Deep Bed Filter Column Model FM 65

Sci-tech Deep Bed Filter Column Model FM 65 is designed to study the characteristics of a filter column. It consists of an acrylic unit with flanged end pieces to allow easy access. It consists of a column filled with Ballotini packing to ensure the good water distribution. Slotted pressure tapings are mounted on the column for measuring the pressure drop across the bed pe r unit length and staggered over an approximate 0.8 m depth. These tapings are connected to a differential manometer. These tapings can also be used for drawing the samples from the column and change in concentration of the suspension can be determined. The unit is complete with 2 Nos. of feed tanks. A centrifugal pump is provided to circulate the water through the column under 1 Atmospheric pressure. Water supplied to the column is regulated and controlled by Rotameter. The 10 kg bag of filter medium will be supplied with the set-up. Detailed Operation & Maintenance Manual is provided along with the trainer.

Optional: ‘Sci-Cal’ Computer Control Software & Interface in ‘LabVIEW’

‘Sci-Cal’ software & hardware has been designed for use with more than 600 ‘Sci-tech’ trainers. ‘Sci-Cal’ comes in a module that can be fitted or mounted on the Sci-tech trainers very easily.

‘Sci-Cal’ box has 11 inches front HMI interactive panel, inside are i3 processor computer with it’s own hard drive & software processor with 16 to 32 analog and 16 to 32 digital signal data-loggers. The ‘LabVIEW’ processes the input signal with in-built data and formulae to tabulate results for the Sci-tech trainers.

‘Sci-Cal’ box has HDMI output for connection to a projector or an electronic whiteboard or a monitor.

‘Sci-Cal’ box has input ports for inputs from the Sci-tech trainer sensors.

‘Sci-Cal’ eliminates requirement of external computer.

Essential Equipment
 Filter Media: Approx 10kg of a test medium is required to pack the column.
 Suitable alternatives include well rounded quartz-grain sand BS16-30 mesh (1.0-0.5mm), anthracite, crushed flint or aluminium oxide.

Recommended Accessories
 40 sample collectors (test tubes or bottles)
 Turbidimeter or Spectrophotometer
 Flexible tubing for drain connection etc. 1 metre rule
 Air foot-pump and pressure tubing (2.5m)

Experiments
 Measuring how fast total head loss increases with filtration run
 Measuring pressure drop profiles through the filter bed
 Measuring suspension concentration profiles through the filter bed
 Demonstration of reversed flow fluidization and backwashing
 The column may be readily adapted for absorption and ion Exchange studies.

Services Required
– Mains power supply: 220-240V, 1Ph, 50Hz
– Water: Tap water supply & Drain.
