Sand silo

A sand silo is a fundamental component in water treatment plants, employed to remove sand and suspended solids from raw water before it enters subsequent treatment stages

How a Sand Silo Works:

The silo operates on the principle of sedimentation, where sand and heavier solids settle at the bottom due to gravity.

The silo is designed to maintain a slow water flow, enabling effective sand sedimentation.

Accumulated sand at the bottom is periodically removed.
