Sand rejection efficiency:

Tests conducted on Model:ASTL at a face velocity of 0.5m/sec indicates a typical efficiency of

  • 90 percent on 200 to 700 microns.
  • 80 percent on 20 to 200 microns.
  • 50 percent on 1 to 70 microns.

Better efficiency can be achieved by sand trap louvers with washable aluminium filters.
