What is a Filtration device?

Filtration is the removal of substances contained in a liquid and separating the mixed state of a solid and a liquid. Particles suspended in a liquid are called a slurry, and a sheet-like porous substance that separates a liquid from a solid is called a filter medium. And a filtration device is a device that filters using a filter medium to separate the liquid and the solid in the liquid. A filter medium, which is a perforated plate with fine holes, is used to separate liquid and solid. Filtration is one of the oldest techniques used by mankind and is said to have been used to filter wine in ancient Mesopotamia around 6000 BC.

Application of Filtration device

Filtration equipment is used in various places. For example, filtration for pools and tub water, filtration for machine tools and waste water, filtration for sewers, filtration for air purifiers and water purifiers. As an example of the use of simple filtration, use a coffee dripper when making coffee. The dust sucked up by a vacuum cleaner is separated, and the filters of air conditioners and air purifiers also filter particles in gas instead of liquid. In the liquor manufacturing process, a filtration process is also used to separate liquor and lees. There are also filtration devices for purifying drinking water, rainwater filtration devices for securing drinking water for disaster victims in the event of a disaster, and filtration devices for well water.
