Physical filtration is a water treatment method that involves the removal of contaminations and particles from water through a physical barrier. This process helps to improve the water's clarity and even remove suspended solids. The technology is commonly employed in industrial projects and scenarios where it is essential to safeguard the subsequent sorption filter steps from particles.

Swedish Hydro Solutions physical filters utilize either glass media or sand media, depending on the specific needs of the dedicated water treatment application. Considerations such as particle size, flow rate and water quality standards play a vital role in determining the optimum filter media for a given system.

Both containerized pressurized filters and stand alone pressurized filters are supplied; often tailor made considering the customers needs.
