Manila Water Co., Inc. has installed filter technology in its Balara Treatment Plant 2 (BTP 2) to reduce its chemical consumption and optimize operations, the listed water provider said on Wednesday. READ:
The activated filter media is a highly processed product in the form of particles with enhanced filtration features, lessening the need for additional infrastructure. These are usually composed of recycled green and amber glass. The current filtration media used at BTP 2 are composed of silica sand.“Iron and manganese cause reddish-brown and brownish-black stains that build up in pipelines and water tanks, restricting water flow and reducing water pressure.
Manila Water reported that installations for four filter beds are also ongoing. BTP 2 currently has 20 filter beds in operation.
