Basalt Sand

 

Basalt Sand

Basalt Sand is a common extrusive volcanic rock. It is usually grey to black and fine-grained due to the fast cooling of lava at the surface of a moon or planet. It may be porphyritic containing larger crystals in a fine matrix or vesicular or frothy scoria. Unweathered basalt is black or grey. By definition, basalt is defined as an aphanitic igneous rock that contains, by volume, less than 20% quartz and less than 10% feldspathoid and where at least 65% of the feldspar is in the form of plagioclase.

On Earth, most basalt magmas have formed by decompression melting of the mantle. Basalt commonly erupts on Io, and has also formed on Earth's Moon, Mars, Venus and even on the asteroid Vesta. Source rocks for the partial melts probably include both peridotite and pyroxenite. The crustal portions of oceanic tectonic plates are composed predominantly of basalt, produced from upwelling mantle below ocean ridges.



 

 

Silica Sand

 

Silica Sand

Silica sand for glass, Silica sand for crystal, Silica sand for foundry, Silica sand for painting, Silica Sand for oil and gas, Silica Sand for Stamped concrete, Silica Sand for water filtration, Silica Sand for gulf Course, Silica Sand for water treatment, Silica sand for plastering, Silica Sand for sand plastering and for many many uses.etc 


We offer a comprehensive range of silica sand which is mainly produced by crushing sand stone or quartzite of open texture and then washing and grading it to yield requisite grain distribution. Also, we obtain silica flour by the process of crushing, grinding and washing high quality of quartz, quartzite rocks or from white silica sand.



 

 

Garnet Sand

 

Garnet Sand

Our range of superior quality Garnet Filter Sand is effective in the areas which require high filtration rates and long filter runs. It is ideally suited for the applications where the grain size is on a constant decrease, in the direction of flow. Further, our product range is popular among the clients and is widely used in the highest specification three layer multimedia filters. Following are the advantages of the variety of Garnet Filter Sand, we offer:

 

  • High specific gravity allows unique filter design

  • In combination with other filter

  • Medias, higher flow rates, higher

  • Loading and better filtration can be achieved

  • High hardness reduces attrition and

Filter Sand

 

Filter Sand

We are engaged in offering superior quality range of Filter Sand, which is an excellent Water Treatment Media. This filtration media is naturally clean and is very effective in obtaining pure water. It is widely used in various applications like Industries, Municipal and Households. Following are the advantages:


Filter Sand over other silica sands:

  • Increased surface area improves particle removal while still providing maximum water flow

  • Deep bed penetration

  • Longer filter runs

  • Maximum turbidity entrapment provided by sub-angular shape

  • Less than 0. 5 % acid solubility

  • It is virtually free from fines and silts

  • Significant amounts of time and water is saved in the start-up backwash cycle through reduced initial backwash cycles

  • Washed, dried and screened to meet exacting specifications

  • High quality silica sand and consistent uniformity

  • Filter media that meets or exceeds ISI specifications

  • Uniform coefficients less than 1. 4 resulting in a highly uniform bed

  • Water output quality 10 -15 microns. (sand 0. 5 – 1. 0 mm)




 

 

Water Filter Sand

 

Water Filter Sand

Our variety of Water Filter Sand water systems offers clean Water Treatment solutions. It is widely appreciated by the clients for its effectiveness and purity. These are useful for diverse applications pertaining to Industries, Municipalities and Household water treatment.

 

Following are its conditions for the operation:

 

  • Bed depth: 18-30 in.

  • Free board: 20% of bed depth (min.)

  • Backwash flow rate: 15 - 20 gpm/sq. Ft.
