherical sand that is highly compaction resistant. That makes it the perfect silica sand for water well filtration and gravel pack applications. Our high-quality silica sand has a proven track record of providing high-quality water filtration and infill properties.

Our product known for its superior quality and outstanding performance record across all of the industries that we service, from water filtration to fracs and supply.

Silica sand used for water filtration has a sub-round to round shape, making it the perfect filtration media to capture solids suspended in water. Due to the high silica content in the sand, it is also very durable and hard-wearing Silica sand is also used extensively in large-scale water treatment, such as drinking water treatment plants or industrial water treatment. In this process, silicas and is used as part of a complex filtration system to remove various contaminants from the water.

A sand filter, or sand water filter, makes use of sand to filter water. The water to be purified slowly sinks through the sand of the sand filter, leaving the dirt particles from the water behind in the fine pores of the sand.

Why is Silica Sand Used in Water Filtration?

Silica sand used for water filtration has a sub-round to round shape, making it the perfect filtration media to capture solids suspended in water. Due to the high silica content in the sand, it is also very durable and hard-wearing. That allows it to be precisely graded for efficient filtering. The mesh sizes that are most commonly used for water filtration applications include 8×16, 12×20,and 16×30.

The sand filtration process in water treatment applications is straightforward. The sand is typically laid on top of a supporting layer of gravel. As the water enters the filtration, it passes through the silica sand, removing solids and other debris from the water.

The properties of our silica sand for water filtration include:

•          99%+silica quartz sand, no additives or chemicals

•          Washed, cleaned, dried and sized

•          NSF/ ANSI 61 certified for drinking water applications

•          Rounded grains offer superior water flow

•          Rounded grains do not compact like angular grains

•          Rounded grains help prevent a well from producing sand
