Filtration Systems
Proper filter station is the heart of micro irrigation system. Every irrigation system needs to have a filter. No matter how clean your water is, a filter is an insurance to guard against debris entering your irrigation system. Even small particles in the water can cause drip emitters to become chocked. The types of filters generally used are: Hydrocyclone filter/ Sand Separator, Media filter (sand filter) and Compulsory filter (screen/disc/turbo clean). The types of filter to be used in the system depend on the quality of water and their capacity depends on the design discharge. Basically Hydrocyclone filter/ Sand Separators are used for sand particle which probably come from running water source like river, canals, bore wells etc. Media filters are used for biological impurities such as algae slime things etc. And last but not the least filter group is Compulsory filter (screen/disc/turbo clean) which are used for following details:
The pressure at the inlet of filter should be optimum (depending up on type of system) to obtain uniform discharge through the drippers and to minimize clogging or choking of laterals and drippers.
The pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of a filter is an indicator that suggests whether filters need cleaning. If pressure difference is more than 0.3 kg/cm² (3 m of water; for screen and disc filter), it means filter needs cleaning. The pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of a filter can be checked using a pressure gauge provided with separate pressure check assemblies for inlet and outlet.
