Innovacorp India is a manufacturer, exporter, and supplier of Filter Media to Sri Lanka — silica sand, anthracite, garnet, activated carbon, and iron removal media for industrial WTP and ETP systems. Supplied to textile, apparel, food processing, and general manufacturing plants across Sri Lanka, with export documentation and shipping support.

Filtration is the first line of defence in any water treatment plant — and the filter media is what does the actual work. Silica sand for mechanical filtration; anthracite for dual-media filters where solids loading is higher; garnet for multi-grade filters; activated carbon for organic and odour removal; iron removal media for dissolved iron. Each media type has a specific role and a specific grade. The right combination depends on your feed water and the target water quality — not on a datasheet headline.

Media Types — What Each Does

Media Type	Function
Silica Sand	Mechanical filtration — turbidity and suspended solids removal
Anthracite	Dual-media top layer — higher solids loading, longer runs
Garnet	Multi-grade filtration — high-density bottom layer
Activated Carbon	Organic, colour, and odour removal
Iron Removal Media	Catalytic oxidation of dissolved iron and manganese

Media selection depends on your feed water and system design — confirmed at the enquiry stage.

How Multi-Media Filtration Works

In a multi-media filter, layers of different media are arranged by density — the coarsest and lightest on top, the finest and heaviest at the bottom. Water flows down through the bed; larger particles are captured in the top layer, finer particles in the lower layers. Anthracite on top handles higher solids loading; silica sand below captures finer turbidity; garnet at the bottom provides the final polish. The layer depths and media grades are designed against your flow rate and target water quality. Backwashing lifts the bed and flushes captured solids — the backwash regime is confirmed against your system design.

Where Filter Media Are Used in Sri Lanka

• Textile and apparel processing: Water treatment for dyeing, finishing, and washing — where turbidity and colour affect dye uptake and shade consistency.
• Tea and rubber processing: Process water filtration — where water quality affects product quality.
• Food and beverage: Process water and pre-treatment — where filtration is part of the hygiene programme.
• Industrial WTP and ETP: Filtration stages in water treatment and effluent treatment plants — where TSS removal is required.
• Boiler feed pre-treatment: Filtration ahead of softening or demineralization — reducing the load on downstream resin.

Types We Manufacture, Export & Supply to Sri Lanka

• Silica Sand: Washed and graded for filtration — different mesh sizes available.
• Anthracite: Graded for dual-media filters — higher solids loading.
• Garnet: High-density media for multi-grade filtration.
• Activated Carbon: Granular activated carbon for organic, colour, and odour removal.
• Iron Removal Media: Catalytic media for dissolved iron and manganese removal.

Media selection depends on your system design and target water quality — confirmed at the enquiry stage.

Final specification confirmed against your filter design and target water quality.

Loading and Backwash

Media loading and backwash depend on the filter design, flow rate, and media type. Typical guidance for Sri Lanka plants:

• Loading: Layer depths and media grades confirmed against your filter design — anthracite on top, silica sand below, garnet at the bottom.
• Backwash: Flow rate and duration confirmed against media type and bed expansion — typically 30–50% bed expansion.
• Iron removal media: Backwash regime and regeneration confirmed against the media manufacturer's instructions and your water chemistry.

We recommend a review of your filter design before media selection. Final loading and backwash are confirmed with your plant team.

Packing for Export to Sri Lanka

• 25 kg / 50 kg HDPE-lined bags (standard grades)
• 1000 kg jumbo bags on request
• Bulk supply available on request
• Packaging suited for sea freight; export documentation handled for Sri Lanka
• Storage: cool, dry, away from direct sunlight; keep bags sealed until use

What Changes When the Media Matches the System

• Media layers designed against your flow rate and target water quality
• Anthracite on top — higher solids loading and longer runs
• Silica sand below — finer turbidity removal
• Activated carbon — organic, colour, and odour removal
• Export documentation and shipping support for Sri Lanka

Filter Design Review & Media Selection Support

We work with water treatment plant operators, process engineers, and utility teams in Sri Lanka on media selection, filter design review, and backwash optimisation. The starting point is a review of your filter design — media layers, flow rate, target water quality — followed by a recommended media grade and loading, and where required, a trial before full-scale use. Export documentation and shipping coordination are handled for Sri Lanka.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do you export Filter Media to Sri Lanka?

Yes. We export filter media to Sri Lanka — silica sand, anthracite and activated carbon for industrial WTP and ETP systems — with export documentation and shipping support. Port of discharge and shipping terms are confirmed at the quotation stage.

2. Which filter media suits Sri Lanka's water treatment systems?

Media selection depends on the filtration system and the target water quality. Silica sand for mechanical filtration, anthracite for dual-media filters (higher solids loading), and activated carbon for organic and odour removal. We confirm the grade after reviewing your system design.

3. What are the components of a Dual Media Filter in Sri Lankan plants?

A typical dual media filter uses a top layer of anthracite (for higher solids loading and longer runs) and a bottom layer of fine silica sand (for turbidity removal). The layer depths and media grades depend on the system design — confirmed at enquiry.

4. What are the shipping terms for Filter Media to Sri Lanka?

Filter media are shipped in HDPE-lined bags, jumbo bags and bulk supply depending on the media type, with export documentation handled for Sri Lanka. Shipping terms, port of discharge and lead time are confirmed at the quotation stage.
