Applications

Silica sand and garnet form multi-media filter beds that remove turbidity and suspended solids before distribution.

Bentonite aids coagulation and flocculation of suspended solids and oils, while soda ash adjusts pH before discharge or reuse.

Fine silica sand and garnet layers in pool filters trap fine particulates for crystal-clear water with low backwash frequency.

Multimedia filtration with garnet and silica sand protects downstream membranes by removing fine suspended solids before reverse osmosis.

Soda ash raises pH and alkalinity to control corrosion and support lime-soda softening in treatment plants.

Material	Role	Estimated Share of Batch
Bentonite Coagulation aid	Acts as a coagulation and flocculation aid that binds fine suspended particles and oils into larger, settleable flocs.	Dosed as coagulant aid (varies with turbidity load)
Garnet (Industrial) Fine filtration media	Provides a dense, fine-grained bottom filter layer in multimedia beds that captures the smallest suspended particles missed by sand.	Filter media layer (sized by bed depth)
Silica Sand Primary filter media	Serves as the primary filtration media in rapid sand and multimedia filters, removing turbidity and suspended solids.	Primary filter media (majority of bed volume)
Soda Ash pH / alkalinity adjuster	Raises pH and alkalinity to control corrosion, support coagulation efficiency, and enable lime-soda softening.	Dosed for pH/alkalinity (varies with raw water chemistry)

Bars show a quick approximate share in a general formulation for this industry — actual ratios vary by product and production line.
