What is Conventional filtration system for seawater pretreatment at the Beni Saf desalination plant using conventional sand filters: a comparison with Filtralite pure and clay filters about?

In the desalination of seawater, the conventional physical pretreatment of the flowing of seawater through sand, anthracite, and cartridge filters is mainly used to eliminate solid elements, such as algae and organic matter. The substitution of conventional sand filters with new ones, such as Filtralite pure and raw clay filters, constitutes the main purpose of the present investigation. The sand filters used in the conventional filtration system for seawater pretreatment at the Beni Saf desalination plant were compared with Filtralite pure and clay filters, and the Filtralite filters were characterized. The filtering material (i.e., Filtralite pure) was analyzed by means of X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy before and after the filtration of seawater. The quantification of the main constituent elements present after the filtration was carried out by energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. A physicochemical study of the filtered water by Filtralite was then conducted to determine the elimination efficiency of salts and heavy metals. Subsequently, the performances of the conventional sand, the Filtralite pure, and the original raw clay (from Mzila, Mostaganem) filters wer
