The DynaSand® filter
– an intelligent tool
Filtration through a bed of sand is a
cost effective way of removing
suspended solids and other impuri-
ties in water treatment and waste-
water purification. Nature itself
employs the process and water engi-
neers adopted it for practical use
already in ancient times.
Our mission is pure water. With
DynaSand we made water filtration
a continuous process and offered the
water industry a new, unique tool.

DynaSand® filter
– operation
The DynaSand filter is based on the
counterflow principle. The water to
be treated is admitted through the
inlet distributor () in the lower
section of the unit and is cleaned as it
flows upwards through the sand bed,
prior to discharge through the filtrate
outlet () at the top. The sand
containing the entrapped solids is
conveyed from the tapered bottom
section of the unit (), by means of an
airlift pump (), to the sand washer
() at the top. Cleaning of the sand
commences in the pump itself, in
which impurities are separated from
the sand grains by the turbulent
mixing action. The contaminated
sand spills from the pump outlet into
the washer labyrinth (), in which it is
washed by a small countercurrent
flow of clean water. The separated
solids are discharged through the
wash water outlet (), while the
grains of clean sand (which are heavi-
er) are returned to the sand bed ().
As a result, the bed is in slow,
constant downward motion through
the unit. Compressed air for the sand
pump is provided via the control
panel ().
Thus, water purification and sand
washing both take place continuous-
ly, enabling the filter to remain in DynaSand operates continuously

The Johnson Lamella® separator
takes care of the wash water
The DynaSand® filter can be com-
bined with a Johnson Lamella sepa-
rator to create an integrated water
treatment system. In this case, the
separator is used to clean the filter
wash water, the separated sludge
being thickened and the clean water
being returned to the filter.
The settling surface in the lamel-
la separator unit is provided by a
number of inclined, parallel plates.
The saving of floor area compared
with a conventional settling tank is
about %.
The water to be treated is admit-
ted through the inlet chamber in the
mid-section, flows upwards through
the plate assembly and is discharged
to the runoff launders ensuring that
flow is distributed uniformly
between the plates. After settling on
the plates, the solids slide down-
wards to collect in the sludge
hopper in the base of the unit.
The Johnson Lamella separator is
designed to minimize the overall
cost of the plant. The separator is
supplied as a complete unit to redu-
ce the cost of installation, while the
maintenance costs are minimized by
the almost negligible degree of wear
and by the absence of moving parts.
